Aprilia clarifies that there have been zero warranty claims related to the RSV4’s engine, and that “in line with the premium quality standards of Aprilia motorcycles and potential safety implications, the manufacturer and its dealerships are committed to immediate action to ensure complete Aprilia owner satisfaction.” Customers are advised to contact their local Aprilia U.S.A dealer, who will arrange complimentary transportation of the bike to the dealership.

Aprilia’s actions are honest and proactive– and I bring that up not just because I happen to think highly of the RSV Factory, but because this an attitude not always espoused by all manufacturers.

Pastrana’s latest on-screen opus is Nitro Circus Country Fried, the seventh iteration of his co-venture with Red Bull and DC Shoes that captures eye (and sometimes vertebra) popping stunts that make Jackass look like Masterpiece Theatre.

I caught up with the master of mayhem a couple months ago at the LA premiere of Nitro Circus Country Fried, where we chatted about cars versus bikes, what he rides in his spare time, and why Pastrana says “with age, get a cage.”

… but the Forty-Eight’s calling card is its styling, which features a low profile custom handlebar with under-mounted mirrors, chopped fenders with lightening holes, key blacked out components, and a 26 inch tall one-piece solo seat with an optional passenger seat, backrest, and/or pegs.

The release of this back-to-basics Sportster comes on the day Harley-Davidson has announced 2009’s fourth-quarter earnings, which we’ll cover in a separate post. In the meantime, enjoy this 2010 Harley-Davidson Sportster Forty-Eight Photo Gallery.
