Aprilia tested their 2009 RSV4 Superbike at Valencia today.

New WSBK recruit Shinya Nakano rode the Aprilia V4 machine. He lapped at 1:35.3.

Tomorrow the Italian papers will be filled with the news that 250 champ Marco Simoncelli also rode the Aprilia.

Nakano brings his MotoGP form to WSBK on the Aprilia for '09.

Simoncelli brought his wall of hair to the Aprilia test. This helmet somehow compressed his mane into something manageable.

Marco Simoncelli lapped at 1:36.3.

The horsepower goal for the factory RSV4 is 215 horsepower.

An Italian on an Italian bike. Let the Latin-based swooning begin.
