Aprilia RSV4 Price: New, Used & Ownership Costs

Updated  4 sources

Starting MSRP

$19,699

The RSV4 is Aprilia's flagship superbike, a V4 powered, race derived machine aimed at experienced riders and track day regulars. It sits at the premium end of the supersport class, alongside the top models from Ducati, BMW, and the Japanese brands. Buyers usually pick it for how it rides and sounds, and they accept that it is an expensive and demanding motorcycle.

The decision inside the family is between the standard RSV4 1100 and the Factory version.

The 2026 RSV4 1100 lists at $19,699, and the RSV4 Factory 1100 lists at $26,749. The figures come from Motorcycle.com and Motorcycle.com. Those pages do not show a publication date, so ask an Aprilia dealer to confirm what the current bike costs.

The Factory model traditionally adds premium suspension, wheels, and electronics over the standard bike, which accounts for the price difference. If you only ride on the street, the standard bike may deliver most of what you need. If you track the bike or want the highest spec, the Factory is the one to look at.

Do 2027 prices differ?

The 2027 model year listings match the 2026 prices for both versions.

If you are comparing a leftover 2026 with a 2027, the sticker prices appear the same, so any difference will come from dealer incentives and from the changes Aprilia makes to each model year.

What sits on top of the sticker price

The published MSRP is not the final bill. Add:

  • Freight and setup. The spec pages do not list an Aprilia destination figure, so get it from the dealer in writing.
  • Dealer documentation fees, which vary by state and shop.
  • Sales tax, title, and registration.
  • Accessories and protective parts. Superbike buyers often add frame sliders, a tail tidy, and a track stand.

Ownership costs for a superbike

A V4 superbike costs more to maintain than a mainstream sportbike. Service intervals, tire choices, and brake wear all push running costs higher, and an Aprilia dealer visit can mean a long drive in some areas. Ask the dealer for a service schedule and typical costs before you buy.

Insurance is often the largest surprise. Many insurers rate large sportbikes steeply, and the quote depends on your age, record, and location. Get quotes on both versions.

Is it practical?

Not very, and it is not meant to be. The riding position is aggressive, the seat is not built for long distances, and the bike is more at home on twisty roads or a track. If you want sport performance with more comfort, look at other classes of motorcycle.

Questions to ask before you sign

  • Which version is on the lot, and what equipment does it include?
  • What are freight, setup, and documentation fees, listed separately?
  • Is any accessory or protection package bundled into the quoted price?
  • What does the warranty cover, and where is the nearest authorized service center?
  • Does the dealer offer a break in service, and is it included?

Written answers to these let you compare two quotes honestly, and they flag add ons that inflate a price.

Used RSV4 pricing

Used RSV4s can be a way to save money, and condition matters a great deal. Look at mileage, service history, track use, and any crash damage. Compare several recent listings and a valuation guide instead of relying on one asking price.

Markups and discounts

Prices at individual dealers can sit above or below the published MSRP depending on demand and stock. Dealer discounts and markups vary, so request quotes from more than one shop.
