Nearly 3 years after watching this video, being amazed at the sound of that thing and how fun it was for Statham to ride, I've just taken delivery of my new Tuono V4! I thought I was a Triumph boy for life, but I've been turned. I cannot wait to get past the breaking-in miles and open this baby up!
Aprilia has said they'd have to redesign the whole tank to implement a fuel gauge, it won't work with the shape. The bike still has a fuel light, and still has average and current mpg metering linked to the trip meter. You don't need a fuel gauge, just reset your trip meter on fillup and look at the MPGs. I own one and have toured on it, never have run out of gas.
Exactly this. I have toured many times on my RSV4. NEVER has it been an issue. Even if I've forgotten to reset the trip, you're never more than 20 miles from a petrol station.
2WheelAgenda ahhhhhh good to know. Was so annoyed that it seemed like jsut a stubborn dumbass thing and no way ather than riding consistent and logging miles ;..lol but sounds like there's a few ways to getit close . Still like to see a fuel line somewhere on that beautiful TFT tho,..especially from the most advanced and expensive exotic hypernaked on earth. 🙂 but s tank re design when a a bike redesign. Will be comming one day sooner than later makes no sense I suppose.
LIKWID yeah utah USA,.. Zions or Canyonlands, Uintahs Natuonal Forrest,..the Rocky Mountain Range, some of the most beutiful and epic scenery on earth here so u limited touring potential but on my MT10 that gets shit for fuel mileage I'll fill up and literally be searchingto make sure I can make it on a FULL tank to the next station lol 20 miles would do ZERO good in any of the site seeing touring areas here.
In the world of radically fast Panigale V4s and S1000RRs .... one often ignores the practicality of owning and riding such Super Bikes on the road, and this is where the Tuono acts as that perfect bridge between practical application with Superbike DNA! This video has actually made me fall in Love with my Tuono All over again!! THANK YOU
This video has cemented my want for a Tuono. It’s been years and crazy amounts of life changes and work… I think I’ll be finally buying one this month. Cheers! And many thanks.
I watched this review when it first came out. I bought a 2019 Tuono Factory last year and after having it for a year, I have to agree with Al and say this is one of the best bikes ever! Almost nothing wrong with it. Just a clunky left switchgear, and user interface (which they fixed with the 2021 model). Everything else is amazing! No regrets buying this!
@@peteralexander1155 it’s very clunky and requires a very fine touch because the tiny little joystick is super sensitive. The menus aren’t intuitive. You’d think you would click to change a parameter, and then move the joystick left or right to change it. Instead you have to click and then move it up and down, but then you inadvertently click the button instead and it backs you out and you have to start over again. You can’t reset the trip meter once you start the engine and put it in gear. You can’t change anything except the rider mode and the traction control level while riding. The cruise control isn’t intuitive either.
With the guy from FastBikes jumping the bike off the rumble strip to Statham talking about his forskin peeling back, this has to be the most unproffesional review ever! Absolutely love it! 🤣
ellisd82 ohhhhhh that's who the dude was that kept wheeling also? Was wondering. I'll go check their review out. Thing I love is me foreskin Statham reviews this way and hilarious but also a British Superbike and MotoGP legend lol oh and he makes action movies 😉
Martin S hell yes!!! 44Teeth is the top of tops!!! Their reviews are amazing and funny, and hell they have a MotoGP British Superbike legend doing the reviews!!!!! That wheelies the shit out of everything!! lol and then their joint stuff where it's Al and Sue lol the BBB series is the most entertaining thing on UA-cam! Laugh my ass off and enjoy the hell out of it!
What an awesome review. It was more a road race than a review:D The landscape in the italian alps is just amazing! Can‘t wait to ride my S1000R there in June.
This is my dream bike. I’ve wanted one since 2014 when I test rode the last generation version. It was the single most visceral and exciting motorcycle I’ve ever experienced. And many reviews share my experience as it being nearly the perfect motorcycle. Soon. Very soon.
Al, you are correct this is the best road bike period. Has been for years. But based on the comments here, there are plenty of people too thick to realize and give it a go. They use the pathetic excuse that it doesn't have a fuel gauge. All the other excuses have been dispelled over the years or corrected by Aprilia. Why they can't just admit it's not their cup of tea I don't know. I've ridden a lot of bikes in the last 15 years (about 100 at this point) but none come close to the Tuono V4 for a road bike with massive fun factor. Others are prettier, more comfortable, lighter, cheaper, more economical, better for touring, highway runs etc, but as a complete package it is unchallenged.
Love the way you power wheelie out of the corners. Isn’t that what we all want. Effortless enthusiasm. The power to weight ratio reads like a dirt bike. Me want.
Its a basic feature nowadays, 125cc bikes that cost few grand does have one so why not a bike for 17k? The bike does have a full colored tft display that does show you lean angles and million other information but no fuel gauge, it does not make any sense to me.
Fagan: "I love the sound of a V4 Tuono in the morning. You know, one time we had a ride in the Italian hills, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like.. [sniffing, pondering] victory. Someday this ride's gonna end..."
Pausing video at 3:20 ... wait, what?! is there a case to be made in favour of *not* having a fuel gauge? Surely not cost, in any meaningful way? Tradition? I’m hard, I don’t need a fuel gauge? Or is the thinking that reserve light is sufficient?
It's because most people have very thin skin and get all offended and upset by any criticism of something they like. Especially if the criticism is self evident as in this case. Of course it should have a fucking fuel gauge, what kind of moron would defend that? Well most of the comments on this video are about the fuel gauge so obviously there are plenty of morons out there! PS, I have zero criticism of Fagan and The Baron. They are fucking hero's to me.
Brilliant review of a even more brilliant bike! I had to dress in waders to watch the entire clip. 44 teeth rules. Great reviews, humor and riding skills combined with entertaining clips, you made me a proper youtube-addict. Now I need to go to rehab on my Tuono in Italy.
😍😍😍😍. EPIC!!!! And jealous!!!!! Ya jsut have to search for the deals! When buying my new MT10 at launch I searched on cycletrader ALL of America and Canada and searched by price low to high the week they launched and within 2 weeks 2 popped up from a dealer in California than needs to sell 2 by the end of month to keep their dealer allotment and handnt sold one yet so they listed 2 at $9,200 brand new at launch!!! New bike In The US , msrp was $13,000, and they charged no dealer fees , set up fees and out of state I didn't have to pay taxes so I saved almost $6,000!!!! Brand new 4 miles , full warranty. Just gotta look right? What a deal on a Factory tho!!!
Me too, couple of weeks ago, just done the 1000km service and had the akro put on 😍 Much better value than getting the 19, next year be a great deal on a 19 when the 2020 is released!
waz chop got excited about a deal like that but the new 2020 comming and these will drop , the new V4 Streetfighter is comming too so thinking within a couple years have a good choice of 1100 Factory's , '17-19 SDR's etc! Then give me another 5 years and I'll go new '20-21 Tuono Factory . I LOVE that these Supernakeds are just getting better and better, the sport bike market down and nakeds up seriously the manufacturers are going nuts to compete, man I Love it!!!! 26 years of sport bikes and my first supernkade a new MT10 at launch and some mods and I feel absolutely In Love with the Supernakeds!!! I tracked the hell out of my MT10 and my times on the shorter track were better than my '15 R1,..andni can ride the 90 minutes there and back with cruise and comfort!!! I did a 1,700 mile trip on it and loved it!!! Wouldn't have dreamed of doing half that on my R1 lol. And wheelies!!!! Ohhh wheelies!!! No more fun bike class for commuting that a Supernaked! Commuted year round in Utah USA , snow and all. What an awesome bike class!!!
@@MZ-bl6wg it's a great time being alive, my first new street bike was 1975 H1 500,nothing was faster back then except Kawasaki. Now in 2020 theirs no dog bike in any competitive class, my 2008 ZX-14 turbocharged fully done is a Cruz missile, but it's got no electronics at my age now this maybe my last new bike, and am die hard Kawasaki rider it's tough decision between this and the H2sxse+ full pipe, air filter and flash you got 240Hp. Check it out Brock does upgrade on a 2019, he's floored by the results on UA-cam. 🇨🇦
Man, this is not fair. I'm at home, recovering from a knee surgery, unable to ride for almost a month now (probably with another month or two out of the bike), and you show up with this? Pure torture! :) Excellent review btw.
Watched this on a TV and I’ve gotta say the camera quality was stunning! Also, amazing bike - Favourite bike I’ve ridden to date, 2015 model Great watch, Al 👍
I have the 2017 Tuono Factory and it is brilliant in every aspect. I smile every time I swing a leg over it, and of course the sound....but I must say you’d have thought that the technology to add a fuel gauge to this magnificent machine wouldn’t be that great of a challenge for Aprilia.
This will be my next road bike. Italy what a great place not only good people there the weather is nice the towns are nice the roads are beautiful it's paradise I will go back soon for sure. Great review guys!
jean marc Giroux if I lived in Italy I'd own one. Almost bought one here in America but NO Aprilia dealers within 1,400 miles of me so was too worrysome for me for dealer service etc.but man in Italy I'd be SO down!!!
Test drove one. Great bike, picking my Tuono factory in another 3 days cant wait! The no fuel gauge not that big of a deal, still has a fuel light. Just have to remember to reset that trip computer.
You can turn anti wheelie off on the fly, the anti wheelie button is also used for cruise control, deselect cruise control then use the button for anti wheelie control on the fly
Ohhhh how I Love 44Teeth! Reviews are wheelies wheelies with one of the worlds greats Superbike and MotoGP vets or you've got the Barron's hilarious commentary! Then the BBB stuff is THE most entertaining channel out there! Hands down!!!! Al Statham and Sue Barron together are the freaking most hilarious partners in entertainment! Keep it up 44Teeth!
Had mine for 2 weeks now, and very happy , but boy that straight through Akra is loud, already had hard stares from the boys in blue. Oh and super corsa’s in the wet, concentrates the mind.
@@lingenfelterzeeohhsix8154 They were riding around Lake Garda in northern Italy. When he looks right and goes "Wow" the towns on either side of the Sarca river are Torbole and Linfano.
The most important point that needs to be highlighted is the one we all can relate too, when the raw tip is exposed and chaffing and no amount of stand up shaft wafting can reposition it, only making it worse
Such a brilliant bike. Even in rr spec which is basically the same apart from colour and Sachs instead of ohlins. Awesome on the road, track and makes a decent touring bike
Motorbike Tourer yeah,..honestly at the cost of an MT10 that's crazy considering v4 1100 , Sachs and brembos are so much better than the mt10 , my only things were though I hate the tail on the rr ,..dumb reason I know but I also am in love with the RSV4 Factory tail on a tuono lol looks so WSBK! I also am obsessed with the colors and Livery of the Factory , those read wheels 😍 so those couple things and were big to me so paying a bit more and getting this new electronic Ohlins and and Akra (tho I'd go Full SC or Austin) it was the only route I felt like I could go,..probably not great reasons but just in love with the Factory . The '14-'15 tuonos started seeing a lot of swapped RSV4 tails ,..do they have that option for the RR? And if you're an owner of a tuono,..I need to ask,..how is the reliability? I'm in utah US and decided against a tuono Factory becaue I'd heard it wasn't great reliability and there's no Aprilia dealer within 1,400 miles of me so that's a big deal buying new ,.,regarding service, recalls , repairs etc. but curious as a tuono owner what your thoughts are?
Lingenfelter Zee Ohh Six - I own a ,14 Tuono with a swapped out RSV4 tail. Ride it like I stole it. I am the second owner and bought it a 8ish-k miles and now am at 12.5k miles. I rode it from CT to PA; to OH and MI and now live in MN. The bikes never burped and lives at 80-105 mph on the highways. A pure joy to own. That said, yesterday I went looking to buy a 19 Factory, but my dealer near Minneapolis wouldn’t sell me his Demo Factory yet. I’m waiting for a new one, but yea I scour CycleTrader looking the same way you do. I want a 19 not an 18.. should I forget the suspension and get an 18 leftover? It’s going to be way cheaper for sure... but I like the Ohlins EC2.0 review.
Tom Chambers for the price the 18 tuono is a bargain here in the UK, that’s what I would get the 19 factory is £17,000 And a new 2018 RR can be had for £11500
I was just about to order one when I heard the words "no fuel gauge". I guess I will keep riding my bicycle to school for a few more years until they figure it out!
I dunno, I've never had one on the bikes I have. I just go by mileage and don't seem to have any issues. But in the back of my mind I do still wonder why more don't have one..
RandomShart Nope. Not like that at all. I know how many miles I can go on a tank no matter how hard I ride. So... I get gas around that mark. Even if I forget to reset a tripmeter, the bike starts a separate trip meter marked “F” for fuel when the fuel light’s triggered , so you know exactly how far you’ve gone since it came on. It’s idiot proof. Should it have a fuel gauge? Yup. But it’s not a touring bike. Not buying this bike because it doesn’t have a fuel gauge says to me that person has completely missed the point of this motorcycle.
I almost admire their obstinance in refusing to add one, even now in 2019, and with a fully featured TFT screen for a few years now... It'd be the simplest thing in the world for them to add one, and as Fagan said at the start, it's one of the first things people ask, so it's clearly on people's minds, I know I was incredulous when I found out the new ones still don't have a fuel gauge. But despite all of that, the boffins at Aprilia just bull-headedly say "NO FUEL GAUGE FOR YOU"! Anyway, I'm happy with my 2018 S1000R, complete with fuel gauge, factory heated grips, and cruise control; and when the TFT screen, LED Headlights, and frame tech from the 2019 S1000RR filters down to the 2020, 2021, or 2022 S1000R, that'll be my next bike. :)
I dont know why but you singing the Grease song so calmly and relating it to the Tuono had me rollin. I guess because it was so random. I never really hit like on videos but I had to do it hahaa. Keep up the good work 🤙🏽
Wow. I get about 240 km out of a tank with my s1000r when riding in a spirited manner, and maybe 280km for just normal riding. 200 km would be a bit limiting when cruising some pets where I live. The Tu Factory is very high on my list of bikes to replace my current s1000r but fuel range is a consideration
I came back to this review. I've got new bike fever (not the pandemic kind). I'm torn between the new Ducati Streetfighter and a Tuono. I had a chance to bond with a Tuono (non-factory) a few years ago. It overheated in Texas summer traffic but was otherwise breathtaking. That exhaust note... pure sex. The worst part is the range. I have to ride quite a ways to get to the good stuff. Was on a ride with a guy on a Tuono and we had to go back and bring him a can of gas.
This is definately not BBB as the bikes all managed to start up......awesome video and makes a change to see you riding a bike rather than working on it 👍
you can change the AWC while on the fly, down in the menu. APRC configuration i think and then you should see Cruise Control enabled somewhere on it. Flick it to AWC and voila:)
Chris 7821 jealous of your ride! I went MT10 becaue not a Aprilia dealer anyyyywhwre even remotely far form here lol What year and how's the reliability been? Is that a whole bunch of bs ?
@@lingenfelterzeeohhsix8154 having a dealer nearby is quiet important. Some troubles i had. Blipper stopped working and the engine mapping out of the factory was bugged. Engine cut off when you slowed down in 2 gear every 4th time. But else. I had no breakdowns whatsoever. Since i have 30000 kilometres already on the clock. I think i may say it s reliable. Avoid older RSV like before 2010. Else you should be fine. Got 2017 Factory
Aprilia is really under appreciated. They are so tiny and yet still cater to all the audience, They have their little RS125 which from a distance is easily mistaken for an RSV4 :,D It's also top of the line and is probably the fastest 125 tied with the MT125 from Yamaha, they also offer a range of Big supermotos, touring bikes, Supersports, Enduros/MX bikes. Really they deserve more sales (especially so they get cheaper lol)
@@lingenfelterzeeohhsix8154 Northern Italy, amazing roads, scenery, people, easy access to Switzerland and the dolomites, a national live for Motorsport, kind police, it's literally heaven
This bike is going to be my personal 30th birthday present next year. I am so looking forward to it circling it around the country roads surrounding the Nürburgring
Thats exactly why i went for dorsoduro. It takes a millisecond for the engine to kick prewenting you from accidently popping the front tire, but would you want to you blimp the throttle and the add gas, or the old clutch up. Newer looked back on Hypermotards, keeping the dorsoduro from now on.
Great channel, great review! Engine and chassis is perfect! But, when is Aprilia going to update the body work? Same design for several years. New color screen?
Mario Brothers looks like '20 was the word but looking like '21 model year so next year end of season I guess unless they shock everyone and pull off the '20! There's a rendering out there leaked by an ex Aprilia employee , Jsut one view but everyone's saying it's legit and Aprilia won't comment and say "it's NOT it" so looks to be real and likely very very close! It looks AMAZING!!!! Has similar lines and still a sort of 3 head light configuration still which is trasitional Aprilia but uses LEDs instead and slim Lights, has a smaller cannard than the Factory Rsv4 but looks so cool, same stink bug short tail concept, and based directly from the new rsv4 being designed side by side,..it's going to. Give the new Ducati v4 Streetfighter and the new S1000R M a run for its money for sure!!!! Tho I'm loving the leaked MT10 update too and excited to see what KTM does in response to all these hypernakeds what a glorious day we live in huh?
'agricultural in comparison.' 'screams for Satan'. LOL! Love it! Where else but 44Teeth do you hear words like this on a motorcycle review?! 'Bending over and taking a '??????'? What? Must be British slang. Also love the 80's arcade game sound effects.
"Like a flea riding a dogs ball bag" LOLLLL! I've been doing the cruiser thing since my 1098 got totaled a decade ago. Currently on an Indian Springfield. Good for what it is (2 wheeled couch) but I fucked up and went to the COTA GP this year and saw all the bikes. Been thinking about something more sporty to add to the garage ever since. Wife says I can get any bike I want in 3yrs when I retire. Back can't do a super bike anymore, but this! this thing is a gem! better riding position for my back, plenty of go, plenty of braking power, gadgets to keep me from doing dumb shit (prob do it anyways). Good review man! I think this is the one
Great review - good to hear they have not put a fuel gauge in - my Aprilia Tuono 2007 does not have one and I don't want one - it has about 00.000000000001% significance when deciding to buy this bike!
On Monday I pulled the trigger on a brand new 2018 factory. This is a machine of beauty. I didn’t think the extra 2k usd was worth it for just a suspension upgrade. Nevertheless I LOVE THIS BIKE!!!
What an environment to ride in, I really wish I had a down blipper and cruise control on mine but they don't offer blue any more, so I will probably keep my 2016 RR another year, Awesome video and keep up the amazing videos!
I appreciate how great these bikes are but I finally took it off the list of potentials for my next bike for a few reasons. 1) Dealerships are too much of a hassle. 2) I watch the used bike market in a few areas pretty closely and I see the same Tuonos for sale for months. No one wants them. 3) I never see these bikes out riding around with high mileage. Not anywhere. Most motorbikes are just toys, not necessities, but Aprilias are complete money pits. Once you buy it, it's yours and you are probably never getting anything out of it. A few years of enjoyment and then a lot of expensive maintenance. I can buy a Yamaha, BMW, Honda, or even a Ducati, ride it for awhile and still sell it for a decent amount. Journalists can orgasm over them all they want but it's just a bad choice for anyone without lots of excess money. There's a reason the bike reviewers who have so little bad to say about these bikes don't own one themselves.
It sucks to say, but your arguments are very subjective to where you live. Yes, Aprilia's dealership network isn't ideal, but the long term cost of these bikes won't be considerably more than your typical BMW or Ducati. I guess I'm very lucky to live within 20 km distance to 3 separate dealers that sell Aprilias because these Tuonos and even RSV4 are selling like hotcakes around here. Also, these tuonos don't last long on the used bike market because they're very desirable. So yeah, if there aren't many dealerships with Aprilias around you, it's not that great. However, if it's the opposite case, it would be hard to pick any other bike in the same class over Aprilia. Especially after a test ride.
@@Unblockable That's good to hear. Would love to own one of these one day. Road a 2016 recently and it was incredible. But like you said my arguments are pretty applicable to where I live. One day that may change tho. Maintenance wise, you're probably right relative to Ducati but with BMW I have much more confidence in longevity albeit more expensive maintenance.
@@beanwithbaconmegarocket Yeah, it all depends on which dealer is more convenient for you in terms of support. In my area, the most expensive bikes to own (from experience and friends) are KTM, Ducati and BMW. I really hope Aprilia continues to grow so more people can experience their bikes.
@16:27 You aren't being objective because what constitutes the best engine ever? The best sounding engine? The engine that is cheap to maintain? The engine with the best powerband?
Hey Mr Fagan! You're riding the roads me and my Superduke like the most 😀 Luckily I don't live too far away from there and when I need an escape I can FASTLY go there to chill out and... bend the SD
I have one of these latest 2022 one in a couple weeks AL,, I bet that was a memorable day for sure epic, I’m heading down that way in august and look forward to those roads 👌
I've got the '16 RSV4 RF.......best bike I've ever owned. Easily. I've owned about 10-15 sport bikes since 1986.......ZX-7, GSX-R, CBR, Ducati........The RSV4 RF has the right sound, fueling, suspension, styling........everything. I'd imagine the Tuono is the same.
Great review Al Fagan 👍🏻 21min 31 sec “bury that bastard deep in the corner “ , 15min 56sec “Riva Del Garda Riva Del Boner “ .I love the commentary. I test rode one after watching this review, just considering used 2019 or wait for the 2020 in matte black and carbon with fluorescent red and green “Atomico Racer”, my heart says Atomico , bank balance says used 2019 in “Super pole “ colours. First world problem. Poor bastard.
Nice riding 👌also nice to see neevesy sliding and wheeling at the front. I have the tuono V4 1100 Factory 2016 model. Easily the best bike Ive ever owned.
iTxip I almosttttttt bought a '17 Factory but no Aprilia dealer within 1,400 miles of me so I worried about service and of course there's so many variations on the reliability question and honestly I don't know anyone that's owned one so I have NO idea of its true or BS. So I went MT10 at the launch ; half the price but obviously no Ohlins , Brembos etc etc ,..if I'd had a dealer a lot closer I'd of.boufht the Factory. How has t been honestly? It's the greatest naked ever for sure! This new '19 1100 with the E adjustable Ohlins is nuts too,..man I'd love one. Really curious about how they ACTUALY are reliability wise FROM AN OWNER OF One! Not some BMW fan boi they hates Aprilias and says their crap. lol I want to know from Aprilia owners. 👌
Holy crap I LOvE the always aggressive behavior during testing that u have with Neevesy! Lol always anhorn honk, a wheelie, a skid , some swerves lol I love it!
Hm. I'm great at wheelies but recently bought this bike and tried to clutch up wheelie. I disabled wheelie control, traction control but nevertheless the bike cuts power after I make clutch up. In the first part of wheelie it does not go up. Strange. Powerwheelies are ok in 1st 2nd and 3rd. What is happening? Im able to put any other 1000cc bike in to balance point at reaching 60-70 kmh. Please comment.
So jealous while I'm at work and you're out there. Love my 19 Tuono, was great fun around nurburgring which I uploaded last week. Fuel gauge for me is the trip computer, light comes on every 100-110 miles. Only gripe is that poxy joystick on left side which is a pain with gloves on. Such a good bike though
5UP how's maintenance and reliability on the '16? Almost bought one before going MT10 becaue is heard not great but there's always haters, love to know from an owner . So yours is the 1000 right? Went 1100 in '17?

Aprilia has said they'd have to redesign the whole tank to implement a fuel gauge, it won't work with the shape. The bike still has a fuel light, and still has average and current mpg metering linked to the trip meter. You don't need a fuel gauge, just reset your trip meter on fillup and look at the MPGs. I own one and have toured on it, never have run out of gas.
Hahaha, now that's how you know you got a piece of pure italian design: form over function!
Exactly this. I have toured many times on my RSV4. NEVER has it been an issue. Even if I've forgotten to reset the trip, you're never more than 20 miles from a petrol station.
@@joesheehan__ You've obviously never toured in the Scottish highlands. Quite a bit more than 20 miles!

I watched this review when it first came out. I bought a 2019 Tuono Factory last year and after having it for a year, I have to agree with Al and say this is one of the best bikes ever! Almost nothing wrong with it. Just a clunky left switchgear, and user interface (which they fixed with the 2021 model). Everything else is amazing! No regrets buying this!
What`s wrong with the user interface?
@@peteralexander1155 it’s very clunky and requires a very fine touch because the tiny little joystick is super sensitive. The menus aren’t intuitive. You’d think you would click to change a parameter, and then move the joystick left or right to change it. Instead you have to click and then move it up and down, but then you inadvertently click the button instead and it backs you out and you have to start over again. You can’t reset the trip meter once you start the engine and put it in gear. You can’t change anything except the rider mode and the traction control level while riding. The cruise control isn’t intuitive either.
@@cwhitty05 Thanks for the reply.
With the guy from FastBikes jumping the bike off the rumble strip to Statham talking about his forskin peeling back, this has to be the most unproffesional review ever! Absolutely love it! 🤣
Hahahaha amen!
ellisd82 ohhhhhh that's who the dude was that kept wheeling also? Was wondering. I'll go check their review out. Thing I love is me foreskin Statham reviews this way and hilarious but also a British Superbike and MotoGP legend lol oh and he makes action movies 😉
I don't currently have the money for this bike but i would do some questionable things to raise capital for this bike...
Drink cat piss from mother teresa's sandal ?
Dude there is a bank next to my house and i have a pair of socks if you interested. Im in.

Best bike review on the web. period.
No nonsense, fun to watch, excellent image quality and amazing sound!!!
Martin S hell yes!!! 44Teeth is the top of tops!!! Their reviews are amazing and funny, and hell they have a MotoGP British Superbike legend doing the reviews!!!!! That wheelies the shit out of everything!! lol and then their joint stuff where it's Al and Sue lol the BBB series is the most entertaining thing on UA-cam! Laugh my ass off and enjoy the hell out of it!
Poor choice of metaphors and swearing spoils it.
Agreed. I could watch hours of this; incredible scenery and riding. Also an incredible bike - I want one!
What an awesome review. It was more a road race than a review:D
The landscape in the italian alps is just amazing! Can‘t wait to ride my S1000R there in June.
This is my dream bike. I’ve wanted one since 2014 when I test rode the last generation version. It was the single most visceral and exciting motorcycle I’ve ever experienced. And many reviews share my experience as it being nearly the perfect motorcycle. Soon. Very soon.
Al, you are correct this is the best road bike period. Has been for years.
But based on the comments here, there are plenty of people too thick to realize and give it a go. They use the pathetic excuse that it doesn't have a fuel gauge. All the other excuses have been dispelled over the years or corrected by Aprilia. Why they can't just admit it's not their cup of tea I don't know. I've ridden a lot of bikes in the last 15 years (about 100 at this point) but none come close to the Tuono V4 for a road bike with massive fun factor. Others are prettier, more comfortable, lighter, cheaper, more economical, better for touring, highway runs etc, but as a complete package it is unchallenged.
Selling my 1290 for this, absolutely loved it! The engine and handling is mental, loved the 1290 but this put a bigger smile to my face to be honest
Did you get it?
Thinking about getting a 1290 or a V4…
@@nistafista yup! Had it for two years ! Loved it, now I'm riding enduro so i have no road bike atm
Best road bike money can buy! The looks, the sound, the refinement. The whole experience of it is amazing!
Had cash in hand at the dealer, started to sign papers, but after realizing there is no fuel gauge I went with the Kymco Spade. No regrets!
Alright big man
bcyz1000 Lol! That’s was the deal breaker? If it had one it would spoil the fun.
Probably the best looking tuono yet. Thanks for the review, jason
Love the way you power wheelie out of the corners. Isn’t that what we all want. Effortless enthusiasm. The power to weight ratio reads like a dirt bike. Me want.
To be honest, there is really a no excuse for no fuel gauge at such a expensive bike in 2019.
What's the big deal about a fuel gauge??? I've been riding 40 years with no fuel gauge and never run out of gas...
Sir KK agreed Sir....you need a fuel gauge you need to ride more 🤘
Its a basic feature nowadays, 125cc bikes that cost few grand does have one so why not a bike for 17k? The bike does have a full colored tft display that does show you lean angles and million other information but no fuel gauge, it does not make any sense to me.
@@spike7038 I'm with you guys.. It just seems like one more sensor to fail, and something I can live without.
There is a low fuel lamp. It's all you need. You also know its roughly 110 miles from a tank WGAF?
Fagan: "I love the sound of a V4 Tuono in the morning. You know, one time we had a ride in the Italian hills, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like.. [sniffing, pondering] victory. Someday this ride's gonna end..."
Aprilicalypse now
Sounds like a glorious heaven !
Pausing video at 3:20 ... wait, what?! is there a case to be made in favour of *not* having a fuel gauge? Surely not cost, in any meaningful way? Tradition? I’m hard, I don’t need a fuel gauge? Or is the thinking that reserve light is sufficient?
It's because most people have very thin skin and get all offended and upset by any criticism of something they like. Especially if the criticism is self evident as in this case.
Of course it should have a fucking fuel gauge, what kind of moron would defend that?
Well most of the comments on this video are about the fuel gauge so obviously there are plenty of morons out there!
PS, I have zero criticism of Fagan and The Baron. They are fucking hero's to me.
Brilliant review of a even more brilliant bike! I had to dress in waders to watch the entire clip.
44 teeth rules. Great reviews, humor and riding skills combined with entertaining clips, you made me a proper youtube-addict. Now I need to go to rehab on my Tuono in Italy.
Just bought an 18 model on a 19 plate with free akro and remap for £14500, brand new ! Bargain . 👍🏼
😍😍😍😍. EPIC!!!! And jealous!!!!! Ya jsut have to search for the deals! When buying my new MT10 at launch I searched on cycletrader ALL of America and Canada and searched by price low to high the week they launched and within 2 weeks 2 popped up from a dealer in California than needs to sell 2 by the end of month to keep their dealer allotment and handnt sold one yet so they listed 2 at $9,200 brand new at launch!!! New bike In The US , msrp was $13,000, and they charged no dealer fees , set up fees and out of state I didn't have to pay taxes so I saved almost $6,000!!!! Brand new 4 miles , full warranty. Just gotta look right? What a deal on a Factory tho!!!
Congrats.
Me too, couple of weeks ago, just done the 1000km service and had the akro put on 😍
Much better value than getting the 19, next year be a great deal on a 19 when the 2020 is released!
waz chop got excited about a deal like that but the new 2020 comming and these will drop , the new V4 Streetfighter is comming too so thinking within a couple years have a good choice of 1100 Factory's , '17-19 SDR's etc! Then give me another 5 years and I'll go new '20-21 Tuono Factory . I LOVE that these Supernakeds are just getting better and better, the sport bike market down and nakeds up seriously the manufacturers are going nuts to compete, man I Love it!!!! 26 years of sport bikes and my first supernkade a new MT10 at launch and some mods and I feel absolutely In Love with the Supernakeds!!! I tracked the hell out of my MT10 and my times on the shorter track were better than my '15 R1,..andni can ride the 90 minutes there and back with cruise and comfort!!! I did a 1,700 mile trip on it and loved it!!! Wouldn't have dreamed of doing half that on my R1 lol. And wheelies!!!! Ohhh wheelies!!! No more fun bike class for commuting that a Supernaked! Commuted year round in Utah USA , snow and all. What an awesome bike class!!!
@@MZ-bl6wg it's a great time being alive, my first new street bike was 1975 H1 500,nothing was faster back then except Kawasaki. Now in 2020 theirs no dog bike in any competitive class, my 2008 ZX-14 turbocharged fully done is a Cruz missile, but it's got no electronics at my age now this maybe my last new bike, and am die hard Kawasaki rider it's tough decision between this and the H2sxse+ full pipe, air filter and flash you got 240Hp. Check it out Brock does upgrade on a 2019, he's floored by the results on UA-cam. 🇨🇦
That thing sounds mental. Great review Statham, nice wheelies
Man, this is not fair. I'm at home, recovering from a knee surgery, unable to ride for almost a month now (probably with another month or two out of the bike), and you show up with this? Pure torture! :) Excellent review btw.
Watched this on a TV and I’ve gotta say the camera quality was stunning!
Also, amazing bike - Favourite bike I’ve ridden to date, 2015 model
Great watch, Al 👍
I have the 2017 Tuono Factory and it is brilliant in every aspect. I smile every time I swing a leg over it, and of course the sound....but I must say you’d have thought that the technology to add a fuel gauge to this magnificent machine wouldn’t be that great of a challenge for Aprilia.
Just reset the trip odometer & it will give you a pretty accurate repeatable estimate of fuel need unless you hit the track & then all bets are off!
Wow just wow, would have loved to have been on that gig!
This will be my next road bike. Italy what a great place not only good people there the weather is nice the towns are nice the roads are beautiful it's paradise I will go back soon for sure. Great review guys!
jean marc Giroux if I lived in Italy I'd own one. Almost bought one here in America but NO Aprilia dealers within 1,400 miles of me so was too worrysome for me for dealer service etc.but man in Italy I'd be SO down!!!
Test drove one. Great bike, picking my Tuono factory in another 3 days cant wait!
The no fuel gauge not that big of a deal, still has a fuel light. Just have to remember to reset that trip computer.
You can turn anti wheelie off on the fly, the anti wheelie button is also used for cruise control, deselect cruise control then use the button for anti wheelie control on the fly
Ohhhh how I Love 44Teeth! Reviews are wheelies wheelies with one of the worlds greats Superbike and MotoGP vets or you've got the Barron's hilarious commentary! Then the BBB stuff is THE most entertaining channel out there! Hands down!!!! Al Statham and Sue Barron together are the freaking most hilarious partners in entertainment!
Keep it up 44Teeth!
Hang on I zone out for 10 seconds and Al’s talking about his foreskin 🤣. Forty Fourskins.
And why is it rubbing on his jeans?!
Helps to wear undies to solve foreskin problems.Lol.
Lmaoo it happens on occasion when you're riding and switching body position for corners and shit
We don’t have foreskins in Australia ,the knob is out full time 😂
@@andrewcrooks373 Lol.
Had mine for 2 weeks now, and very happy , but boy that straight through Akra is loud, already had hard stares from the boys in blue. Oh and super corsa’s in the wet, concentrates the mind.
Those roads and that scenery... even if the bike wasn't as good as it is, I can't imagine riding anything there and giving it a bad review.
Joric78 where on earth was it????? Gorgeous but didn't recognize AT ALL the name he called it lol what country is it in??
@@lingenfelterzeeohhsix8154 Italy. Haven't looked up the place but my guess would be that it is somewhere near the Aprilia factory
@@lingenfelterzeeohhsix8154 They were riding around Lake Garda in northern Italy. When he looks right and goes "Wow" the towns on either side of the Sarca river are Torbole and Linfano.
The most important point that needs to be highlighted is the one we all can relate too, when the raw tip is exposed and chaffing and no amount of stand up shaft wafting can reposition it, only making it worse
Love my Tuono. Best experience on two wheels.
This review kicks ass. I watched it while on a stationary bike and have improved my cornering skills.
I got the 2020 Tuono factory, and agree its the best super street bike you can buy!
Such a brilliant bike. Even in rr spec which is basically the same apart from colour and Sachs instead of ohlins.
Awesome on the road, track and makes a decent touring bike
Motorbike Tourer yeah,..honestly at the cost of an MT10 that's crazy considering v4 1100 , Sachs and brembos are so much better than the mt10 , my only things were though I hate the tail on the rr ,..dumb reason I know but I also am in love with the RSV4 Factory tail on a tuono lol looks so WSBK! I also am obsessed with the colors and Livery of the Factory , those read wheels 😍 so those couple things and were big to me so paying a bit more and getting this new electronic Ohlins and and Akra (tho I'd go Full SC or Austin) it was the only route I felt like I could go,..probably not great reasons but just in love with the Factory . The '14-'15 tuonos started seeing a lot of swapped RSV4 tails ,..do they have that option for the RR?
And if you're an owner of a tuono,..I need to ask,..how is the reliability? I'm in utah US and decided against a tuono Factory becaue I'd heard it wasn't great reliability and there's no Aprilia dealer within 1,400 miles of me so that's a big deal buying new ,.,regarding service, recalls , repairs etc. but curious as a tuono owner what your thoughts are?
Lingenfelter Zee Ohh Six - I own a ,14 Tuono with a swapped out RSV4 tail. Ride it like I stole it. I am the second owner and bought it a 8ish-k miles and now am at 12.5k miles. I rode it from CT to PA; to OH and MI and now live in MN. The bikes never burped and lives at 80-105 mph on the highways. A pure joy to own. That said, yesterday I went looking to buy a 19 Factory, but my dealer near Minneapolis wouldn’t sell me his Demo Factory yet. I’m waiting for a new one, but yea I scour CycleTrader looking the same way you do. I want a 19 not an 18.. should I forget the suspension and get an 18 leftover? It’s going to be way cheaper for sure... but I like the Ohlins EC2.0 review.
Tom Chambers for the price the 18 tuono is a bargain here in the UK, that’s what I would get the 19 factory is £17,000
And a new 2018 RR can be had for £11500
I’d love to know the route they took, wicked roads to rip through and beautiful scenery too!
I was just about to order one when I heard the words "no fuel gauge".
I guess I will keep riding my bicycle to school for a few more years until they figure it out!
I dunno, I've never had one on the bikes I have. I just go by mileage and don't seem to have any issues. But in the back of my mind I do still wonder why more don't have one..
@@ZX6R2KGT everybody says that who never had a good fuel gauge,
Leuff Lol
RandomShart Nope. Not like that at all. I know how many miles I can go on a tank no matter how hard I ride. So... I get gas around that mark. Even if I forget to reset a tripmeter, the bike starts a separate trip meter marked “F” for fuel when the fuel light’s triggered , so you know exactly how far you’ve gone since it came on. It’s idiot proof. Should it have a fuel gauge? Yup. But it’s not a touring bike. Not buying this bike because it doesn’t have a fuel gauge says to me that person has completely missed the point of this motorcycle.
I almost admire their obstinance in refusing to add one, even now in 2019, and with a fully featured TFT screen for a few years now... It'd be the simplest thing in the world for them to add one, and as Fagan said at the start, it's one of the first things people ask, so it's clearly on people's minds, I know I was incredulous when I found out the new ones still don't have a fuel gauge. But despite all of that, the boffins at Aprilia just bull-headedly say "NO FUEL GAUGE FOR YOU"! Anyway, I'm happy with my 2018 S1000R, complete with fuel gauge, factory heated grips, and cruise control; and when the TFT screen, LED Headlights, and frame tech from the 2019 S1000RR filters down to the 2020, 2021, or 2022 S1000R, that'll be my next bike. :)
I dont know why but you singing the Grease song so calmly and relating it to the Tuono had me rollin. I guess because it was so random. I never really hit like on videos but I had to do it hahaa. Keep up the good work 🤙🏽
Fuel gauge ? What about zero the trip on fill ups.
I had a '14 Tuono, a fuel gauge is unnecessary because you have to fill up at every stop anyways lol I think the most I ever saw was 200km.
Jeff Barnard True! I have a 2009, 2016 and soon 2019. At a gas station all the time.Would t have any other bike though.
Jeff Barnard I have an 06 CBR600RR and I’m lucky to get 200klms range and that’s with a fuel gauge ha ha.
Evan Drinkwater lucky to get 90 miles on my Tuono. But I flog them pretty hard.
@@EvanDrinkwater 2nd that have the 05 CBR500rr. And the fuel stations are a constant 😅.
Wow. I get about 240 km out of a tank with my s1000r when riding in a spirited manner, and maybe 280km for just normal riding. 200 km would be a bit limiting when cruising some pets where I live. The Tu Factory is very high on my list of bikes to replace my current s1000r but fuel range is a consideration
Hey guys just wanted to say that your videos seriously make my day better! Keep up the good work!
Freaking epic review on a mint of a bike. Orgasmic landscape too! I definitely want 1!
16:04 When you get a bike for free lol
I came back to this review. I've got new bike fever (not the pandemic kind). I'm torn between the new Ducati Streetfighter and a Tuono. I had a chance to bond with a Tuono (non-factory) a few years ago. It overheated in Texas summer traffic but was otherwise breathtaking. That exhaust note... pure sex. The worst part is the range. I have to ride quite a ways to get to the good stuff. Was on a ride with a guy on a Tuono and we had to go back and bring him a can of gas.
For Sale: 2019 Aprilia Tuono demo. 238mi on the back tire, 198mi on the front tire.
17:37 Thanks for the info, much appreciated.
This is definately not BBB as the bikes all managed to start up......awesome video and makes a change to see you riding a bike rather than working on it 👍
28:40 some statement, heard a lot of reviewers say more or less the same thing. 10 years old and no need to re-design: what a bike.
you can change the AWC while on the fly, down in the menu. APRC configuration i think and then you should see Cruise Control enabled somewhere on it. Flick it to AWC and voila:)
Chris 7821 jealous of your ride! I went MT10 becaue not a Aprilia dealer anyyyywhwre even remotely far form here lol
What year and how's the reliability been? Is that a whole bunch of bs ?
@@lingenfelterzeeohhsix8154 having a dealer nearby is quiet important. Some troubles i had. Blipper stopped working and the engine mapping out of the factory was bugged. Engine cut off when you slowed down in 2 gear every 4th time. But else. I had no breakdowns whatsoever. Since i have 30000 kilometres already on the clock. I think i may say it s reliable. Avoid older RSV like before 2010. Else you should be fine. Got 2017 Factory
Aprilia is really under appreciated. They are so tiny and yet still cater to all the audience, They have their little RS125 which from a distance is easily mistaken for an RSV4 :,D It's also top of the line and is probably the fastest 125 tied with the MT125 from Yamaha, they also offer a range of Big supermotos, touring bikes, Supersports, Enduros/MX bikes. Really they deserve more sales (especially so they get cheaper lol)
not until you try and get parts haha
@@WRLondon see if more people bought aprilias they would increase their spares/parts availability too :P
Roads around Trento and RdG are amazing, life goals to live there
JackSwatman what country?
@@lingenfelterzeeohhsix8154 Northern Italy, amazing roads, scenery, people, easy access to Switzerland and the dolomites, a national live for Motorsport, kind police, it's literally heaven
This bike is going to be my personal 30th birthday present next year. I am so looking forward to it circling it around the country roads surrounding the Nürburgring
@11:35 ... sooo true. Had a Hypermotard evo sp, bloody thing thought it was a monocycle haha
Thats exactly why i went for dorsoduro. It takes a millisecond for the engine to kick prewenting you from accidently popping the front tire, but would you want to you blimp the throttle and the add gas, or the old clutch up. Newer looked back on Hypermotards, keeping the dorsoduro from now on.
Great channel, great review! Engine and chassis is perfect! But, when is Aprilia going to update the body work? Same design for several years. New color screen?
Mario Brothers looks like '20 was the word but looking like '21 model year so next year end of season I guess unless they shock everyone and pull off the '20! There's a rendering out there leaked by an ex Aprilia employee , Jsut one view but everyone's saying it's legit and Aprilia won't comment and say "it's NOT it" so looks to be real and likely very very close! It looks AMAZING!!!! Has similar lines and still a sort of 3 head light configuration still which is trasitional Aprilia but uses LEDs instead and slim Lights, has a smaller cannard than the Factory Rsv4 but looks so cool, same stink bug short tail concept, and based directly from the new rsv4 being designed side by side,..it's going to. Give the new Ducati v4 Streetfighter and the new S1000R M a run for its money for sure!!!! Tho I'm loving the leaked MT10 update too and excited to see what KTM does in response to all these hypernakeds what a glorious day we live in huh?
17:37 thanks, I've just spat tea all over the table in an M&S restaurant and am now bathed in the disapproval of about twenty pensioners
best tuono review I've seen so far, would've liked to see such a review from the 1290 SDR
'agricultural in comparison.' 'screams for Satan'. LOL! Love it! Where else but 44Teeth do you hear words like this on a motorcycle review?! 'Bending over and taking a '??????'? What? Must be British slang. Also love the 80's arcade game sound effects.
I don't like their language, its childish and uncooth and spoils otherwise good reviews.
like a flea riding a dog's ball bag HAHA!
When Fagan and the guy in the one piece in front of him started doing wheelies at the same time made this video even better, "he wheelie, I wheelie"
I wish they would release a version of the Tuono factory with the RSV4 factory colors..
Agreed...
I think, this is your best video to date and that is my dream bike! I have a 2016 Kawasaki Z1000, but would love to have this bike someday!
"Like a flea riding a dogs ball bag" LOLLLL! I've been doing the cruiser thing since my 1098 got totaled a decade ago. Currently on an Indian Springfield. Good for what it is (2 wheeled couch) but I fucked up and went to the COTA GP this year and saw all the bikes. Been thinking about something more sporty to add to the garage ever since. Wife says I can get any bike I want in 3yrs when I retire. Back can't do a super bike anymore, but this! this thing is a gem! better riding position for my back, plenty of go, plenty of braking power, gadgets to keep me from doing dumb shit (prob do it anyways). Good review man! I think this is the one
Great review - good to hear they have not put a fuel gauge in - my Aprilia Tuono 2007 does not have one and I don't want one - it has about 00.000000000001% significance when deciding to buy this bike!
“It’s an immaculate conception” 🤣🤣🤣❤️
italy is so freakin beautifull , just look at it , the weather the scenery the roads , why do we live in noprthern europe
I do :P
Go to Naples it's a fucking dump !!!!
FYLINGDALE FLYER Been there, loved it
@john vento Cinque Terre?!?! e' in Liguria.
This video is 44 Teeth at its best. Looks like an epic bike too 👌🏻
Fantastic roads around Trento, well fantastic roads anywhere within hundreds of miles within that spot. Enjoy 🤙🏼
Yeah, the Trento - Bondone part is the best one. Every summer a very important hillclimb race is held. For this reason you can find curbs
On Monday I pulled the trigger on a brand new 2018 factory. This is a machine of beauty. I didn’t think the extra 2k usd was worth it for just a suspension upgrade. Nevertheless I LOVE THIS BIKE!!!
What an environment to ride in, I really wish I had a down blipper and cruise control on mine but they don't offer blue any more, so I will probably keep my 2016 RR another year, Awesome video and keep up the amazing videos!
I appreciate how great these bikes are but I finally took it off the list of potentials for my next bike for a few reasons. 1) Dealerships are too much of a hassle. 2) I watch the used bike market in a few areas pretty closely and I see the same Tuonos for sale for months. No one wants them. 3) I never see these bikes out riding around with high mileage. Not anywhere. Most motorbikes are just toys, not necessities, but Aprilias are complete money pits. Once you buy it, it's yours and you are probably never getting anything out of it. A few years of enjoyment and then a lot of expensive maintenance. I can buy a Yamaha, BMW, Honda, or even a Ducati, ride it for awhile and still sell it for a decent amount. Journalists can orgasm over them all they want but it's just a bad choice for anyone without lots of excess money. There's a reason the bike reviewers who have so little bad to say about these bikes don't own one themselves.
It sucks to say, but your arguments are very subjective to where you live. Yes, Aprilia's dealership network isn't ideal, but the long term cost of these bikes won't be considerably more than your typical BMW or Ducati. I guess I'm very lucky to live within 20 km distance to 3 separate dealers that sell Aprilias because these Tuonos and even RSV4 are selling like hotcakes around here. Also, these tuonos don't last long on the used bike market because they're very desirable. So yeah, if there aren't many dealerships with Aprilias around you, it's not that great. However, if it's the opposite case, it would be hard to pick any other bike in the same class over Aprilia. Especially after a test ride.
@@Unblockable That's good to hear. Would love to own one of these one day. Road a 2016 recently and it was incredible. But like you said my arguments are pretty applicable to where I live. One day that may change tho. Maintenance wise, you're probably right relative to Ducati but with BMW I have much more confidence in longevity albeit more expensive maintenance.
@@beanwithbaconmegarocket Yeah, it all depends on which dealer is more convenient for you in terms of support. In my area, the most expensive bikes to own (from experience and friends) are KTM, Ducati and BMW. I really hope Aprilia continues to grow so more people can experience their bikes.
It just keeps getting better.
None of my bikes have a fuel gage. I dont have time looking on my display with the wild roar of that V4.
Seeing the fuel gage drop would ruin the fun.
Literally spat my coffee all over my phone after the foreskin comment. Cant be having that! 😂
@16:27 You aren't being objective because what constitutes the best engine ever? The best sounding engine? The engine that is cheap to maintain? The engine with the best powerband?
Hey Mr Fagan! You're riding the roads me and my Superduke like the most 😀
Luckily I don't live too far away from there and when I need an escape I can FASTLY go there to chill out and... bend the SD
I have one of these latest 2022 one in a couple weeks AL,, I bet that was a memorable day for sure epic, I’m heading down that way in august and look forward to those roads 👌
I've got the '16 RSV4 RF.......best bike I've ever owned. Easily. I've owned about 10-15 sport bikes since 1986.......ZX-7, GSX-R, CBR, Ducati........The RSV4 RF has the right sound, fueling, suspension, styling........everything. I'd imagine the Tuono is the same.
Where was this video shot ? That’s some nice scenery

Great review Al Fagan 👍🏻 21min 31 sec “bury that bastard deep in the corner “ , 15min 56sec “Riva Del Garda Riva Del Boner “ .I love the commentary. I test rode one after watching this review, just considering used 2019 or wait for the 2020 in matte black and carbon with fluorescent red and green “Atomico Racer”, my heart says Atomico , bank balance says used 2019 in “Super pole “ colours. First world problem. Poor bastard.
So the perfect upgrade from a 765 triple? V4 is the win.

Do I need to trade my speed triple RS for this now?
Only if you want the best road bike for the road 😉
DamnYourUserNameMachine Yes
The most beautiful machine in the world !!!
Nice quote, John Travolta! Fantastic review! I do envy you a bit for riding such a great bike in those twisties though...
Nice riding 👌also nice to see neevesy sliding and wheeling at the front. I have the tuono V4 1100 Factory 2016 model. Easily the best bike Ive ever owned.
Is that Michael Neeves @ 4:43
Yes, the legend
Yes, he pops up in a lot of their review videos as they all attend at the same time.
I'm in love with mine (2016 factory) such an epic bike
iTxip I almosttttttt bought a '17 Factory but no Aprilia dealer within 1,400 miles of me so I worried about service and of course there's so many variations on the reliability question and honestly I don't know anyone that's owned one so I have NO idea of its true or BS. So I went MT10 at the launch ; half the price but obviously no Ohlins , Brembos etc etc ,..if I'd had a dealer a lot closer I'd of.boufht the Factory.
How has t been honestly? It's the greatest naked ever for sure! This new '19 1100 with the E adjustable Ohlins is nuts too,..man I'd love one. Really curious about how they ACTUALY are reliability wise FROM AN OWNER OF One! Not some BMW fan boi they hates Aprilias and says their crap. lol I want to know from Aprilia owners. 👌
It is the best roadbike money can buy ! Glad I still have the 2016 factory ..;-)
That’s what a review should be! It makes me want one..
Great review Al , it’s a brave man who rides “ commando “ whilst the temperature is at optimum for skiing ! Hope it didn’t chaff too much ?
Great review I love my 2018 tuono factory it’s a weapon ,one of the best sounds ever 😍😍
I'm going down that area next month! Is there a map of the ride you did, please??
Holy crap I LOvE the always aggressive behavior during testing that u have with Neevesy! Lol always anhorn honk, a wheelie, a skid , some swerves lol I love it!
Hm. I'm great at wheelies but recently bought this bike and tried to clutch up wheelie. I disabled wheelie control, traction control but nevertheless the bike cuts power after I make clutch up. In the first part of wheelie it does not go up. Strange. Powerwheelies are ok in 1st 2nd and 3rd. What is happening? Im able to put any other 1000cc bike in to balance point at reaching 60-70 kmh. Please comment.
So jealous while I'm at work and you're out there. Love my 19 Tuono, was great fun around nurburgring which I uploaded last week. Fuel gauge for me is the trip computer, light comes on every 100-110 miles. Only gripe is that poxy joystick on left side which is a pain with gloves on. Such a good bike though
That orange guy ahead of you seems to be a little bit crazy😉👍🏻
That has to be one of my favorite motorcycles I'm a little personal because I own the 2016 model but out of all my super nakeds that is my favorite
5UP how's maintenance and reliability on the '16? Almost bought one before going MT10 becaue is heard not great but there's always haters, love to know from an owner . So yours is the 1000 right? Went 1100 in '17?
@@MZ-bl6wg How tall are you? I test rode the Aprilia Tuono Factory in 2018 but I felt so cramped ! I ended up with an MT10 last year. I am really delighted with it. Plenty room for my legs and I am not that tall ! (179cm) I am in love with the MT10. But ! I would reckon if I could cope with the ridin position the Tuono Factory is bonkers I mean absolutely bonkers ! CP4 I am in love but the V4 is unreal and so powerful ! The two motors are unreal ! Cheers mate. Btw the reliability of the V4 is not a problem anymore I heard...
