Aprilia have just announced a special edition version of the RSV4 Factory for the north American market to celebrate its victory at the 2012 WSBK Championships. The company made this announcement on its official Facebook page. The standard trim of the Aprilia RSV4 Factory by itself is a marvel of engineering. The Special edition features a state-of-the-art Bosch 3 level ABS, new Brembo M430 front callipers and front brake master cylinder, refined Aprilia Traction Control and map 1 Aprilia Wheelie Control for racing use, revised engine positioning inside the chassis to ensure ideal weight distribution, increased performance exhaust, optimized engine, friction reduction, improved crankcase ventilation, a new 200/55-17 rear tire and a tank design that is similar in design to the bikes that race at the WSBK Championships. Other changes include a larger fuel tank, reduced seat height and a satin headlight finish. Power now lies at 181.4 HP at the crank and 117NM of peak torque @ 10,500 RPM. The pricing of the Aprilia RSV4 Factory Special Edition will be announced on February 1.
