Aprilia is Celebrating the United States' Birthday With a $150,000 Superbike

America is turning 250 this year, and to help celebrate that fact, Aprilia—an Italian brand—is bringing out a special limited edition of its RSV4 X that's purely for the American buyers, though it'll be available worldwide. 

Called the RSV4 X 250th, it is the most powerful RSV4 Aprilia's ever built, with a whopping 240 horsepower being sent to that rear wheel. But its horsepower isn't the showstopper of this bike. In fact, not even the stars and stripes, and red, white, and blue paint are what's truly eye-catching, though it certainly helps the motorcycle stand out. 

No, the mouth-agape stat of the RSV4 X 250th is the damn thing's price tag. While other special edition superbikes have been expensive, including other X-Edition Aprilias, this X 250th is going to set would-be buyers back a truly eye-watering $150,000. I'm not even going to check my wallet, as I know moths will fly out of it.
