Question by zero_eden_delmo: Hey what’s up with Aprilia’s V4 engine?
I am really liking the new RSV4 but I keep hearing some different things about it.

I heard that Aprilia WAS so post to use the v4 as a replacement engine to their old twin.

But I also heard that they are only going to make enough of them so that they can use it as a race bike.

I still haven’t seen a street version of it and no one has a clue of how much it is going to be.

Can you also rate Aprilia’s on average reliability 1 being a Harley and 10 being Japanese status.
10 is the best and 1 is the worst.
umm …what?

Sorry if you didn’t agree with my scale.
Was it the Harley thing? I am sorry.
I just needed something for the scale. It’s not like all jap bike’s are perfect. It all depend’s on the model and how you take care of it. Would you feel better if I used Ducati’s instead because even they have problem’s with their engines.

LOL how did you know what cc my MX bike is? : )
I might as-well say this.
The Aprilia v4 is NOT the same thing as Ducati’s Desmo. I keep hearing the comparison between them. These bike’s are in completely different fields. Aprilia’s are a little more than the jap bikes but not by much. I feel safe in saying that I am expecting the RSV4 to be around the 15-18k. I really dout it to be around the 20k.

Just because it is a v4 doesn’t mean big money. And they said the RACE version was going to have over 200hp not the street version. Besides Kawasaki’s 08 10r race bike get’s almost the same hp.

Which end of your 1 – 10 scale is the top?

Edit: shoulda expected that from a 250cc guy.
Probably still think they leak too.
I keep wondering how anyone can be so behind the times they believe stuff that changed before they were born.
