Introduced 1995Aprilia’s corporate history places the RS 250’s road-bike debut in 1995. It’s a compact, fully faired two-stroke built around a 90-degree V-twin and an aluminium twin-beam chassis, and visually it sits close enough to Aprilia’s racing world to look like a miniature Grand Prix machine.
Introduced 2020Aprilia unveiled the RS 660 at EICMA in November 2019 and put the road bike into production in 2020. The idea was straightforward: give a middleweight sports bike an aluminium twin-spar chassis, serious brakes and a level of electronics more familiar on bigger machines, then build it around a compact 659 cc parallel twin.
Introduced 1998The Aprilia RSV Mille is where Aprilia stepped into the large-capacity superbike market in 1998. The simple part ends there, because the name covers several years of development.
Introduced 2009Aprilia introduced the RSV4 in 2009, but the name has covered enough change since then that one timeless specification is asking for trouble. The family moved through 1000 cc, APRC, RR/RF, 1100 Factory and then the current 1,099 cc phase.
Introduced 2011The Aprilia Tuono V4 takes Aprilia’s compact V4 performance platform into a high-handlebar road bike, and it has done so as a model family since 2011. The name has moved through several technical phases since then.
Introduced 1988The Tricolore paint is the part everyone sees first. Underneath it, the Ducati 851 was the first road-going generation built around the 851 cc Desmoquattro: liquid cooling, four valves per cylinder, desmodromic valve control and electronic fuel injection.
Introduced 1994The Ducati 916 is easy to recognise and surprisingly easy to mis-specify. Ducati unveiled Tamburini’s design at the Milan Motorcycle Show in October 1993 and put the road superbike into production in 1994.
Introduced 2008The Ducati Desmosedici RR brought MotoGP-developed architecture into a limited-production road motorcycle, but the distinction between road and race still matters. Ducati’s own Heritage index classifies the RR as a road model and lists the Desmosedici GP race machines separately.
Introduced 1993The Ducati Monster 900 was the first production Monster, and the idea was almost disarmingly simple: expose the motorcycle rather than hide it. Ducati showed the prototype at Cologne in October 1992 and put the 900 cc version into production in 1993, combining a stripped-back layout with a 904 cc air/oil-cooled twin and tubular trellis chassis.
Introduced 2018The Ducati Panigale V4 is Ducati’s 1,103 cc flagship road superbike, but the badge now covers several generations and a long list of adjacent versions. Here, Panigale V4 means the standard UK/EU MY25 motorcycle: the seventh-generation bike unveiled in July 2024.
Introduced 2012The 2026 MV Agusta Brutale 800 is the 798 cc three-cylinder side of MV Agusta’s naked-bike range. The numbers are serious enough on their own: 83 kW (113 hp) at 11,000 rpm at the crankshaft, 85 Nm at 7,500 rpm and a cassette-style six-speed constant-mesh gearbox.
Introduced 2021The 2026 MV Agusta F3 RR puts 108 kW (147 hp) at 13,000 rpm and 88 Nm at 10,100 rpm into a 798 cc three-cylinder supersport. That engine sits with a cassette-style six-speed gearbox, Marzocchi and Sachs suspension, Brembo Stylema front callipers and a winged aerodynamic body package in the MY26 specification.
