New MCN May 20: Aprilia RSV4 vs Yamaha R1 on the road

In this week’s issue of MCN we test the all-new Aprilia RSV4 against the class-leading Yamaha R1, to see which bike comes out on top on the road.

The new V4 superbike from the Italian firm has been at the front in all WSB races straight out of the box, but does that mean it will be able to fight off the equally impressive Yamaha R1 on the roads?
