Aprilia RSV-R Nera 1 of 200

I know, you're probably thinking who cares it's just another stupid, slow, inferior, Italian bike. But this thing is special, and it ooozes badass from every nut and bolt. Most of which are magnesium, titanium, and other rare shit. This was one of the bikes in Aprilia's Dream Series. Came with a tailor made suit, helmet, private flight to the next MotoGP race with VIP treatment, and a tour of Aprilia's factory. I think the base price was $40,000!

"The 2004 RSV 1000 Nera takes the technical superiority of the new RSV 1000 Factory even further. Exclusive upgrades include full carbon bodywork, including the fuel cell, magnesium wheels, and hand-massaged cylinder heads, all of which contribute to creating the lightest, quickest and most confidence inspiring motorcycle in the world. The standard full race exhaust system is also guaranteed to stir the soul of the European motorcycle enthusiast, as well as bring the 137-bhp V990 Magnesium engine to peak performance. Other technical innovations, such as the air-runner intake, ultra-rigid frame and top-shelf Öhlins suspension components are complemented by the exclusive use of exotic materials."

"The Nera not only arrives standard with a full arsenal of design and engineering innovations, but such unique rewards as a trip to the 2004 Brazilian Grand Prix and private dinners with Aprilia’s racing team and GP factory racers. The price for the RSV 1000 Nera is $40,000, and enthusiasts can order their edition exclusively online."

"The Nera ownership experience starts the moment customers reserve their motorcycle. An assigned personal concierge from Aprilia’s Noale, Italy world headquarters not only manages order through U.S. delivery, but assists with the fitment of limited custom-made Dainese leathers—equipped with Titanium at key points of contact. Nera owners also receive the first edition of a new Aprilia helmet and Aprilia performance gloves, as well as an executive desk model of the bike. Other immediate benefits include a limited edition photo book celebrating the Aprilia tradition of performance, a certificate of ownership signed by company president Ivano Beggio, an exclusive video and a Dream Card used to access private services available only to Nera owners.

Being a member of the exclusive Nera owner’s club also offers plenty of opportunities to share the camaraderie of Aprilia ownership with other aficionados. All 200 Nera owners will be invited to a Grand Prix race on their continent (or bordering continent where applicable) for a true behind the scenes look at the astonishing technical and performance environment of a modern GP paddock. U.S. customers will be flown to the 2004 Rio Grand Prix in Brazil scheduled for the weekend of July 31 at the famed Nelson Piquet circuit. Upon arrival, the Nera owner and guest will receive full accommodations and full paddock access, including team gear and passes. The owner and guest will be invited to join the team for dinners and a personal meeting with the GP pilots.

The unique benefits of ownership extend to Italy, where owners have access to privately escorted tours of the Noale offices, race shop, and the Scorze factory. "

[gixxie750]

i kind of like them,but for the price i could buy at least 4 GSXRs and all of them will be faster....

[NightRider]

Yep. Bike looks nice...but not anywhere nice enough for 19k. Good lord. Do you get dinner after that ass raping?

[yotaman88210]

ultra-rigid frame and top-shelf Öhlins suspension "

Thats not top self Ohlins anymore

Very cool bike, but im with dubguy... A 1098R would dust this. Hell an 09 1198S would blow it away and you could buy it brand new basically for that price... BUt i know... its a special bike!

[natedogg624]

why would they send you to a motoGP event when there aren't any aprilia's that run that series...

Check out the MV F4CC ... that may have enough for you

[repsol2007]

Bike is awesome. Economy may make it hard to move but overall it is a good value for what you get. You couldn't put thoose components on any other bike for that money!

[Mr Anderson]

I like the bike but I would never buy it.

[walther_gsp]

[jbot]

mmm... nera.

[RSVDon]

You could buy 4 Gixxers for that money.. but it'd be ghey. That Ape is schweet. I rode Jbot's before he decided he didn't like it and rode it off a cliff. It was so good I had to smoke a cigarette when we got to our destination. No joke..

Bwahahahahaha' date=' that's awesome.

mmm... nera.

Yeah, you know what I'm talkin' about. You're one of the few. Who cares if you can buy 4 gixxers for the same price.

[DGTL GRL]

I love me some carbon fiber!

[nochknstrps]

sweet lookin bike but if I had the money I'd just wait for the RSV4

[RFM]

Four gixxer's would be just that. Four gixxers....

Care to guess which one will get more nods at a bike night, or the front straight at Mid Ohio? Just sayin...

[RSVDon]

sweet lookin bike but if I had the money I'd just wait for the RSV4

Ooo, you got me there. It'd be a hard choice for me. But I may end up going with the Nera, then once the RSV4 is cheaper (because it'll still be around) I'd pick one up.

The Nera for me is just too rare and too exclusive to pass up if I had the money.
