A great deal for lovers of exotic sportbikes, the RSV 1000 R has the features that such enthusiasts crave. The 143-horsepower, 60-degreee V-Twin is counterbalanced for smooth running, with a ram-air intake system said to improve the bike’s already stout top-end power by three percent. The chassis includes a titanium-nitride-coated Ohlins fork, a Sachs shock and radial-mount front brake calipers. Also available: For uncompromising track purists, the Factory version uses an Ohlins shock and steering clamper, forged aluminum rims and a different paint scheme.
