You don’t pass many Aprilias on an Australian highway, and that scarcity cuts both ways. It means fewer donor bikes reach wreckers in the first place, but it also means dealer parts stock for this brand is thinner than for a mainstream Japanese marque, and drops off fast once a model is a few years old. For RS, Tuono and RSV owners, that combination makes used parts genuinely important rather than just a cheaper option.
Our floor at Derrimut carries RS sportsbikes, Tuono naked bikes and RSV models as they come through. Every part is catalogued against model and year in the shop before it’s listed for sale.
RS and RSV sportsbikes get stripped for fairings, tanks, clip-ons, wheels, exhausts and engines, since fairing damage from a drop or a track day is one of the most common reasons an Aprilia ends up at a wrecker. Tuono models, built around the same V4 engine platform as the RSV4 in later generations, come apart for bodywork, wiring and engine components.
Every part is checked against model and year before it’s listed in the Aprilia category, since low production numbers mean we can’t assume a replacement bike is coming through any time soon if we get a listing wrong.
Because Aprilia sells in much smaller numbers here than the mainstream Japanese brands, dealers carry less depth of stock, and parts for older models can become genuinely hard to source once a bike is a few years past its original run. A wrecker holding stock across several years is often the more reliable option once dealer support tapers off.
Later Tuono models are built around the same V4 engine architecture as the RSV4, which means some engine components can interchange between the two even though the bodywork is completely different. That’s worth checking with us rather than assuming from a badge alone, since it can genuinely widen your options.
Earlier RS125 and RS250 two-stroke sportsbikes are long out of production, but they’re still ridden and raced by owners who specifically want a two-stroke sportsbike experience rather than anything four-stroke. Parts for these are increasingly hard to find new, which makes a wrecker one of the few realistic sources left.
A new fairing kit or exhaust system from a dealer, already priced for a premium Italian brand, carries import costs on top of that. A used part off a donor bike already in the country is typically a fraction of the price and available much sooner.
A crashed or dropped RS, Tuono or RSV rarely needs writing off completely. Fairings, a subframe or engine covers off a similar donor bike are often enough to get it back together for a fraction of what a full set of new parts would cost.
When there’s only one or two of a given part available anywhere, knowing exactly what condition it’s in before you buy matters more than it would on a mainstream brand where a bad choice just means ordering again from a wider pool.
Because Aprilia volumes are so low here, we keep close track of exactly which model and year a part came off before it’s listed, rather than assuming similar-looking generations are interchangeable just because the badge looks familiar. Search the shop for current stock, or use the parts finder for anything not yet online — given how few Aprilias come through relative to Japanese brands, it’s always worth asking directly rather than assuming a part isn’t available somewhere on the floor. Two-stroke RS owners in particular tend to get in touch directly, since this stock rarely stays listed for long once it’s up. RSV4 and V4-engined Tuono buyers are usually chasing engine components, so it’s worth mentioning both models when you enquire in case the part came off either one. Fairing colour schemes changed often across Aprilia’s history too, so don’t be surprised if we ask which year and paint code you’re chasing before we confirm a genuine match for your bike.
With so few Aprilias coming through the gate compared with mainstream brands, every part gets logged against the frame number and paint code the moment it comes off, because there may not be a second one on the shelf to fall back on if a listing gets mismatched. Fluids are drained first, then RS and RSV sportsbikes are stripped for fairings and engine components while Tuono models come apart for bodywork and wiring.
Engines are compression-tested and run where the bike allows it, and two-stroke RS engines get a specific check on top-end and piston condition, since that’s the part that wears fastest and is hardest to replace new. Fairings are checked under strong light for stress cracks around mounting points before a paint code is confirmed. Wiring is tested for continuity rather than passed on a visual check, given how little margin there is for a wrong call on a low-volume brand.
Send your model, year and paint code through contact us before you order — on a brand this thin on the ground, a five-minute check beats ordering the wrong part and waiting weeks for a second option to turn up.
Everything we sell comes off a real donor bike stripped at our own site. Can’t see what you need in the shop? Get in touch through contact us and we’ll check it against what’s coming apart next.
Confirm exact model and year rather than relying on the model name alone, especially for the RS and RSV ranges, which changed fairing shape and mounting points across generations while keeping a familiar name. Don’t assume an RSV1000 panel suits an RSV4 just because both wear the RSV badge and look broadly similar from a distance.
For fairings and bodywork, ask about cracks and stress damage around mounting points, which is where Aprilia plastics fail first after a drop or a track day off. For an engine, ask what it was checked for when pulled — compression, obvious internal wear, whether it ran under its own power before removal. Two-stroke RS engines are worth asking about top-end and piston condition specifically, since new parts for these are genuinely difficult to source and getting harder every year.
If you’re chasing an engine component for a V4-engined Tuono, ask whether an RSV4-sourced part would work — the interchange is real in places but not universal, so it’s worth checking rather than assuming it will bolt straight on. If you’re not certain a part suits your exact model and year, send the details through the parts finder before ordering. It costs nothing to check, and on a low-volume brand like this, getting it right the first time matters more than usual, since there may not be a second option waiting on the shelf.
Before ordering, have your Aprilia’s exact model and year ready, since RS and RSV bodywork changed across generations that share a familiar name. Know whether you’re chasing fairings, an engine component or something electrical, since the checks differ for each. Photos of the damaged part speed up confirming a match.
Because Aprilia stock is naturally limited here, checking the Aprilia category regularly and asking directly about anything not listed is the most reliable way to find what you need.
Every Aprilia part ships from 145–147 Australis Drive, Derrimut VIC 3026, by road freight. Small components and fairings go out as parcels; engines and wheels are palletised for the trip. Given how hard some of these parts are to replace and how few are on the road nationally, we take extra care confirming fitment and packing them properly before dispatch.
Local buyers can collect in person during opening hours, Monday to Sunday, 9am to 5pm. Everyone else, wherever they are in Australia, gets the same part in the same condition it left Derrimut in. Call 0408 795 705 or use contact us to confirm freight before ordering.
Aprilia sells in much lower volumes in Australia, so fewer bikes end up at wreckers and dealer stock for older models runs out faster. That scarcity is exactly why checking a wrecker before assuming a part isn’t available matters more on this brand.
Often for later V4-engined Tuono models built on closely related architecture, but not universally, and bodywork never interchanges between the two. Tell us your exact model and year and we’ll confirm before you order.
When they come through the warehouse, yes. These are long out of production and dealer stock is essentially gone, so we treat this stock as high-demand. Ask us directly if you’re chasing something specific for one of these.
No. Every part we sell is a used component recovered from a dismantled Aprilia. We are not an authorised Aprilia dealer and don’t sell new genuine OEM parts — everything is inspected before it’s listed for sale.
Parts are checked and tested before sale where possible — engines for compression, fairings for cracks, looms for continuity. Ask about specific warranty terms for the part you’re buying, and see our FAQ page for general terms.
Yes. We buy non-running, crashed and unwanted Aprilias across RS, RSV and Tuono models. Send details and photos through sell your bike and we’ll price it on model, condition and what’s sellable off it.
We buy Aprilia bikes for wrecking in any condition — a dropped RS, a tired Tuono, a non-running RSV, or anything not worth the cost of a dealer repair. Given how thin Aprilia stock is generally, a well-stripped donor bike is genuinely valuable to other owners searching for parts.
Send details and photos through sell your bike or call 0408 795 705. We’ll price it on model, year, condition and what’s realistically sellable off it, then organise pickup. See cash for bikes for how pricing works.
