The 2006 Factory took the revised RSV 1000 R and added fully adjustable Öhlins suspension with a TiN-coated fork, an Öhlins steering damper, forged wheels, a racing seat, a black-finished frame and carbon body parts. The engine was largely carried over but remapped for stronger mid-range. It was named overall Masterbike for 2006, a strong endorsement of its track ability.
