- AT THE AUSTIN MOTOGP ROUND THE SPECIAL EDITION THAT CELEBRATES THE APRILIA RSV4’S FIRST LEGENDARY VICTORY MAKES ITS DÉBUT
- THE ICONIC LIVERY OF MAX BIAGGI’S FIRST TRIUMPH IN BRNO IS BACK, THE WIN THAT MARKED THE BEGINNING OF A HISTORIC SPORTING STORY, AN ABSOLUTE DOMINATION COMPRISING SEVEN WORLD TITLES, 44 WINS, AND 102 PODIUMS
It was 26 July 2009 when Max Biaggi, on the Brno circuit, took the first unforgettable victory of the Aprilia RSV4 in the World Superbike Championship. No one could have known it at the time, but that was the first episode of a story that became legendary. It was the start of one of the most victorious stories ever for a single model in the most important factory derivative championship in the world, with an extraordinary collection of seven world titles (3 Rider and 4 Manufacturer), 44 wins and 102 podiums.
Today, Aprilia celebrates that historic day for the brand by bringing back the iconic livery symbolic of the RSV4’s spectacular sporting début on the crowning jewel of the V4 range: the superbike RSV4 Factory and the hypernaked Tuono V4 Factory. In this special version, RSV4 Factory and Tuono V4 Factory also come standard with carbon front brake air intakes and with a carbon front mudguard. The progressive numbering of the model appears on the fuel tank.
This is how the SE-09 SBK special numbered edition is born, unveiled for the first time in public during the weekend of the MotoGP Grand Prix of the Americas in Austin, Texas.
It was the Aprilia Racing factory riders, Aleix Espargaró and Maverick Viñales, currently protagonists in the top world motorcycling championship astride the RS-GP prototypes from Noale, who christened the RSV4 Factory and the Tuono V4 Factory in this new, exciting, and evocative version.
The Aprilia V4 Factory SE-09 SBK machines stand out for their livery dominated by black with the characteristic red and white trim on the top fairing, lug, fuel tank, and tail fairing, exactly like the RSV4 that astonished the world at its début on the WSBK stage. An unmistakeable mix in its linear simplicity, which brings the brand from Noale and its legendary sporting history to the mind of any motorcycling enthusiast.

The inimitable Tuono
The inimitable Hypernaked offers two exciting choices.
The Tuono V4 Factory confirms its reputation as the ultimate adrenalin machine, setting hearts thumping and pulses racing and delivering uncompromised, unbeatable fun both on the road and track. On the other side, the new ergonomics and specially-designed accessories make the Tuono V4 the perfect companion for touring and adventures, without, of course, sacrificing on speed.
Setting the benchmark
The Aprilia Tuono V4 continues to raise the bar in the Hypernaked category with never-before-seen levels of performance and sophistication, the result of Aprilia know-how and the unrivalled experience of the inventors of this class of bike. They took a superbike and created a vehicle that delivers sheer joy on the road and track alike. It’s little wonder it has been described as “the most extraordinary sports bike you can buy, with performance and finishes second to none”.
Absolute power, total control
The Tuono V4 remains the only naked powered by the unique four-cylinder narrow 65° V engine. It may be Euro-5 compliant, but that hasn’t come at the cost of the inimitable sound and famed outstanding performance. With its 175 horsepower and 121 Nm, together with the dazzlingly balanced chassis and advanced electronics package, this extraordinary 1077-cc V4 is set to continue to dominate the entire Hypernaked category.
A new style
The new style of the Tuono V4 is inspired by the RS 660, with its innovative double fairing with aerodynamic appendix function, characterised by reduced surfaces and the new triple LED light configuration with DRLs that include “bending lights”. The new design puts the focus on ergonomics with a revamped fuel tank shape and tail faring creating more space and a better fit for the rider.
Sophisticated electronics
The bike comes with six ride modes – three for the track and three for the road. All the rider needs to do is select the one that best suits the requirements and it will automatically adjust Traction Control, Wheelie Control, engine brakes, ABS and other customisable features.
Ergonomics
The meticulous design can be seen in the attention to ergonomics with the shape of the seat ensuring the rider is perfectly positioned over the fairing for a natural riding positioning that prevents tiredness even when enjoying a more sports-oriented ride.
Numbered special edition
The model’s unique sequence number is proudly emblazoned on the fuel tank, making every Tuono V4 Factory SE-O9 SBK truly one of a kind.
DRL lights
Key to the design are streamlined surfaces and a classic top fairing that features triple LED lights, including DRLs with “bending lights”.
Engine
The Tuono V4 Factory’s inimitable character derives from its four-cylinder 1077-cc, 65° V configuration engine while 175 horsepower at 11350 revs and 121 Nm torque at 9000 rpm are sure to surprise and delight even the most demanding rider.
Racing kit
The front mudguard and front brake air intakes are made from carbon, with the latter delivering efficient ventilation of the Brembo Stylema® monoblock front brake callipers and maintaining stable braking, even in the sharpest manoeuvres.
