Max Biaggi DESTROYED Me on the $150K Aprilia X-GP (My POV) 7 FULL LAPS!

𝟳 𝗟𝗔𝗣𝗦! 𝟭𝟬𝟬% 𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗢𝗧𝗧𝗟𝗘 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗦𝗩𝟰 𝗫-𝗚𝗣!! 🚀

🔊 VOLUME UP for the raw sound of the Aprilia RSV4 X-GP!

One of only 30 Aprilia RSV4 X-GPs on Earth. Laguna Seca. Full send.

Lap 3, Max Biaggi catches me. He’s not even on the X-GP. He’s on a stock Aprilia RSV4 1100 🤩, Sacha’s bike @Duc.Sausage . Then he plays with me for the rest of the session.

This was the most exhilarating two wheeled experience of my life. I think it shows in this footage.

My friend Alexander asked me how it felt to ride the bike. My answer: “I was inhaling the future.” Here’s what I meant. Exit Turn 4 at Laguna Seca, open the throttle all the way, take one breath in. By the time you’re done inhaling, you’re already at the braking point for Turn 5. Insane.

It wasn’t my bike, and it’s worth OVER $150,000, so I took it easy. Told myself I’d cap it at 80%. Even at 80%, I went faster around Laguna Seca than I ever have on any bike. The X-GP feels lighter than its claimed 365 lbs and was ultra stable everywhere, except the couple times I unsettled it shifting 2nd to 3rd or 3rd to 4th, where the quickshifter occasionally wouldn’t work. A minor adjustment to the switch fixed it. 👌🏼

What a bike! The X-GP originally sold for around $120,000, if you were lucky enough to get allocated one. It’s now worth well over $150,000. Still a bargain in my opinion.

Talking about price; I have to compare that to the new Ducati V4 SL Centenario. Beautiful bike, but to me it’s still a Panigale wearing a lot of very cool carbon fiber. The X-GP isn’t a dressed up RSV4. It’s a true MotoGP replica. It doesn’t look like a street bike, it looks like an RS-GP, and it rides like an absolute rocket. Only 30 exist worldwide, compared to 500 units of the Centenario at $165K each.

That’s the value of branding for you. Make of that what you will. But in my opinion, the Aprilia RSV4 X-GP is the best motorcycle ever offered to the public. Prove me wrong…

𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗬 𝗧𝗨𝗡𝗘𝗗 for more from this day, including me riding my own 2026 RSV4 1100 with Max Biaggi flying by us multiple times, this time HE is on the X-GP, the first time anyone riding the bike!
