If wrongness is close to godliness then Saint Peter ain't got nothin' on me. I used to think there was nothing special about the Aprilia Tuono V4 Factory, but boy was I wrong. But hey, I'm sure people down in the comments are telling me I'm wrong about being wrong, and I was right when I was wrong because they have a different bike and it's the bestest one ever made. Sharpen yon pitchforks and light ye torches! How come we can't have a civilized discussion with anyone anymore? I could ramble on and on about tribalism on the internet, but then what's the point... If you're still reading at this point tell me what your favorite kind of sandwich is.

If you had to choose one hypernaked which one would you get?
Super Duke death spear 😂
Ducati Streetfighter V4.
The original supernaked, the gen 1 Aprillia Tuono Racing (which I have) ohlins brembos carbon everything lightweight OZ wheels 990 rotax 130 Hp and no riders aids. It’s a beauty and much more engaging to ride than the V4.
S1000R gen 3 , test it , you will not regret it
Tuono V4 factory…… maybe a zh2
If you're worried about gas, this isn't the bike for you. Holy Shit Moments per gallon is the the true V4's metric.
the numbers are surprising though, I ride my ZX10r like it's stolen but still average 37 mpg
I don’t agree with this statement. I want to ride not stop at gas stations every 45 minutes
Many fun moments tho. I agree with that
I love my 23 TuonoFactory (speedWhite). I’m old, short & hate the gas mileage. But man-O-man, the smile I get after every ride, makes it worth it 1000%! Ride safe fam & keep the videos coming!!!
Imo, best sounding V4 engine in motorcycling, possibly a contender for the best sounding engine ever.
^^^^ this. All of this.
🎯
Great bike but sorry, have to disagree. My 5th gen VFR I think eeks this one out
@@timothyer2447 I have a 6th gen VFR, and I absolutely love it and don't think I could replace it with anything. But the Aprilia V4 sounds better.
I’ve got the Ducati Streetfighter V4 and it’s the best sounding (stock) exhaust I’ve ever had. But yes, I agree that the Tuono V4 is the best sounding (stock) bike I’ve ever heard.
I bought a tuono v4. I left a comment previously about seeing you at AF1 while looking at a rs660, I ended up buying a tuono v4 2 weeks later
2022 Factory here. Added Akra exhaust, Shorty levers, Rizoma mirrors and tuned. Keeping this bike forever. Fast, comfortable, amazing looking with the black and gold factory colorway. Keeping it forever.
I’ve got the Tuono 660. How’s bad does the heat coming off the engine feel?
@@GregMontoya1
"While riding, the bike doesn't generate excessive heat, which is quite comfortable. However, it does tend to warm up a bit quickly when stationary at a crossroad or traffic light. Despite this, due to the bike's construction, the heat buildup isn't too noticeable or uncomfortable. As long as you're moving, regardless of the temperature, the bike performs just fine. For instance, even in Norway's relatively moderate temperatures, around 18-20 degrees Celsius, it can feel a bit warm, but it's again its a minor inconvenience.
@@GregMontoya1same here but RS660. You have to shut off the bike every 2 hours as per the owner’s manual. Yup 👍🏽
Had a 2018 Tuono, stopped by the dealer to check this same exact bike out and well walked out with it. Have had it for a little over a week and absolutely love this bike. Won’t be going anywhere, I’ll be adding to it.
If I ever bought a motorcycle again this would probably be it.
I love my Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello. It has many of the fun aspects of the Aprilla with a more sensible level of comfort and performance. It has more power than I can use and still gets good (over 50 mpg) fuel economy. The switch gear and electronics is much the same and is really quite easy to use. The Italian styling, like the Aprilla is on another level.
This was actually on my shopping list when I got my Tuono V4 RR. Beautiful bike, but in person it actually looked a lot more "sensible" than in the photos. Since there was no opportunity to test ride it (or the Aprilia, for that matter) I had to buy on specs and reviews alone. Finally I let my girlfriend decide between the two, and she chose the Tuono. Yes, on looks alone. Not sorry at all, but I would definitely consider the Mandello again.Everyone - including Spite - seems to love it.
Glad you revisted this bike with an open mind, it is absolutely fantastic and I said the same thing when I first got mine, it's like a magic carpet.
I love my 22' Factory so much. It is without a shred a doubt the most fantastic motorcycle I will ever own.
I own a 2020 factory. It's such a fun bike and have done 6hrs in the saddle in a day without too much fatigue. For me the Aprilia price point, exclusivity and performance is hard to beat.
Your reviews are among the best on UA-cam I always enjoy watching them
Base model is surprisingly good value for entry into the v4 party. Also, comfier economics, pillions actually are okay jn the back, and the savings go straight into tires and gas!
Had a chance to ride my friend’s Tuono V4 back to back with my 2021 MT-09SP. Amazing motorcycle. And I agree with your sentiment regarding the ergonomics. I’m a shorter rider 5’8” with a 29” inseam. The position of the rear sets had my short legs cramped.
But it is an amazing machine.
I love my 09 Tuono Factory. It lacks the electronics and the V4, but the Rotax v-twin is a blast
Im on 4th year on my 18 tuono factory, still wouldnt change it for any other naked. Love it.
2019 Tuono factory here, about 8k miles / year.
100% Get the Factory for street use!
Suspension, its MAGIC on the street in A1, I put it in M1 for track.
Track use, Have the suspension tuned, guys that are 190+ will need ALL of the preload the front has to offer with stock springs and put it in Race or Track mode to lessen the engine breaking.
Gas milage, I fill up at 80 miles, but can get well into the 30 mpg @ 80-100 mph crusing on the highway.
I do the same thing with my feet on long trips, putting my heals on the pegs to give my legs a stretch from time to time (I also have more aggressive rearsets)
Brakes, you mentioned them, the brembos are fantastic on this bike!
Cruise control, just stick it in 4th, even at 40mph the bike has PLENTY of low end to manage just fine, fun fact, you can set the cruise at 140+ also ;)
Rider aids, Launch control is FUN AF, the TC and WC work really well together to hang the front tire about 2" off the ground. TC is pretty non intrusive, but it is more aggressive and predictive when the bike is leaned over, it won't let you out drive the tires while still leaned over, more lean = less throttle allowed. all things together make it a really confidence inspiring bike.
Maintinance, 4L of Motul 300v is going to make oil changes cost you about $100 with filter and you can't run cheaper chains, 530 DID X-ring gold chains for life. Tires.... well, good luck with that too, Rosso 4 seem to do better in the wet than the supercoursas and last slightly longer but they are still only good for about 4500 on the street before the profile flattens out. other than that it's been a super reliable bike.
My biggest complaint!
TCS and WC lights are ANNOYING when you turn the systems off, they just blink at you while in sport mode (the huge engine breaking in sport really saves on brakes on the street)
Side note, it has A and B trip and tracks speed on both, so just clear A for gas and keep B for max speed ;)
I have a 2019 Aprilia Tuono Factory V4 1100 and it has been flawless since the day I bought it, great bike!
Didn't spring for the Factory, but a '23 V4R. I put lowered pegs on it, popped right on and made a big difference to my knees by dropping things a bit over an inch. Has been the most enjoyable ride I've ever owned. Sounds heavenly, plenty of get up and go, and never been more comfortable tackling corners on anything else.
Spite I own the 2021 V4 1100 Factory which is identical to yours, except the NZ model doesn't have front exterior turn signals fitted (no requirement in NZ) but has the integrated LED's in the headlight. It has the eye catching Black and Red colour scheme which I just love. I previously had a 2021 Yamaha MT-10SP (from new) which I had the ECU tuned and an Akrapovic slip-on and K&N filter. I traded the Yamaha in on the Aprilia last year (2023) and what struck me was that I had essentially gone up to the apex level of hypernakeds from the second rung down. My best mate rides a 2020 KTM 1290 SDR and he commented how much harder he has to ride to keep up with me now (he is a better rider than me). Also I find that I hardly use the front brake anymore as the engine braking is so much more effective the MT-10 which has hardly any engine braking and you need to be constantly on the front brake in twisty road conditions. I just love the bike, the power is amazing, to be honest I couldn't use anymore despite it "only" being 175hp, if you look closely at the torque curve it is superior to a Streetfighter up to about 9000rpm but signs off earlier. I ride all day every day in the midrange anyway so a bike that peaks at 13500 RPM would be a waste for me on NZ roads with our very low speed limits. To conclude I'll never own another bike, I'll buy another one when this one gets too old which may be never at this rate!
Love my Tuono Factory - sometimes she can be quite challenging but would never give her away! With a new ECU mapping she also manages low speed and revs!
I think the Aprilia is very cool, my biggest issue is the distance between dealers. For me personally I would have to travel 220 miles for my nearest dealer, and if I didn't like that dealer the next closest is 350 miles away.
I test rode one of those at the Aprilia Racer Day and they gave it to me with all the traction / wheelie controls turned off. I spent a good minute in the pits turning it back on because I DO NOT trust myself that much
That suspension is one of the reasons why you loved the MG V100 Mandello so much as well. Just saying ;)
The semi active Ohlins is a marvel of engineering.
i feel like you've changed up your format a little bit, and I really like it. Maybe it was just how this video came out. Either way, love the channel, like how genuine you seem, am still skeptical about cfmoto, and love your content. thnx dude.
2016 Aprilia tuono v4 factory 1100r it was awesome silver stone colour. Eye catching I wish to afford one sooner or later
Just got my factory v4 in the yltra gold. Love the bike. Its insane even in break in mode highly recommend to anybody looking to upgrade to an 1000 cc
There is no break in mode
Gas station familiarity: laughs in mt10sp
Edit: yeah, you can get better mileage on either if you ride it like a grandma, but... Nobody buys these bikes planning on riding them that way.
Laughs in..... Is it still 2019?
Uneven firing four-cylinder engines have a little problem called PUMPING LOSS in the crankcase. Something about nowhere for compressed gasses to go (to adjacent cylinder) when pistons go down. Compared to the even-firing inline-4 counterparts that make the SAME POWER, the uneven fours make about 8-10 mpg less.
Laughs in ZH2
I absolutely love the Tuono. I have the 2023 MT-10 with LeoVince exhaust and tuned and it’s got great power and ergonomic and comfy, but the Tuono is on another level. Unfortunately maintenance costs and parts are expensive, so I opted out, but don’t regret my decision. My MT has more power than I could ever possibly handle. If I had the chance, I would definitely have a Tuono in my stable.
I had an 07 Tuono, and it was hands down the best motorcycle I have ever owned... If I were to do it again I would get the Tuono Factory.. Just because..
Had my 2007 for 4 years now, still love it. It's a simple brute. I keep thinking about getting another bike, but every time I go out and ride this thing, it brings a smile to my face. Didn't think it'd be very reliable since I only paid £2900 for it. But I've put some miles on it, been to Chimay on it several times and in the next couple of months off to the Picos mountains in Spain.
Would love a V4 but don't know if I can stomach paying £8k+ for something that I only get to ride half the year. . . . even less this year thanks to it just constantly raining.
Jeez... I couldn't get it out of 1st gear :D :D What an expert! Crusing around at 50... Kudos..
Just looking at those rearsets makes my knees cry.
Just bought one! This thing rocks!
Hey Spite. It was a pleasure meeting you at MSRH last weekend. Whenever youre in Houston let us know, we would love to take you to try out mini moto.
My Tuono Factory 1100 is my favorite bike I've ever ridden or owned. I'm 5'6" and manage the stock height and such just fine. I can usually get about 35mpgs even when I'm hooning.
I cannot believe….. you compared a European thoroughbred Hypernaked to a Lump of prehistoric metal that doesn’t stop or turn corners!! 🤣🤣🤣
Please don’t do it again.
Love your channel 👍🏼😉
My 2017 Tuono with upmap and akra exhaust gets 30mpg at spirited canyon pace. Im semi familiar with your riding pace from your videos so I'm shocked at 25mpg when its stock.
Did you check mpg at the screen stat readout or did you divide trip miles / galleons put in read on the pump.
I've been thinking about getting a new one so this info would be appreciated, thanks 🙏🙌
Great video
Great bike
Head says base model, basically an incognito superbike with occasional pillion ability, no electronic suspension to go wrong and a price difference to permit gold coloured passive fork upgrades if you really want
Did you find that the exhaust got in the way of your right foot at all?
I bet that’s the one that was on display at COTA in the last MotoGP race. So achingly beautiful 😍
i rode this exact same demo bike at aprilia racers day the day after motogp at cota. its a hoot. the suspension really is amazing.
It feels real good to just keep it in second. It has the torque for it and it keeps the revs down
Thanks for the confirmation bias, Spite! (‘22 V4 Factory in red/black)
love the tuono. would get the base model in white as its looks fantastic and still a heck of alot of motorcycle for your money. Solds my Ducati and bought a BMW GS but man I miss sport bikes after watching this.
You mentioned the seating position and the too far forward lean. Check out the Dave Moss video of Dave setting up Tuono 660's at an Aprilia track day. He mentioned the same comment, the bar location is set too far forward. He mentioned he would change the bar to a different style and bring the bar further back, closer to his natural riding position.
That could correct your complaint and make it a "got to have" bike ! Enjoyed the video !
Piaggio cruise control being funny sounds familiar, when i drove my V85TT back home i spend like half of the trip trying to find out how the cruise control worked, ones i did the rest of the trip was pretty nice tho.
Love my 23 Time Attack it’s the best bike I’ve ever owned!! If I had to describe mine in short words I would say it’s ALWAYS on go time! That can be good or bad depending on your personality and how you like to ride
I bought a new base model Tuono V4 the first week of April, and already have 1350+ miles on it. And that’s not even riding to work, just coming home and jumping on it to cruise around town after work. I don’t ever want to get off of it! I’ve previously had a ‘20 GXS-S750 and ‘23 Z900, that I loved, but this bike is something special… So much fun! But, it’s a tank of gas every time I go ride, even for just a couple hours. 🤷♂️ Completely worth it, though! I did the UpTune with Gabro race tune with LV Factory S exhaust and Sprint filter, but just ordered the LV Corsa exhaust for a little more of those amazing V4 sounds.
Skyhook Is a Showa product available across several manufacturers. It would be pretty cool to see a comparison between skyhook and other OEM suspension management systems
I had 2017 Factory Tuono and it was a great bike. Akro exhaust, lower pegs, bar risers. I now own Kawasaki H2 sxse +. I do miss the Tuono though.
I bought a 2020 tuono factory for my first bike 4 years ago at 24 years old have 10k miles on it now and it's still amazing, don't need another bike
Absolute dream bike material..... but if i was going to buy one, I'd probably get the base model with the slightly higher bars and taller windshield. But the Factory IMO is one of the best looking bikes on the road currently.
It is amazing, except for the rear cylinder valve guides being junk and causing issues.
If you ride the bike hard or do track days, you need to check the valves every 6k miles or after 2 track days, whichever comes first. This issue has been around for years, and like a small Italian brand, they have neglected to address it.
I had a 2009 Factory and a 2018 RR model, but I won't own another till they develop a new motor platform and it proves itself reliable...
Absolutely love my 2013 tuono. The used tuono market is really slept on, they are sub 6k here up to a 2015. Just understand that is where the budget friendly part ends 😅.
Hello Spite, how are you doing? I just wanted to say that I finally decided myself to get my A driving license. Any suggestion on a bike to get? I rode my peugeot metropolis 400i allure for roughly 4.000 km +. 35 hp and 39 nm of torque. I was thinking about getting a motor morini seiemezzo scr or a cf moto 700 CL-x adventure. What do you think? Any cruiser ( regardless of the price) that a novice can start on? Because I was thinking about the Indian super chief limited or the Harley Davidson nightster S. Do you think is to much power? Thank you for your response, love from Italy
I AM VINDICATED! I thought the YN assessment was harsh but understandable. I have the "base" 22 RR version in Glacier White, and I've got to admit that I don't get to feel the throttle twisted all the way, and brakes are like hair triggers until you learn to lighten your touch. The bike is insanely stable, but I feel that makes it require more physical effort to flick. Once leaned in, it tracks. The RR has more of an upright position, and at 6'1, I actually think I'd prefer the more aggressive position of the factory. And because of the tight, bumpy corners in my riding area... kinda wish I had the semi-active suspension. Glad Spite gave the bike a second chance. Now, don't buy one because I enjoy being the only one on the road with a Tuono V4 and you'll kill my exclusive boojee vibe.
Them Yammie Knob videos come out at a rate of like 1 per day, and most of the time I got the feeling a lot of it was saying meaningless stuff to pump out "content" and fill air time.
@@skymningforelsket1302 - maybe that explains it, again, I thought the assessment was understandable but harsh. Spite says he put in 600 miles so maybe he just needed the time to learn the light touch you need to make the bike practical. I don't think about it anymore, but really, I barely twist my wrist when riding this thing. Actually, I would like a more progressive throttle map because it's really hard to isolate your wrist in complex, bumpy corners; the slightest wrist motion from a road defect can send you into the ditch.
@@carlostonebanks Indeed. I think of myself as a good rider with a lot of miles under my belt in all manner of road conditions. But these kinds of bikes are more powerful than I could enjoy. One of the most fun bikes I ever rode was a 1985 Yamaha RD350 twin 2-stroke. A 341 pound bike making 60 horsepower. Cycle World put it on the cover and called it "Yamaha's Thrill Machine" and it sure was. It's regrettable to me that for all the vast variety in bikes these days, a motorcycle that gives a riding experience like that Yamaha doesn't exist anymore.
Love the graphics on that bike
Currently riding an 08 Yamaha FZ1. It fits my riding style and I got a great deal on it. The only bike I would consider trading it in for would be the V4 Tuono.
I have an 18 Factory as my only bike. The first time i hit the twisties Magic Carpet was the first thing that came to mind as well(previous bike was a 2010 S1000RR), that active suspension is a game changer, and not only on the road feel but also on braking performance as it offers breaking support. My only real complaint of the bike is as you said ergonomics on the pegs, i am 6ft and I can barely fit the bike while attacking corners, adjustable foot pegs are a must buy. The other thing that is annoying is the trafficator switch, it has 0 feedback you dont know if it got engaged/disengaged. Also heat in the traffic might become an issue as it is it can reach over 105C easily thankfully doesnt get uncofortable, just I dont like the fact the engine gets so warm.
I adore my 22 Tuono V4 Factory.... putting ASV levers on today actually.
Weird that the Tuono has been around so long - well over a decade as a v4 - gets much praise yet seems to be underappreciated/underbought by everyone.
And tho the base model would be great for most, there's always the pull of the factory. And as it's a bike, that is a vital purchase point above even can I afford it
because it's absolutely horrendous to look at
its a great bike just not that comfy like MT10SP
I am actively getting rid of my old ZX-12R because of exactly what you laid out in this video. I’m not all that interested in going deep into the triple digits. I like power but I looked down one day to realize I was doing “go to jail” or “turn myself into a red smear” fast and it kinda scared me. After that I decided that torque is more fun than horsepower. Along side that I live near some mountains and dirt roads so I picked up an FTR rally because it was closer to what I wanted. I still want to do spirited riding and the Indian just feels like a better fit than the old super sport tourer.
I’m gonna miss the ZX but it feels kind of like riding an extremely well trained grizzly bear where if you ask it to rip off your arms, it will. The FTR will too, but it won’t also turn into a missile as easily.
I’m in love with the factory
Great video, nice bike, hope you enjoyed the Motogp races😊
It was a killer weekend
@@spitescorner considering the result, timely review. Uh. Oops. Spoiler alert.
Yeah. The Tuono is incredible,,, just a bigger tank please. Get us to at least 180 miles while hooning
I have two Tuonos, a 2003 V twin I got fresh out of the crate and a 2012 V4 I bought used. Love both of them, only problem with the 2012 is it's a 2012 with the small fuel tank. 100 miles at most between fill ups. My 03 I did 5,000 miles in the first 3 months I owned it and that was just riding around Massachusetts, NH and VT. 2012 is great, motor is awesome, chassis is great, fit and finish wasn't quite as good as the 03. But that engine, the sound, the power is amazing.
We have 5 Tuono's in the family covering every generation.
Amen, would probably do base Tuono V4 over factory and have seriously been considering this bike or ktm Duke 990. 🤔 😉
There is no sound like a V4.. My favorite bike growing up was the sound of the V65 Sabre...What a monster!
I heard a much different sounding definition of active suspension where there was no mention of "no springs" but rather that a fully active system controls not just the compression ad rebound damping but also the ride height which idk maybe that involves no springs but it was not stated how the active right height is controlled maybe it is the same finally idk
I have 2022 Tuono and when i saw your first video i thought you may be a bit not right! 😬
I thought i never find better bike after 2017 s-1000R
Ape shocked me 😱
I had a Tuono V4 1100 Factory (2019) and it was the best bike i've ever owned, the only thing that feelt off, was the engine is too big for street use,
on twisty roads i never got out of 1rst and second gear, i wish they did the exact same bike with a 800CC, that would be mind blowing.
My 2nd bike will either be this or the speed triple 1200rs.... just love both but the soundtrack on the tuono is undescribable
I've got a 21 base, and I love it. But honestly the parts and availability from the dealership is comical. I was quoted months for a rear wheel. And a piece for the valve on the exhaust was also ordered months ago and has not arrived. So just be ready for that. But when it's running it the best thing I've ever ridden.
The zh2 can be bought with active suspension if you get the Zh2 SE version like I own. It costs about $2000 over the base model and is totally worth it as long as it does not increase your insurance rate too much. When I was getting quotes I was finding it to be about 25% more when comparing the upgraded suspension model to a base, I wonder if the Tuono factory vs not factory would be similar.
Having owned a 2022 V4 factory I can say it’s a different bike before and after getting exhaust. Completely different
It’s not about the miles, it’s all about the smiles 😁🍻
You can use the cruise control in 3rd gear. I do it all the time on my way to work.
Feel the pinch behind the knees. Forget about that pinch when you rotate your right hand haha
Just got a V4 Factory, what a machine! That being said, my previous Z900 makes much more practical sense - pulls smoothly from 2k rpm, much better lock to lock for low speed maneuvers, much less headache in terms of maintenance. And yes, consumes around 20% less fuel (tested on a 600 mile trip). I'd never part with the Z900 if I was daily riding. But for ripping up the twisties in Switzerland and Black Forest the Tuono is second to none!
I can not decide between the Tuono and the Z900. I heard a lot of bad things about the tuono, like getting part's and that they have electronics issues. What are your thoughts about this, if I may ask.
@@giogio6803 haven't had much experience with the Tuono yet, no issues this far. But I do find z900 much easier to handle around town. In addition to what I mentioned previously, the center of gravity on the z900 feels quite a bit lower, making it much easier to handle in low speed situations. And the Tuono can overheat if stuck in a traffic jam, no such issues with the z900 I have/had.
@@giogio6803 Z900 is a boring motorcycle compared to Tuono. The 2021 model had som issues but easy solved with an update and the 2022 had wrong diluted coolant so they run warm but easy fixed. Had 3 Tuonos and I drive a lot and they been reliable. Parts no problem but I live in Europe.
@@giogio6803 Comparing the Z900 and the Tuono is like comparing apples and oranges. They are in different categories, so no point. The Z is a fine bike, in it's category. The Tuono is something different.
I had a new base model, it was awesome in all ways imaginable less one. I went back to Japanese for reliability. I do miss the ride and handling of the Tuono. I've been riding for over 15 years and can say that compared to various sports bikes and a couple of cruisers, the performance of the Tuono V4 is top notch. Aprilia set my performance standard where Honda set my reliability standard.
Love my 2016 Tuono...European race ECU with Arrow slip on...too loud with DB killer out lol
After what YN did to Spite, I'll never check out another video over there.
Yet no matter what it really is for spite, hearing him say yam's name without any negativity is refreshing.
I’ve owned all, currently have the M1KR and the Superduke is the best.
@spitescorner I recently traded my 2022 aprilia tuono v4 on a husky 701 sm. Loved the tuono but wasn't a fan of the overheating on hot days. Couldn't ride through cities or towns cause u would have to shut it off at red lights even with a tune that turned the fans on sooner and a exhaust. Ik alot of people have issues with this on forums did you notice any overheating?
The 2022 have wrong coolant (not diluted) from factory. Just change coolant or add water so u get a 50/50 mix and everything will be fine.
I bought my first Aprilia in 2003. Never looked back.
Aprilla: so beautiful and with a V4… great combination.
I have the '21 RR (non factory) lowered it, disconnected the flapper valve and went +4 on the rear sprocket its head to head as quick rolling on against the '24 M1000R with 200hp. Go figure.
If i ever move to the US from the UK im getting the base model because of the touring capability. I ride an RS660 here and as our roads are SO BAD I'm not going to change it. Plus the mileage on the 660 is MUCH better and with our petrol prices ($7.30/US Gall) the 1100 would just be ridiculous.
The semi active suspension is worth it!!. I sold my Mullti Strada and really miss having the magic carpet suspension. I think also that the sky hook suspension saved my bacon in a high speed emergency stop situation! I will probably trade my MG 850 V7 Special for the V100 Mondello and will definitely get the S model with the semi active suspension. MG was stupid not to offer the semi active suspension on the new Stelvio. I much rather have the semi active suspension than the radar crap.
Spite bud, you couldn't have released this at a better time. My local dealer had a deal on a leftover 2023 non-Factory model and I was heavily debating it, and between your video and taking it for a test ride...... Well, let's just say I am the proud owner of a new Pasta rocket.
To anyone on the fence, I highly encourage you to go take it for a ride. I have a couple gripes, mainly around the mirrors being kinda useless, the bike getting toasty in traffic, no under seat space, and my magnetic tank bag not sticking to the tank, but even with a shit ton of rain on the way home from the dealer yesterday and the bike still being in break in, I had a shitting eating grin on my face that I haven't had in a VERY long time. The salesman said once you ride it you won't want to ride anything else and I am inclined to agree, it is THAT good
Is a new tuono v4 coming next year ?
I had a 2021 non factory version, i sold it after a year and bought a MG V7, couldnt ride this thing since ive moved to the countryside :)
Yes sir! It was my second choice! All told I just got a Panigale! V4s, because between this and the street fighter, just get the what you really want! Budget friendlier super bike! I won’t mention what I paid!!
Dude, how does your bike not go in cruise control under 4th? Mine (2023) does it from 3rd gear. EU version, but that can't be it right??
cruise control works in 3rd...US
Great bike! When not broken down 😢
Mine was pretty reliable. But the valve maintenance oh boy
For the MPGs, I've heard the break in period on some bikes can REALLY make a difference in fuel consumption. Like THE MT-09 for example. I've heard that one gets horrendous fuel economy during break in, but changes quite drastically once that's done
Is that so?
My first few thousand km have been absolutely dogwater on fuel economy with the mt09, and I can't for the life of me figure out why
My understanding is that you'll see an improvement, but with bikes like this it might only be a few MPGs. I don't think it'll suddenly start pushing 40MPGs after more mileage. It had roughly 550 when I was filming.
@@iamcxd9782 huh... I don't have personal experience, that's just what I've heard. But I wonder if it's A LOT more dependent on just how you drive.
Weird. My '19 Tuono Factory lets you set cruise from 3rd gear.
Been wanting an RSV4 Factory for the past 10 years. It's been my dream bike. Now that I'm 38 and selling my 2014 ZX-6R ABS to upgrade to a hypernaked, it's this Tuono 1100 or the KTM SuperDuke R. Can't afford the 1390 Evo, so I'm forced to go used for the first time. I kinda want to wait and see if Aprilia updates the bike at all. It's getting a little long in the tooth. I'd love to have a Tuono 1200 V4
I don't know that it's long in the tooth. Adding more displacement nowadays is more a response to tightening emissions regulations versus power. The only thing I could seem them realistically doing is changing some of the body work
FYI I got a Tuono brand new last year for 15k out the door. It's easy to negotiate with these bikes.
saw you at msrh. wheres the footy?
Aprilias are a treasure.
Except for the 660's which threw a rod.
Where is Speed Triple stands in comparison? Can’t forget the Triumph! 😉
