Video: Aprilia RSV4 ridden on the road

The stunning new Aprilia RSV4 superbike is ridden on the road for the first time in a 415-mile trip from the Aprilia factory to Cannes and Monaco. Watch the video to see how it got on – is it as good on road as it is on track?   

• MCN Aprilia RSV4 bike review

MCN road tester Michael Neeves threw everything at the RSV4 – wet motorway miles, town work and hard scratching on the amazing roads in Southern France. “Near Cannes it’s dry and sunny, so I finally get to lean the RSV4 over after 374 miles of riding.

“The Aprilia is glorious. It’s agile, grippy and the brakes are incredible. I love the looks, the engineering, the noise, aggression and attitude.”
