I just picked up a 2012 RSV4 with a Werkes exhaust and I absolutely love it, almost as much as my R1.
Beautiful Bike brother. It competes right up there with my BMW S1000RR.

BMW can match performance, but not the sound or style
Thanks for taking us along for the ride! Wish you many happy adventures.
I could listen to that gorgeous sound all day!!!!
Been working on a house outside all day for the last few day and keep hearing a v4 I'm sure. Haven't caught a glimpse yet but I'm almost sure it's an RSV4. Such a beautiful sound!
Great looking bike and I love the custom work you've done! The RSV4 is one of my dream bikes, congrats.
Sounds brilliant. I have the same exhaust on my 2017 Yamaha R1. Very loud and aggressive sound. Love it!
Amazing bike, Bro! Love that sound!!
I've just discovered your channel. Watched a pile of content. What absolute top quality. As for your Aprilia - speechless OMG.

Hey Dave, thanks for the great comments. Welcome aboard, thanks so much for your support and hope you enjoy the ride. Love having you on board. MP
Congrats on the new machine moto super great bike!
Great Vid Moto Pilot. Really enjoying your work. Cool modifications on your bike. It looks great. I have a new 17' Tuono. I use it much the same way as you do. The higher revs are almost unusable on a public road without the fear of your license bursting into flames!
Damn you Moto Pilot... you are gonna cost me so much money, I want rsv4 in my garage right next to my 600 and 750 towering over them both. Great videos brotha ✌️
Keep the RSV4 videos coming, love the way you modded it. Very tastefully executed! Looks like you're in SoCal maybe I'll run into you one day!
that sound is sick. great bike man
love what you've been doing with your channel. keep it up bro
Your Bike looks incredible man !
Sir...I really like the color choices made. I really like the new look. It still has that "pilot" feel. Good work and be safe.
Love that sound! Beautiful bike!
Love this awesome sound dude. Very nice bike! 😎✌️
This was one fookin epic vid man =)
Great vid man....Just bought a 2013 RSV4 Factory myself, and am looking to replace the cheesy looking Leo Vince pipe it currently has, with a CW pipe as well....Been looking for full length ride vids that really show what the pipe sounds like under "real world" riding conditions...A big plus was that you're running the db killer.....I wanted to hear what it sounds like with that installed, as that's probably how I'll run mine most of the time. Keep up the good work! ;)
Very nice upgrades, bravo. Best bike atm, maybe Tuono. The 1100 next year...daunting!
One of the best custom mods that I have seen!
I have a 2014 RSV4 Factory and I painted the wheels red. It can be tricky powder coating sports bike wheels, especially if they're forged. The powder coaters oven runs around 500 degrees. If they do not accurately control the oven's temperature, you could get into a temperature range that will 'anneal' the wheel and metallurgically damage it. Possibly resulting in failure. The RR's wheels are cast, so it's less susceptible to potential damage, but it's worth a google. Nice bike! Love mine
In regards to gearing... A buddy of mine wanted to go up 2t on the rear of his '14 RSV4 and I had just changed the chain and gearing on the rear sprocket on my Shiver. I ended up giving him my stock 44t rear and he said the change was exactly what he needed. The great thing about Aprilia is the parts interchangeability is fantastic. Until very, very recently, their mid-to-high output bikes have tended to share any parts that aren't performance specific, like chains, sprockets, cush drive, rotors, etc... I put a set of Tuono V4R forks with Brembo calipers on the front of my Shiver and it all bolted right up, aside now having to take the fender off to put it on a headlift stand since the front end is a bit shorter. Does give faster turn in, though.
I'm starting to like that sound My first bike was ban 84 interceptor 750 with a wolf header and kerker exhaust, it sounded like a CR 500, lots of tickets on that bike!!!!!

Two years of ownership, and I still have a work of art. Nothing needs upgrading but gonna do exhaust cuz warranty is over... Ha Ha... Italian warranty?🤔😂🤣 But really they did fix stuff, like my horn needed connecting. I💌my RSV4 RF. Been to Autobahn CC raceway for labor day weekend for two years. Damn this is life! Grattan raceway 1 lap sub 1:50. Not bad for a 57 year old... See: kzread.info/dash/bejne/f4SOl7KNqJqno9Y.html

Awesome ride u got there! Quick question...u mentioned Ebay when talking about ur levers. Can u tell me who makes em? Thanks in advance and take care!
Love that bike. Looks killer.
Its gonna be my next bike once i had done on my supersport. It roars !
Do a vid on the rsv4 triple headlights function like high and low beam modes
Love this bike and this look
nice review I f all goes okay it ll be my next bike this year , best seating position of all the 1000. s. I. m 1,85 cm Coming of a tuned zx6 r , i ll still miss the high rev haul /boost a bit I reckon .
beautiful bike man love it
That bike is absolutely gorgeous bravo 👌🏻👌🏻
sick helmet man , love new bike
Looks great. I agree about the gearing. I changed mine to a 15 tooth sprocket and it made things just like you want. Wheelies a little easier too.

2013 RSV4 Factory. It was a real pain to get around in any traffic. Changing the 16 T counter sprocket to a 15 T changed it enough to make things good. It won't do 180 with that gear but you'll like it.

Also, I installe a full akrapovic exhaust and opened up the race map. That made things much smoother....better.
Hey brother nice video. I’m hopefully about to get my hands on my very first Rsv4. I’m coming off a Z650 naked bike. How would you say the transition was between the naked and your Aprilia?
Awesome video. Aprilia is beasting lately. but DAMN, look at those chicken strips. Don't like taking corners? Or are those brand new shoes?
Brilliant bike, great video, more exaust sounds!

Can you put a slip on exhaust without losing performance, just got the 17 rr they said don't do that until I get the racing ecu that's alot
try the gp shift conversion, I did it on my rf ,These bikes are amazing,
Can you put the link for the levers?. They look awesome man!
R- for race or road? T- track and S for sports ?
I'd definitely put the gp pipe on!

Yeah I sent them videos and everything and they said I didn't know how to install it. I've done valve adjustments and everything to do with a bike so I know I'm not crazy haha I even had friends try to install it on and it won't fit. Did you ever flash your ECU? Get it done by Gabro Racing Team it changes the bike in so many different ways!
I like all the reasons you love the bike for, especially the sound and the frame, but the quality control and maintenance can be painful compared to a Kawi, Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha. My friend had an Aprilia about 6 years ago, and after 4 years had endless problems. He decided to get rid of it. I hope you have better luck with long term ownership.
You need to go do a track day after you break it in, you'll love it! I'm going this weekend to do my mine on my 2017 Kawasaki ZX-10R!

Very nice bike, what brand of levers did you get that was from ebay?
Just discovered ur channel! Its awesome! 2 Thumbs up on ur bike. Looks great n sounds great. I had a Ducati Monster M900 with full Termignoni Pipes, that thing woke the dead! This bike sounds like a T-Rex. Its my next bike for sure. Also i like ur riding style, similar to mine, quick burst here n there when its clear ahead, im not great at corners but i guess thats why i aint fallen yet in 13 years of riding. Also free revving the bike between gears just to hear it! Btw the Ducati monster M900 drinks gas like a Fish... i ran out of gas 3 times. Theres nongauge so im knocking on the side of the tank n looking into the gas tank before every ride. Nice vid keep it safe and keep em videos coming. P.S up a few teeth in the back would be great!!!

Hi Krish and welcome to my world. Funny you notice my free-revs between gears. Old habit I just noticed I do recently. For starters Im just going to drop one tooth on the front and see how that goes since I do a lot of freeway boring miles. Then maybe jump one tooth on the rear. The RSV4 does have a gas light but no gauge. My Suzuki 1000 gets 42mpg...the RSV4 only 31. Had a low fuel scare coming to work this morning actually. Whew! MP

MOTO PILOT Use your mic if you can plugged direct into the zoomh4 set it to 96khz 24bit, low cut on, comp/limiter to studio and set to 2channel. If it works like my zoom H2N you will get crystal clear in helmet audio and audio from outside the bike. Just in the process of uploading a video about it. You will not regret the audio change.
Very very beautifull bike !!!! (Design and sound ..!!!!)
Great bike buddy.. awesome color and stickers scheme, the sound of it makes goose bumps! The AGV helmet was also a perfect match ;) How did you mount the Gopro right in the middle by the way? \m/ Ride in peace bro

MP, all your additions are so tasteful. I don't know much about Aprilia bikes in general. Italian made right? Is this a rival bike to an R1-M? H2? What advantages does it have vs a Japanese made SS? Your gear is smooth too. Does the new helmet have led's? (very cool looking at night.) Thanks for educating me. Btw, I don't ride anymore, but I get the whole V4 unexplainable power thing. (My one and only bike was an off the floor V65 Sabre.) ☮️

Chuck Mastin Hey Chuck. The RSV4 isnt quite at the H2 power level. its somewhere between standard 1000s and the H2. MP
awesome bike, my wet dream bike :D just the stock gearing sucks compared to other 1000 cc, way too "top end" oriented, but I can see what Aprilia has tried to do with the rsv4 (track oriented bike)
this is a beautiful bike
Great review, bro. I have a 2017 Ninja 1000 and I'm contemplating trading it in for the 2018 RSV4 RR. It's a gorgeous bike. Does it generate a lot of heat? I know the Panigale V4S is notorious for running very hot.

Your dealer is correct
Akrapovic, Renthal and GiaMoto on mine! The best in upgrades
2:36 This is a shadow or badly welded frame?(left side)
You could adjust the sag it will drop the suspension down by 1.5"
I love riding on Cajalco!
Did you have any ECU work done to the bike to accommodate the exhaust system? I have a '17 RF and was told in order to put an aftermarket exhaust on it I needed the race ECU or it would throw codes.

Yeah. I just installed my Yoshi Alpha Titanium a few days ago and it gave me an engine light after the first few miles. Maybe they changed something between '16 and '17. I have the race ECU also, but can't get it installed for a few weeks. What did you do with the exhaust valve servo? Mines just tied up for now. Going to remove it completely soon.
Hey Moto Pilot...know that road well....used to go around Lake Matthews all the time down to the 15 long before there was much population that there is now. I live on the east coast now but took my RF around Palomar and 74 In Palm Desert last year....sure beats the days of the 84 Ninja and FJ11OOs...my 96 gixxer 750 was fairly sweet though but cannot compare w/ the modern stuff like our Aprilias.... if I make it out there again w/my RF I will try and give you a Shout out...nice customization by the way....Now you need to upgrade the suspension.!!!! if interested, I could sell you my RF rear as I upgraded to keep up w/the 17 model. CIAO!!!
I have that same pipe on my new Tuono factory and literally have to wear ear plugs! It’s definitely a cool looking pipe, but just to loud for me.
I have the same levers they are amazing

What is the proper break in for a 2016 RSV4 rr? I'm picking one up with less than 100 miles on it. Are there any factory restrictions like the s1000rr that dealer assistance is a must? I'm not a big fan of dealerships working on my vehicles.
