In few months from now, another manufacturer will enter the indian two wheeler market. Aprilia part of piaggio group will roll out its superbike RSV4 in India. RSV4 1000cc engine would be the first offering by Aprilia in india which will be followed by lower displacement bikes like RS and RX. “The easiest way to introduce the Aprilia brand here is to start with sporty and even naked bikes. The next product could be a 125cc bike. We can develop these specifically for India or launch existing models such as the RS, SX and RX at a competitive price,” said Mr Umberto Basso, Aprilia Category Manager, 2 wheeler Product Marketing, Piaggio & C spa. Aprilia RSV4 is expected to be priced around Rs15 lakhs.
