    Raptors & Rockets RSV4 clay renderings

    Hi, I'm a newbie and can't get the hyperlink to post, but the following link has some clay renderings of the new RSV4 with both undertail and side mounted exhaust. Check it out by typing in the link. There are also some Shiver renderings.

    This is nice. I've always liked the underseat exhaust.

    Shanes......? what are you talking about?

    the lower of the two has the SXV frame + SXV engine.

    the V4 will have a tail section similar to the super-thin R1 of yesteryear.... not as depicted in the top picture. This is what I hear.

    Hopefully aprilia won't be stupid enough to bring a model of full V4 to EICMA.

    These renderings are designed to sell magazines and are more than likely based on conjecture... R&R posts these, or something very similar every other month...

    No rear brake foot peg?

    Yea, I see the peg but no rear brake. It would look better with the tail that's on the RSV. That's a classy taillight indicator setup.
