Aprilia Australia press release:

Aprilia's RCV4 Factory will be here in July for $31,198 + orc

John Sample Automotive (JSA), Australian importer of Aprilia motorcycles, has today announced that the new Aprilia RSV4 Factory Superbike will arrive in Australia in July 2009 and will sell for a recommended retail price of $31,198 plus on the road costs.

Aprilia’s National Manager, Kris Matich, said, “the RSV4 Factory is a motorcycle that our customers have long been waiting for. But the wait has been worth it when you see the bike in the flesh. The RSV4 Factory is brimming with technology and the highest quality components and represents great value for the very latest in state-of-the-art European technology and performance.”

The RSV4 Superbike, which is the race version of the RSV4 Factory has certainly proved more than competitive in the first two rounds of the World Superbike Championship recording front row qualifying positions, and, in Qatar, a top speed of over 317kph to go with its podium finishes in both races.

Matich continued, “The RSV4 is a very much in demand motorcycle within the Aprilia world and we may struggle to get all the bikes we need for our customers in Australia. However, that won’t stop us from celebrating this very important new motorcycle for Aprilia, so we have put together a special pre-order program for those customers that place firm orders for a RSV4 Factory with their Aprilia dealer before the end of May called the “Pole Position Factory Rider Package.”

Eligible RSV4 Factory customers will be given, completely free of charge with their new RSV4 Factory superbike, a unique promotional package including a Track Day program, a new set of Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP tyres, an Agip Lubricants package, Aprilia accessories including a race stand and cover amongst other goodies valued at nearly $2,000.
