Phenomenal news hearing about the advancements in the electronics, especially re: wheelie assist. I myself have a '15 Tuono and even with my wheelie ctrl on 1 it hammers the front wheel back down with the brake + power cut combo. This more new-BMW-style of wheelie/slide control sounds fantastic! Cannot wait to eventually upgrade to a newer model over the next couple of years, wonderful review mate!
Thanks mate for the kind and sensible comment. I totally agree with you I really can feel the difference in the 2015 electronics to 2022 electronics, things have moved on and for the right reasons too
Wow, great breakdown and on track video Abhi, thank you! Wish I could've done the same during my Aprilia trackday but for some reason the organizer wouldn't allow it 😕. You hit it right on the head with the electronics. Aprilia's seem to just only help you go faster as opposed to Ducatis' which I've heard are more intrusive and seem to "ride the bike" for you. And Aprilia has always seem to nail down the handling and chassis, even more so for this year. Much like Yamaha, they are just so much more nimble and gives you the confidence to ride those corners aggressively. But one only has to see the results currently in Motogp to know it's true. Looking forward to more videos, stay safe brother!
Brilliant comment there Eric, thanks mate. And well summarised too , I have a friend who has a V4R Ducati and he said exactly what you mentioned there and another friend with the R1 who loves the slide control, all in all I think RSV4 is the best out of the lot, just manageable power and amazing handling , thanks for watching Eric
Great video. Thanks for your effort in doing it. Those Aprilia's look great. Had an 02 RSV and really miss it. They're marmite bikes but i feel they are proper bikes and the styling is stunning. Keep up the good work mate.
Thank you very much mate for the kind words , a lot of my family live in Sacramento but I honestly have no clue on the Aprilia network in that part of the world
Hahaha, i bet you were gutted , I am glad you agree mate, honestly , insurance companies need any excuse to pull out on a claim , so better not give them any reason too
I started following this channel from the tyre videos, and I've enjoyed it ever since. Could you make a video on race electronics? Wiring harness, torque sensors, traction control strategies, etc.
I will do my best mate, I am working on another tyre video , then I will make something you recommended. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel
Great review! Love your videos! Question I ride a rsv4 Rf 2015 is there alot of difference in terms of performance between that and the newer rsv4 ( track use) Cheers 👌
@@williamgoode1832 yes I ride exactly that bike , there’s definitely difference in the power, it’s massively noticeable and the handling is similar , coming out of corners the new one is unbelievable… in terms of it being easy to manage , the power is so so manageable, it hardly feels a proper 200 bhp and over power
Another amazing video. Congratulations. Did you feel the new electronics have slide controle or can coupe with a slide with out cup the ignition to agressive
@@ChasingTenths abhi, do you think you could do one of your journalistic/interview formats for fitness+hydration+diet tips/regime viz racing/track days? Especially the hot and humid ones (like we often have here!)
Interesting video, I’ve always liked the RSVF Especially the original model with the angled megaphone exhaust 👍 I’m currently ridding A GSXR1000K2 and I find I’m just managing to prevent myself going into orbit when negotiating small roundabouts or tight U turns as the cable throttle prefers to be either on or off.
The new RSV4 models are very tame and subtle but still very ferocious. I can totally understand the on and off throttle too , I had a 2006 Suzuki which did the same . If you ever get to test ride the new RSV4, definitely try it
For sure mate , will do my best , I did have a chance to review the SP1 V4 Pani last year but I was too busy with work , will definitely do the SP2 Pani V4
You probably have mate, I was there 3 times this year and I have an endurance race there too soon , first week of September with no limits racing . Definitely say hello if you see me with a camera in hand lol
I know a few people who have both , the 18RF was a game changer , by that time Aprilia had ironed out most of the issues and I truly believe the 18 and the 19 are brilliant. the new one off course is another level. Enjoy your V4S , mould it to you , it will get better and better
Thank you for calling out people that complain about ever frikin thing. Brake pads, throttle, aero, tires, suspension. All the bs that kickstand racers cry about.
It was a mild call out ;) but had to be done lol . These bikes are manufactured not only with cost in mind but also to please people of all riding styles and ages including pillion carrying riders so people who complain about OEM stuff need to take a chill pill at times lol
I agree I really wish they had that I recently did a trackday with a 2017 L7 Suzuki GSXR and that had fuel gauge , I think the Aprilia 660RS got it too so I wonder why they don’t have it on all superbikes
did you modify your track settings or leave it in factory track settings? by the way after getting the update on my bike fixed all the issues on my bike
Best way to explain that is simply as if the engine was a low down flat twin configuration with inherently low centre of gravity , if you remember the Subaru Impreza or certain Porsche models had a very low boxer like positioned engine so cornering was brilliant. Similarly here, it feels like the centre of gravity is quite low , also on the Aprilia RSV4 you can change engine placement , there are three different positions where you can mount it or place it in the chassis for better feel & handling (but I think very advanced racers do that)
@@ChasingTenths I remember the mitzubishi evo fq being glued to the ground as you went around bend, but more like the 4 wheel steering in the Honda prelude, it turned around you.
Sorted Carl, duly changed , I had a few pics of me in the yellow bib, and I really didn’t fancy putting those pics and I found yours on google search , I didn’t know you took that pic , my apologies , if you see my videos , I only use my pics on thumbnails. That was a one off , thanks for getting in touch
Hi from Turkey, we have a Aprilia grup here one of my friend broke engine block 2021 Rsv4 factory at over 300 kmh. Did yo hear any other problem like this before?
No Onur, I never hear such serious problem. I feel really sorry for your friend , that is very unfortunate. Your Aprilia dealership should cover you under warranty

Good to see you at Cadwell. Took the Tuono out there and it was epic. Thanks TAF and Aprilia
Brilliant mate, what a lovely two days they were :)
Very nice edit, keep up the good work my friend 🙌🏻
Thank you very much my friend for the kind words :) and appreciation
Great vlog, your channel and content are both great! Ride safe 🤙

What a review 💯🔥
Thank you very much , apologies for the late reply

I would love to have a go on that RSV 02 mate , proper torquey bikes , really lovely them. Thanks for the kind words mate, much appreciated
Awesome as always Abhi, thanks for sharing, always enjoyed and appreciated 😁🏍️👍🏻
Thank you very much Gareth :)
Awesome review!!!
Thanks very much , I have done two others on the same bike.. feel free to check them out . Very detailed but worth it
Top job with this videos!!!
Thank you again mate, and commenting again
It means a lot honestly
Best review of the aprilla out their .thanks 🙏
Thanks mate, check out my other Aprilia reviews , you will be pleasantly surprised
Loving the intro new bike is epic.
Thank you mate very much
Where is Aprilia in San Diego area? Come on Aprilia, looking to do a track review myself here. Great review btw!
Thank you very much mate for the kind words , a lot of my family live in Sacramento but I honestly have no clue on the Aprilia network in that part of the world
Fascinating insights into the Aprilia. Still waiting for my lottery numbers to come up though, so I could buy one 😎
Hahaha Mark, same here mate. I am still on my 2015 RSV4 RF and loving it but would still love to own the new RSV4
Another superb video!
Thank you 🙏🏼 very much mate. Much appreciated
That abs delete thing and getting your insurance void is actually real , 🤣 I also did that few years ago but I don't do it now
Hahaha, i bet you were gutted , I am glad you agree mate, honestly , insurance companies need any excuse to pull out on a claim , so better not give them any reason too

No slide control my friend but it was very very smooth
No drama
Just superb consistency
Lovely smooth riding
Thank you very much mate
Film making chops have definitely gone up! Good stuff!
Cheers mate
New camera man smashed it 😁😁
@@gogogomez1019 hahaha, he certainly did my friend ;)
@@ChasingTenths abhi, do you think you could do one of your journalistic/interview formats for fitness+hydration+diet tips/regime viz racing/track days? Especially the hot and humid ones (like we often have here!)

WOOOOOOOOOOW AWESOME VIDEO ! ! ! ! ! ! AMAZING FANTASTIC TOP TOP TOP ! ! ! ! !
Thank you very much Yiannis
Hope you will do the same one day on the panigale v4 too!!
Would love to hear you talk about it, and also maybe compare it with the rsv4!
For sure mate , will do my best , I did have a chance to review the SP1 V4 Pani last year but I was too busy with work , will definitely do the SP2 Pani V4
nice one, im sure i’ve been on track with u at cadwell, im there a lot lol
You probably have mate, I was there 3 times this year and I have an endurance race there too soon , first week of September with no limits racing . Definitely say hello if you see me with a camera in hand lol
@@ChasingTenths ha ha, yeah i sure will, think a few of my friends are on that grid too , good luck with it 🏆
I miss my 18 RSV4 RF I ride a V4S now. Great but not the same. Id love to have both in my garage at the same time... We'll get there.
I know a few people who have both , the 18RF was a game changer , by that time Aprilia had ironed out most of the issues and I truly believe the 18 and the 19 are brilliant. the new one off course is another level. Enjoy your V4S , mould it to you , it will get better and better

If the bike is in engine level 1 the throttle is very aggressive… but in engine level 2 its perfect and still gives you full power.
Totally agree, very well said mate
Great video
Thanks Bertie , much appreciated mate
still no fuel gauge on that kind of bikes.... counting on km done for fuel is stupid because that depends on your way to ride it (in high rev or not).
I agree
I really wish they had that
I recently did a trackday with a 2017 L7 Suzuki GSXR and that had fuel gauge , I think the Aprilia 660RS got it too so I wonder why they don’t have it on all superbikes
woohoo-amazing - have a good day.;))
Thank you very much mate
did you modify your track settings or leave it in factory track settings? by the way after getting the update on my bike fixed all the issues on my bike
Brilliant mate, I am so glad your issues are resolved , I think the wheelie control was 1 , traction control was 4
And it was on race mode mate
@10:30 do you mean the turn is on the spot so you feel the front and back rotating on you?

@@haiderali-wn1sn well said mate
Bike looks sweet in Black/Gold.. but 1st gear corners 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
OEM gearing is long geared mate but bike was very stable in 1st gear , very smooth fueling
this bike does not like to be under 5000rpm and I often also use first gear in corners
Crazy long gears on this bike
