Or young adults who you are, ‘sAprilia RS is a myth, for all. A bike was born in 1993 and has sold some 100,000 units in total spread over as many as 30 countries. The secret? The whole “guilt” of experience in racing experience, among other things, which led to the RS 125 to win 282 races and 36 titles! Certainly then, the sport is like because he always had refined aesthetics, unique, and has always been ahead of the competition for technical level. The second time remains in the catalog, but the news is the 4 StrokeAnd is called RS4, A whole new bike now will be analyzed. The price is € 4,390 ex-dealer, A figure in line with competition.
This small two-wheeled implement technical solutions for higher capacity bike, just to offer the best buyers and the … future motorcyclists. We start from the thruster, a single cylinder from 124.8 cc four-stroke electronic injection and liquid cooling. The distribution is double overhead cam, DOHC (Doble Over Head Camshaft), and the odds of life are of 58 x 47 mm. To feed the little engine, we think that the injection of Magneti Marelli “move” around the 130 Kg the bike. The muffler is located below the hull in order to centralize mass and the rate is six-speed.
As for the chassis have a perimeter frame made of aluminum alloy die-cast beams with cross-ribbing reinforcement that “works” in harmony with a upside-down 41 mm front and a asymmetrical swingarm with the rear shock. A “stop” the motion of two disks Noale we think: we have a front 300 mm disc “bite” from a radial caliper fixed, and behind a 218 mm single disc with single piston caliper. The tires see the following sizes: 110/80-17 “front and 130/70-17 at the rear, while the tank is 14.5 liters.
As you can see from the pictures is the same as the older sister, the RSV4 FactoryThis is also to offer youngsters the chance to ride a bike “large”. The available colors are three: black, white and Biaggi Replica. The hulls were designed in a wind tunnel, and the family feeling is very clear with the RSV4. Even here we have the three lights at the front, and the tail has a LED light. These cars can be simply turning it 180 degrees. Aprilia has also thought of those who want to approach the runway, and in fact the indicators are removable with just two bolts. Aprilia has also thought of several options such as the largest dome, the plates to remove the mirrors and footpegs, and more.
What fun!
We would love to go boys, and have those 15 years, that age where you’re careless, and when you think about what motorcycle appears from their parents for promotion, because in a few months you will have the pink sheet! We are in the circuit Vairano of VidigulfoAnd the bike is there waiting for us in the pits. We dressed like the “big”, with the leather suit, boots, back protector (which should never miss!) And we approach the RS4. The bike is really well done, the plastics are quality, Everything is taken care of, and the only two things that leave a little ‘something to be desired are little hidden wires of indicators and lights behind the windshield, and the front brake master cylinder low quality. The rest is like the motion of the father or the uncle that runs on the track: knurled pegs, seat hard enough to “feel” the bike, and especially the leadership it reminds so much of the RSV4.
The engine comes to life by insisting on a little red button ignition, and starts to mutter sly. From instrumentation, Beautiful and readable look at the tachometer needle every time we turn up the throttle. We go on the track, and is just feeling. The RS4 is light, And using a minimum of force in the right left is fast. The engine gives his best, over 6,500 rpm instrument, and then “stop” at 11,000 rpm, at which the limiter intervenes. It should go to the next gear 500 turns the first of these, needless to go to “tweak” the red zone. Whereas its way is a eighth-liter four-stroke, of course, the view undertorque the cubic, is what it is, but the small mono refuses nothing and does his best.
The Cycling is well tuned, you can dare, make sure that the bike will respond evenly and without sharp reactions. Forgive when you enter a bit ‘too hard cornering, and suspensions not only filter out the bumps in excellent way, but provide good support more pronounced in the folds. Good brakesBoth modular and powerful the right to stop the motion of Noale. The mirrors tend to move a bit ‘, but to be on board a super offer good visibility (when not touching the high speeds, because at that point tremble a bit’ too).
Stone the gears one after the other thanks to Quick-Shift (change electronic Aprilia first mounted on a motorcycle 125, and has a cost of 90 € plus VAT) slow down, bend, force curve into inputs, then the flag Commissioner declares the end of the turn and into the pits. We smile under the helmet and more importantly, we had fun. But now we put our feet on the ground, because we can not go back to high school, and tomorrow we go to work, dammit.
On the other hand, we know what to buy our son a Aprilia RS4 125, because that is where it starts to become a motorcycle with the “M” “capital!
