from motorcycle news:

Aprilia's forthcoming V4-engined superbike broke cover this week at the Jerez circuit in Spain, with test rider Alex Hoffman at the controls.

The new machine took to the track during a test session for Aprilia's 125cc and 250cc GP bikes, only lapping during breaks in the GP test caused by rain at the track.

I guess if you can afford to buy the new v4 then servicing costs will be the least your worried about :eatcorn
