Ah, Aprilia, the little Italian motorcycle brand that’s trying so hard to catch up. It’s almost like watching a puppy chase a butterfly, full of energy and enthusiasm but ultimately just out of reach. First, they come out with the RSV Mille, stylish and all, but oh so slightly outgunned by the big boys. Then, they pivot to the V4 engine and voilà! The RSV4 is born. But is it the real deal or just a well-packaged paper tiger? Let’s just say the V4 might be ‘as good as ever,’ but to most, it’s just a V4 trying to pass itself off as something special. And don’t even get me started on the Euro 5+ compliance – it’s like trying to dance the tango while wearing concrete boots. As for the 2025 RSV4, it’s a product of evolution, all right, but more of a ‘slow and steady wins the race’ evolution, not the kind that leaves the crowd cheering. It’s a motorcycle that’s all show and no go, with features stripped down like a teenager’s bedroom. In the world of motorcycles, Aprilia’s RSV4 is like a rockstar trying to be a DJ – it’s cool, but it’s missing that certain something. Now, if only they could figure out how to make it not a bit of a ‘buck for the buck’ joke.
