I agree with the other comments regarding models (like Ducati does it, and how Yamaha has started to do it). Have a base model, then an R/S/M/etc model that is upgraded with race-worthy parts.

I would MUCH rather OEMs do that, rather than put fake-ass, non-race quality parts on every bike for marketing purposes (ie the "Brembo" calipers on the Gixxers). If you are going to put Ohlins, Brembo, etc on the bikes, then have a race homologation model and put the real shit on there . Rather than putting some dumbed down version on every model just so you can say your bike has Brembo Calipers.

Have a base model with Showa/Sachs/etc suspension, Nissin calipers and MC, cast wheels, no quickshifter, rubber brake lines, no carbon fiber, so on and so forth. Then have an upgraded model with race-worthy components.

Still no definitive word on them killing the 600RR though. Although I have no hope for new development.

Wow. I honestly didn't think it was possible for the RSV4 to ever be anything but the most beautiful bike made. Until now.

The Aprilia package includes the team for a day...at the track!
That's worth the price of admission.

BTW, how much is it?
