The color combinations aim to enhance the exclusive nature of prestigious materials such as carbon fiber, in contrast with the titanium finish of the street-legal Akrapovic exhaust terminal, the same color as the forged aluminium wheels. Eleven pounds is nothing to sneeze at in the Superbike world, especially when combined with the increased horsepower and torque output. Anything above 5 can be felt reducing power on hard drives, whereas 3 allows some wheelspin and sliding with the trend continuing in that direction. Sure, the previous generation would be hard pressed to receive criticisms from me in that regard, but this is a cut above. Approval, and any rates and terms provided, are based on credit worthiness. I have ridden a lot of high performance sports bikes over many years of racing and most recently testing street bikes. Akrapovič has been tapped to conduct the V4 symphony, and the exhaust was revised.

A development that even involved the design. The amount of fork coming through the triple clamps was a bit too much for track use and sub 1. Speaking of power, Aprilia claims 217 crankshaft hp 13,200 rpm and 122 nm 90 lb-ft of torque at 11,000 rpm. The fully developed electronics package remains the same. This is what it looks like to miss an apex by a country mile and still feel comfortable leaning over more to try and make up for it. So what does all this power and performance feel like on the race track? The internal componentry is radically different, as they should be since they have two different goals in mind.

The bump in displacement was achieved by increasing the bore from 78mm to 81mm. A development that even involved the design. The two engines are vastly different — so different, in fact, that Piero Soatti, Head of Body and Chassis Engineering states that, while the physical dimensions of the two engines are the same, they are quite different inside. As Magneti Marelli is a large company working with many other manufacturers, solely relying on them means developing, and then implementing change could take a long time. An all-new model is destined to come someday, but like displacement, age is nothing but a number. These increases were done to give it more oomph everywhere in the powerband, roughly a 10 percent improvement when comparing dyno charts to the 1000cc V4.

The steering inclination has been steepened using +3mm steering bushings on either end, effectively expanding the rake and shortening the wheelbase a tad. Those traits are live on with the revised motorcycle, but are altered slightly as the newfound power stresses the chassis more. The steering inclination was adjusted using +3mm bushings in the top and bottom, which has increased the rake slightly and shortened the wheelbase by 4mm. More laps to fine-tune the set-up — suspension, engine braking, riding position and ride height, if not the steering geometry or swingarm pivot position — would almost certainly have helped. Radial pump and steel-braided brake lines. Also, the front mudguard, side panels, and exhaust shield are made out of carbon fiber, saving precious ounces while also being quite dashing. Two piston cooling jets squirt oil onto the underside of the piston to help decrease temps, and a high-flow oil pump borrowed from the Tuono 1100 helps, well, pump that extra fluid.

Note the adjustable engine mount on the frame. Hard on the gas again and up through the gears to fourth then equally as hard on the binders. We use data about you for a number of purposes explained in the links below. The electronic injection system now uses a throttle valve support with a more aerodynamic profile in order to improve fluid-dynamic permeability. In fact, the Aprilia is the only superbike that allows the rider to adjust the engine position in the frame, the headstock angle, the swingarm pivot and the rear end height, naturally in addition to the fully adjustable suspension. I suspect that the designers of Mugello may have been moonlighting as rollercoaster engineers on the side or vice versa.

Those traits are very much alive and well, but with subtle revisions. The color combinations aim to enhance the exclusive nature of prestigious materials such as carbon, in contrast with the titanium finish of the street-legal Akrapovic exhaust terminal, the same color as the forged aluminum wheels. Still, feel is more than adequate. So how, then, does one improve upon a fan favorite? Just like a real racing bike. It acquired its first championship during its sophomore year of existence with Max Biaggi at the helm. On track the 1100 Factory is nothing short of sensational with more accuracy, composure grip and ground clearance than you know what to do with.

The color combinations aim to enhance the exclusive nature of prestigious materials such as carbon fiber, in contrast with the titanium finish of the street-legal Akrapovic exhaust terminal, the same color as the forged aluminium wheels. Aprilia punched the bore out to 81mm from 78mm, while maintaining the 52. The electronic injection system now uses a throttle valve support with a more aerodynamic profile in order to improve fluid-dynamic permeability. Now, the Factory seems to have marginally improved side-to-side transitioning capabilities and turn-in rates. To that end, the new Superbike sees an exclusive titanium Akrapovič slip-on exhaust, replete with a carbon heel-guard. My reference points are blurred. Out back, a stiffer swingarm along the yaw axis, ie.

Carry as much speed as you dare, but this is one of the most entertaining sections of the track. Front Brakes Front: Dual 330-mm diameter floating stainless steel disc with lightweight stainless-steel rotor and aluminum flange with 6 pins. Aprilia wanted to boast stability when at pace, and coming down from it. They are not race-replica cars, they are luxury cars that can go very fast on a racetrack. The reach to the bars is amicable, and the tank makes for a great anchor when cornering. The weight reduction and minor changes to the chassis geometry explain the subtle differences in handling on the 1100.
