In the world of motorcycling and sports bikes, to mention the Aprilia RSV1000 is to take enthusiasts back to a bygone era – and, for many, a better one. This was the superbike that dared to challenge the Japanese giants with its Rotax twin-cylinder engine, innovative frame and pure racing DNA. If you’re nostalgic for this name, there’s good news: Aprilia may be preparing a comeback.

The Italian brand stopped making the RSV1000 about a decade ago, replacing it with the current RSV4. However, the Piaggio group recently submitted an application to register the RSV1000 trademark in the United States, guaranteeing the rights to the name until 2025. Although there are no concrete details yet, this move suggests that Aprilia may be planning to relaunch one of its most iconic models.

In recent years, sports bikes have experienced a real renaissance. Examples such as the new Ducati Panigale V2 or the Yamaha YZF-R9 demonstrate the tendency of brands to balance cost, performance and usability. Many of these new proposals seek to fill the space left by older models, and the RSV1000 could fit into that same concept for Aprilia.

Currently, the brand doesn’t have an intermediate motorbike between the RS660 (105 hp) and the RSV4 (220 hp), leaving a clear gap in its range. The registration of the RSV1000 could indicate an intention to fill this gap by offering a twin-cylinder superbike with a displacement between 900 and 1000 cc, controlled power and a more affordable price – a similar approach to Ducati’s Panigale V2.

The last generation RSV1000 disappeared due to stricter environmental regulations, with Aprilia choosing not to update it and focus on the RSV4. However, market conditions have changed, and the brand may now need a more restrained model capable of attracting less experienced riders and offering a competitive alternative.

Another, more long-term possibility is a possible return for Aprilia to the World Superbike Championship (WSBK), where it has won victories in the past. The head of Aprilia Racing, Massimo Rivola, has already expressed interest in returning to the competition, as long as the homologated bikes were more affordable, in an allusion to superstock.

With the new MotoGP regulations scheduled for 2027, this could be the ideal time to develop a bike that serves both the market and competition. For now, it’s all guesswork, but the registration of the RSV1000 name is a fact – and could be the harbinger of a long-awaited comeback.
