Aprilia WSBK RSV4s unveiled

 
 

We love the Aprilia RSV4. It was probably the sexiest bike we've had the pleasure of in the last two years at least. So we can't help ourselves but post pics of Laverty and Biaggi's rides for this year.

Aprilia unveiled these two gorgeous machines in Milan on Tuesday the 7th of February. We can't wait to see if Laverty or Biaggi will prove quickest on the 2012 bike!

"Please Max, can we have a go?"
