Aprilia RSV4 RR
No other superbike steers like it. A few years back we had 500cc GP legend Kevin Schwantz on a Bike test, with RSV4 v S1000RR v MV F4 1000, and Snetterton to ourselves. Our Kev frothed over the Aprilia, saying it was the one that handled like a Motogp bike. Experiencing this should cost £15,999, but Fowlers (0117 3709006) have one 2018-model bike, pre-reg on a 20-plate, for £12,699 – there are used examples fetching this much. Sure, it won’t quite be the very latest spec, but you really won’t notice.
