APRILIA RSV 1000 R Factory (2006-2007) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Aprilia RSV 1000 R was a sports machine manufactured by Aprilia in 2004. It replaced the RSV Mille and continued production until 2010 when it was replaced by the Aprilia RSV4. It was delivered in three versions: the RSV 1000 R standard version, the higher-spec RSV 1000 Factory, and the limited edition RSV 1000 R Nera.

In 2006, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Aprilia RSV 1000 R Factory, which, compared to the base model, was a higher specification version fitted with ultra-light materials and the world's best production components.

It was equipped with a fully adjustable Ohlins fork on the front, a fully adjustable monoshock on the rear, an adjustable Ohlins damper as standard, forged aluminum wheels, a rider seat with non-slip racing upholstery, a matte black-finished frame, and several carbon fiber body components.

Aesthetically, the bike had an aggressive design, dressed in a full fairing with dual headlights and a medium-sized windscreen, a single seat, a two-into-one exhaust system with an up-swept silencer on each side, a ten-spoke rear wheel, and a 12-spoke front wheel.

In the power department, the 2006 Aprilia RSV 1000 R Factory boasted 139 hp with a peak force at 9,500 rpm and 107 Nm (79 lb-ft) torque at 7,500 rpm, coming from a 998cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V-twin engine installed underneath its clothes.
