On Monday we brought you a flying lap of Auto Club Speedway aboard the 2016 Kawasaki ZX-10R (http://www.motorcycle.com/features/a-lap-of-auto-club-speedway-aboard-the-2016-kawasaki-zx-10r.html), the runner-up in our two-way fight between it and the Aprilia RSV4 RR (which you can read about here (http://www.motorcycle.com/shoot-outs/the-17000-superbike-faceoff)). We praised the Kawasaki’s handling prowess and were really impressed with its updated electronics. However, we still gave the overall win in the comparison test to the Aprilia by the sheer fact it’s so easy to ride quickly. The V-4 engine’s wonderful, distinctive growl down low, combined with its pissed off bark up top encourages its rider to want to twist that throttle every chance they get. Luckily for us, that engine also produces abundant, usable torque throughout its rev range – a feature that helped it win our comparo.
The other feature tipping the scales in the Aprilia’s favor is its sublime chassis, its stability and flickability simply magical. We loved flogging the RSV4 RR, and here’s a lap of Auto Club Speedway aboard the Italian rocket of us doing exactly that.
