According to GPone, six-time world champion Max Biaggi, 55, took part in a test at Barcelona. Riding the Aprilia RSV4 X, he came within five seconds of Bulega on the Ducati 850, once again showing his passion for motorcycles hasn't faded.
Five seconds off the top tester at 55 — honestly, that's an absurd number. I'm retired myself, so I know: to post a time like that, you have to keep both your body and your instincts razor sharp, no exceptions. Biaggi's fingertips still remember the throttle of the Grand Prix days. This is exactly the kind of riding where passion shows itself.

I'm simply envious of the fitness it takes to ride an RSV4 hard at this age.
Test-ride lap times vary so much depending on how seriously someone's pushing, so I take them with a grain of salt.
Even saying a 5-second gap, the displacement and machine are different, so a simple comparison is tough.
Is the Aprilia RSV4X actually close to a MotoGP machine?
Seeing Biaggi still ride like he's still active gets me pumped up.
Being this fast at 55 is monstrous — genuinely impressive.
Still, just being compared to a full-time pro like Bulega says a lot about how good Biaggi still is.
