    Racing is expensive. It's not cheap to blow up your motor


    That's for a RS. That's why they it's more $$ (besides the rarity), but it should put up with your racing much better than a modified street bike motor. Your choice.

    Well, it IS a Brand New RS racing motor. Different pistons and rods if Im not mistaken?...and they are accepting bids so might could pick it up for less than the $7500 BIN price... Used RX motors for $1900-$2200 are out there. Good Luck!

    Where does the information about pistons and rods?

    In fact, the engine is taken from 1125R and boosted by 40 hp.
    Nothing has changed constructively, only small changes in engine details. No revolutions in construction, no super materials. Where will reliability come from, if this design squeezes another 20 hp?
    It's a good bike with a good chassis, I like it - but it's not a revolutionary model. Unlike Panigale or RSV4. Engine design 1190 ever since the first Aprilia Mille 1998 MY! In those days, no one sportbikes had 120 RWHP.
    1190 engine just changed volume by 200 ccm compared Rotax engine from Mille - this is the only major change! All other changes in engine design come from volume changes and are themselves secondary and cosmetic.
    The crank, pistons, bore, valves, valve seats, springs, cams, etc are new pieces. The crank is lighter to spin faster, the valves are titanium by Del West to allow higher revving (and Del West valve seats to accommodate The valves), different water pump and charging assemblies, etc. 95% of the components on the 1190 are different than the 1125.

    RS motor is a completely different animal than the RX/SX. Also you cannot simply swap one in as the tune is completely different. RS motor has a lighter crank, Carillo rods, CP pistons (with different design and compression than RX/SX), slightly different valves, chambers, and porting than RX/SX, different cams, different exhaust, etc. The Carillo rods are stronger than the RX/SX rods but they do not fit the RX/SX motors.
