RSV4 2011
Leaks from Aprilia hinting on Traction control, extra 8hp, and a new exhaust, but no news on ABS.
The RSV4 has very good breaks, but not having the option of an ABS system, puts it behind the BMW S1000RR and the Honda CBR1000RR.
A silly one
Aprilia ‘Table Cloth Trick” commercial was a nice one, but campaigning it is a very BAD idea.
WSBK Misano race highlights
A threesome for Max
Biaggi won both races today at Misano, he led form the middle in race one up to two thirds of the race when he decided to take the lead…in race two he managed to break away from the rest and was impossible to catch.
Race was fun, it was a fight between the titans, Biaggi 39, Corser 37, and Checa 40.
Corser on the BMW led 17 laps of race one, and gave us a nice show until he got tired.. thats when Biaggi Aprilia and Checa on the Ducati made their move.
Aprilia strikes back
Remember the S1000RR table trick video?
Here is Aprilia’s response
Haslam triumph in Kyalami
In Race one Fabrizio on the Ducati took an early lead and was having fun and kept us amused with his slides in and out of corners, it was like watching a stunt rider performing high speed stunts.
Although Fabrizio won race one of the Kyalami round, but the real worrier was Haslam on the Suzuki…he was the star of race one and two, battling against the rookies -Rea- and the geezers -Biaggi- he manged to snatch race two from Rea at the last lap, it was a prertty intense fight.
Manufacturers standings : SUZUKI 222, APRILIA 213, DUCATI 185.
Master Max
Yesterdays’ race at Monza was the best race of the season, Max Biggi shined from start to finish in both rounds.
Biggi was unstoppable, sliding into a corner and coming out of the same corner with a wheelie….got me glued to the TV for 36 laps.
Toseland on the R1 was the motivator for Max, he pushed Biggi to the limit but then he couldn’t keep up, in race two Crutchlow’s also gave Biggi a good run but his R1 broke down later on.
The race marked the first ever World Superbike podium for BMW, Xaus posted his best ever result for the team, with a sixth place in race one, and Troy Corser came third place from 12th on the grid in race two.
It was also a great race for Tom Sykes the Kawasaki man who gave Haga a hard time, and Haga couldn’t overtake him.
Nori is back
Haga shares Valencia with the Suzuki rider Leon Haslam, Biaggi was the fastest…he pushed the Aprila to its limit, but it seams it was not enough to win the race, and lost it to Haga in race two.

Biaggi doubling it up
Max Biaggi on the RSV4 Factory and Leon Haslam on the GSX-R gave us an exciting show on race one at Portimao, they continued part 2 of the show in race 2, leaving Haslam in second place at both races.
One would expect the RSV4 to be agile on the curves, but the Aprilia was faster than any other bike on the straights as well !! i never thought i would ever see a GSX-R takes the beating on the straights…
