Aprilia RSW-2 500
The Aprilia RSW-2 500 (also known as the RSW 500) was a racing motorcycle made by Aprilia, which raced in the 500cc class of the Grand Prix motorcycle racing, starting from 1994 until 2000 (with an absence in 1998). == History == The chief designer of the Aprilia racing division, Jan Witteveen, made some comparative calculations between the cornering performance obtained in the MotoGP from the 500 and 250cc bikes and he found that the latter managed to get less travel time than the bikes of the premier class thanks to the greater speed allowed by their chassis.
