MCN was granted exclusive access to the new Aprilia RSV4 superbike at the Noale factory last week and we were also able to get this video of the bike showing details of the 180bhp V4 machine.

The bike will not be on show at the NEC bike show so this will be the closest many people can get until the bike hits dealers in the middle of 2009.

Despite the fact that it is very difficult to find pictures of people on their RSV4, there are some video's of the RSV4 with a nice Akrapovic kit.
