Aprilia Racers Days Return for 2026

Aprilia is bringing back its Aprilia Racers Days program for 2026. Teaming up with Factory Motorcycle Training, they are planning a nationwide series of on-track rider training experiences. The one-and two-day programs are structured to provide riders of all brands the space to safely explore the performance of their own bikes and Aprilia demos without the chaos of the street or a crowded open track day.

Designed for riders of all skill levels, the series combines high-performance coaching in a controlled track environment, as well as hands-on access to Aprilia motorcycles. Participants can ride their own bikes as well as demo models from the Aprilia lineup, including the Aprilia RSV4, Aprilia Tuono V4, Aprilia RS 660, Aprilia Tuono 660, and Aprilia RS 457.
