Aprilia RSV 1000 R in Revenge of the Fallen Livery
Autoblog has recently posted Aprilia’s press release for their new V4-powered 2010 RSV 4 superbike, which was presented at the AMA Pro Daytona SportBike at Road America last weekend. The bike was present with it’s full Revenge of the Fallen livery.
Aprilia’s press release:
Aprilia USA Brought Hollywood to Road Racing with Blockbuster DebutTransformers: Revenge of the Fallen inspired Aprilia race bike unveiled during action-packed Road America weekend
NEW YORK, NY – June 6, 2009 – Aprilia USA added a special dose of Hollywood blockbuster excitement to the AMA Pro Daytona SportBike series when it unveiled a one-of-a-kind Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen inspired race bike today. This special stealth edition of an Aprilia RSV 1000 Factory competition machine made its debut during Round 6 of the road racing series at Road America in Elkhart Lake, WI.
The aggressively styled Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Aprilia bike revved up excitement for the June 24 opening of one of this year’s most anticipated movies among an estimated audience of over 70,000 race fans.
Enthusiasts had plenty of chances to see the bike up close, on the track, online and will be able to watch it during a future segment of AMA Pro Prime Time on SpeedTV. Following its Paddock debut, KWS Factory Aprilia Millenium Technologies rider Ben Thompson (97) took the bike to the starting grid twice. Race 1 of the Daytona SportBike was at 4 p.m., Saturday, June 6 and Race 2 begins at 2 p.m. on Sunday, June 7. In addition to his exclusive ride, Thompson waged an equally ferocious helmet, whose design matches the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen theme.
In addition, Aprilia hosted an exclusive Midwest unveiling of the revolutionary 2010 RSV 4 Factory streetbike. Expected to transform the production superbike category with its unique blend of brutal power, Italian style and technical innovation, this was the very first Midwest appearance of the Aprilia RSV 4. It is the only RSV 4 currently on U.S. soil.
Aprilia and superbike fans also had the chance to test the latest motorcycles from the Italian manufacturer by partaking in the Aprilia Adventure: Road America. For riders who want to experience the adrenaline rush of Aprilia motorcycles, the Aprilia Adventure is the antidote to the traditional short demo ride. Instead of a few minutes riding through traffic, enthusiasts had plenty of time to fully appreciate the real capabilities of the bikes. Along the way, participants also enjoyed hospitality, refreshments and an Aprilia gift bag. The Aprilia Adventure was open to licensed riders with proper riding gear for $20.00 per person.

Warner Brothers Mucks Up Harry Potter IMAX Dates, Paramount FTW
Seems like Transformers Revenge of the Fallen is causing a stir amongst Harry Potter fans.
The IMAX version of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is being delayed 2 weeks from it’s regular 35mm opening due to a scheduling conflict. Paramount locked in the date for Transformers 2 a while ago, and signed a deal with IMAX to have it shown exclusively for 4 weeks on their screens if Michael Bay and company shot scenes with the IMAX technology. They did, and all was well. That is, until Warner Brothers pushed back the date for Harry Potter from a 2008 release date to Summer 2009, opening July 15th. That conflicts with the exclusive window for IMAX that Paramount had set in stone for ages (4 weeks from opening), and therefore Harry Potter will not begin IMAX showings until July 29th now.
Potterbots are up in arms ranting on ROTF and Paramount. From our perspective sounds more like a Warner Brothers issue. Maybe they shouldn’t release their flicks when conflicts like this are present. Or rather yet – just don’t try and compete with Transformers. I think Paramount was in the right, and Im glad they didn’t budge.
Either way, get ready for your ROTF on IMAX, they start at 12:01 AM Tuesday night/Wednesday morning opening week (June 24th).
