A round-up of this week's motorcycle news
A quiet concept from Honda V4
Honda unveiled its V4 sports bike concept at the Cologne Motorcycle Show last week. There's little information available on any of the technology inside the bike, other than the new V4 engine. It has been developed to mark 30 years of the Honda V4 engine configuration.
Aprilia goes revolutionary
Aprilia has launched its new RSV4 superbike, featuring the most revolutionary and powerful engine developed by Aprilia, the RSV4. The 65-degree V-twin four-unit engine uses multimapping ride-by-wire technology, a solution that opens up new horizons in engine control.
The narrow V-four engine configuration ensures maximum power of 180hp at 12,500rpm. A six-speed cassette-type gearbox, traction control and a slipper clutch are also standard.
Components include: Öhlins forks, rear monoshock and steering damper, Brembo monobloc brake callipers and forged aluminium wheels.
