Rotax V Twin

I think i read it right that aprilia stopped using the rotax, but was it fitted to the GEN2 rsv and tuono before the V4 came out :smt017

Yes ..............................


All new Aprilia 4-strokes have Aprilia engines.

There are the 450/550 v-twins
There are the 750 90degree v-twins (Dorso / Shiver etc)
There's the 850 Mana auto-box
There are 1200 90 degree v-twins (Dorso)
Then, of course there are the RSV4 and TuonoV4 1litre V4s.

The deal with Rotax has ended - shame really given the quality of those engines
