The Aprilia RSV4 is a super bike manufactured by Aprilia. The RSV4 is Aprilia's flagship model. Aprilia offers two models of the bike: the RSV4 Factory and RSV4 R limited edition (only 350). For 2016 it is offered in two models the RSV4 RR and RSV4 RF. The 2016 updated bike was made to take advantage of and comply with that year's Superbike rules which allow fewer modifications for production bikes. It has more power, is lighter, and has improved handling and electronics. Since 2021 the bike is offered in two models, too: RSV4 1100 and RSV4 1100 Factory. Now it offers APRC system (Aprilia Performance Ride Control) that includes engine maps (AEM), engine brake control (AEB), traction control (ATC), wheelie control (AWC), launch control (ALC), cruise control (ACC), speed limiter (APT). 6 riding modes (3 Road, 3 Track) and is Euro 5 compliant.

The RSV4 1100 Factory is differentiated by Smart EC 2.0 electronically managed Öhlins NIX front fork, Öhlins TTX monoshock with Smart EC 2.0 electronically managed piggy-back rear shock and aluminum alloy forged, completely machined, 5-spoke wheels.

Production of the motorcycle began in 2008. The motorcycle was unveiled on 22 February 2008, at the International Piaggio Group Convention in Milan, Italy. It is powered by a 65-degree 999.6 cc (61 cu in) V-4 engine, the company's first production four-cylinder engine. Aprilia claims that the new engine was designed specifically for superbike racing and that the engine will produce over 200 horsepower (150 kW) in race configuration.

Since 2021 the engine's displacement has been increased to 1,099 cc, maximum power increased to 217 horsepower (162 kW) at 13,000 rpm and maximum torque to 92.19 ft-lbs (125 Nm) at 10,500 rpm.
