VEHICLE REVIEW

APRILIA RSV 1000 R FACTORY
The Aprilia RSV 1000 R Factory was the fastest bike around ten out of twelve curves and the fastest in top speed at the end of six out of twelve straights. The Aprilia RSV 1000 R Factory did not just win, it dominated the final of the 2006 Master Bike, thanks to amazingly safe braking, rapid yet smooth and precise control when leaning into curves, excellent rear wheel feel under acceleration and, last but not least, a final drive gear ratio specially calculated for effective racing.This year's Master Bike has scientifically and conclusively demonstrated that the Aprilia RSV 1000 R Factory is the most efficient winning machine on the racetrack. It is also the first non-Japanese bike to dominate the final points table, and the most impressive V twin in the competition.
The RSV 1000 R Factory is the best twin cylinder super sport that money can buy. Its updated V60 Magnesium engine and new chassis combine with special, ultra-light materials and the best components in the world to ensure absolute excellence on the track. The Aprilia RSV 1000 R Factory is the most expression of Aprilia's technological and sporting heritage. Here is a bike designed for those who demand maximum performance on the track. Yet, like all previous RSV 1000 R models, the new Factory still sells at a surprisingly low price. Just like its predecessors, the new Factory brings you the best motorcycle technology in the world at a rock bottom price. Nowhere else will you find this level of equipment for such a low outlay.The Factory is an RSV 1000 R that has been pushed beyond the excellence barrier, cleverly modified and equipped with only superlative components.
The important details that distinguish the Factory from the standard RSV 1000 R are:

Fully adjustable Öhlins Racing rear mono shock.

Adjustable Öhlins steering damper fitted as standard.

Gold painted, forged aluminium wheels.

Carbon fibre parts kit fitted as standard.

Rider's seat with non-slip racing upholstery.

Frame finished in gold.

Pirelli Super Corsa Pro 120/70 - 190/55 ZR 17 tyres.

The Aprilia RSV 1000 R Factory is equipped with world-beating solutions and components taken directly from the world of racing.
The result is truly impressive in terms of design and manufacturing quality. The RSV 1000 R Factory stands apart from other twin-cylinder machines for the perfect balance it achieves between quality, technology, high-tech components and finish

OVERVIEW SPECIFICATIONS
ENGINE
Even the V60 Magnesium engine that powers the Factory has benefited from many improvements introduced to boost performance and achieve Euro 3 homologation at the same time. The new engine puts out 105.24 kW (143 HP) at 10,000 rpm and develops a maximum torque of 103 Nm at 8,000 rpm. The exhaust system now has external catalytic converters that are installed nearer the collector pipes to cut activation time. The Factory is homologated to Euro 3 standards as a result, meaning lower emissions than ever before.

SUSPENSION & STEERING
The 43 mm upside-down Öhlins Racing fork is titanium nitride (TiN) coated for maximum smoothness. Its advanced design with longer sleeves and shorter fork bottoms reduces load at two critical points, the slide bush and the stanchion to fork bottom joint. Wheel travel is 120 mm. Like all top racing forks, the Öhlins allows precision adjustment of compression and rebound damping as well as spring preload. The fork has new, forged aluminium mounting blocks to enable radial calipers to be fitted. An Öhlins Racing rear monoshock is fitted as standard. The unit incorporates a separate piggy back nitrogen cylinder and provides adjustments for spring preload, compression and rebound. A characteristic unique to Aprilia is that the length of the monoshock can be adjusted directly from the unit itself to vary the height of the bike's rear end. Perfect suspension setup can therefore be achieved for all riding styles and all track characteristics

BRAKES
The world's top twin cylinder supersport demands top quality brakes. The RSV 1000 R Factory is at the cutting edge of technology, and is equipped with Triple Bridge, radial caliper front brakes developed by Aprilia in conjunction with Brembo. The rear brakes are Brembo too, and have a 220 mm stainless steel disc and a caliper with two 32 mm pistons. The front and rear braking circuits both use aeronautical metal braid hoses to eliminate the pressure variations associated with conventional rubber brake lines, guaranteeing maximum braking precision.

VEHICLE COMPONENTS
What places the Aprilia RSV 1000 R Factory in a class of its own is the care taken in its design and manufacture and the attention paid to every single component on the bike. The result is increased performance, better feel and greater rideability, with reduced weight and a quality and finish that no other bike can equal.
An exclusive two chamber steering damper from Öhlins Racing's competition range is fitted as standard. The damper is adjustable to adapt steering response to all possible riding conditions.
Extensive use of carbon fibre components makes the bike far lighter as well as more refined. The mudguards and various fairing parts are made of extremely light woven black carbon fibre.
The RSV 1000 R Factory also features a steering pin in aluminium instead of steel to help reduce weight.
The exclusively designed forged wheels deserve special mention. These wheels are one of the most distinctive features of the bike, not just in appearance, but in technical specifications too.
Finite element analysis was used to identify the best possible wheel design. The result is a six spoke front wheel and a five spoke back wheel with 'Y' profile spokes forking at the rim to provide two anchor points each.
This spoke design is not just a question of looks. It gives excellent lateral and torsional rigidity and thus helps maintain perfect wheel to suspension alignment. On the RSV 1000 R Factory everything has been designed for performance and beauty.
The saving in weight is also exceptional. Each wheel weighs about 25% less than the lightest available wheels made using conventional aluminium casting techniques.
Inertia is therefore 25% lower than with cast aluminium alloy wheels.
The wheels are also anodised instead of painted. This has further reduced weight and ensures that these essential components keep their characteristic finish for the entire life of the bike. Even the manufacturing specifications have been recessed into the wheel instead of embossed on it, for a final touch of class.
Added together, all these tiny savings mean that the RSV 1000 R Factory achieves an amazing dry weight of only 185 kg.
