Like Red Bull, Aprilia can also give you wings, in the form of the RSV4 1100 Factory. Aprilia has taken MotoGP technology and applied it to the road-legal RSV4 1100, claiming the added downforce from the wings was first proven on its RS-GP MotoGP contender. Inside, the 1100 is actually packing a 1078cc V4 first seen in the Tuono 1100, but with several tweaks to up the performance factor. State-of-the-art electronics centered around a six-axis IMU provide one of the most sophisticated safety nets for any rider to explore their personal limits. Despite the general RSV4 platform being a decade old, the RSV4 1100 is proof that a solid design can withstand the test of time with only minor revisions.

If you like the mental capabilities of the RSV4 1100 but prefer a slightly more relaxed riding position, the Tuono V4 1100 is calling your name. One of Motorcycle.com’s favorite motorcycles, the Tuono never fails to put a smile on our face every time we ride it. The V4 sound, grunt, and character continually have us twisting the grip, while the RSV4-based handling is as sweet as you’d expect from such a capable superbike. Like the RSV4, the Tuono has been around for some time, but only little changes are all that have been needed to keep the bike at or near the front of the pack, year after year.

Aprilia’s Shiver 900 is a sensible naked bike for those who don’t need or want the ferocity the Tuono V4 delivers. Powered by a 896cc V-Twin, it delivers plenty of power but in a more relaxed and mild-mannered overall package compared to the two models above. It often gets lost in the sea of motorcycles competing in this space, but it’s a solid choice for someone looking for one motorcycle to do a little bit of everything.
