People sleep 😴 on aprilia so much and they make some of the best machines in the world. Love ❤ my 21 rsv4
I'm sure the big wigs at Ducati aren't sleeping on Aprilia.
But take half a year to send me oil filters 🤦🏾♂️, piaggio is a big company and aprilia is a little one lol
Noone is sleeping on aprilias they just cost a shitload lol...
I don’t think they are slept on, people love the look, sound, Power and handling, however their reliability sucks. I’ve seen way too many motors pop that were sub 10k mileage motors. My only complaint.
Reliability issues and difficulty getting parts in lately are why my local dealer stopped carrying them
Just got a rsv4r. The v4r motor is unbelievable with a full exhaust. It feels & sounds like your riding a small block v8. It is the first bike ive had that literally will throw you off
rsv4rf? Cuz the V4r is a ducati :) think u only need to change the cannister tho cuz the catalyst is in there.
He is right, it is also the first bike i have had that will throw you off the back if you are not focussed.
RSV4 is the most aggressive bike stock hands down.
We want to hear this beast with an SC PROJECT exhaust please🤗🤗🔥💪🔥
Trust me it's beautiful
@@markfigueroa1681 i know loud ASF 😅😅
I’ve had an SC on my Aprilia for weeks now and it will never get old. The downshifts, the raw sound.
The SC1-R sounds beautiful on this
@@mooiboyace Best $800 ever spent for sure.
You almost HAVE to buy an Aprilia V4 engined bike just for ithe sound !!!
If you got the money, I wouldn't doubt lol. I liked the H2 a lot too, but this V4 sound can't be beat. Also a "hypersport" bike like H2 isn't ideal, like it's heavier and those crazy speeds u can't rly use it on normal roads. I think the Tuono would have my preference, mainly cuz of the different handlebar.
About time you rode a big boy Aprilia!
This is the only bike that power wheelies a bit third gear stock and I'm a bit a of chonker. And that's with a smooth roll on, no body swinging or suspension bouncing. Neither the V4S nor the S1K nor the R1M does that stock.
You have it in the 6th level of automatic traction control (ATC) and your automatic wheelie control is also on (AWC)....modes showing across the bottom of the gauge screen is probably why it isn't aggressive as you'd expect. There are tons of custom options in the sub menus for fuel and throttle mapping, traction control, wheelie control, ABS, it can even be programmed to automatically use the rear brake to combat wheel spin.
I THINK you can also customize the gauge screen to show a fuel gauge and other different info.......you just have to be stopped and have the bike in neutral to set everything up .... It's a safety feature so you're not messing with it while you're riding.
Yammie Noob has a Tuono V4 with an Austin Racing exhaust on it and it sounds ABSOLUTELY GLORIOUS!!!! If you want a super naked go for it or a KTM Super Duke!!!!
yup, ATC needs to come down or even off, with that ATC level on my Tuono it restricts the power severly
Not that it's that big deal or anything but just so you know it's,
Aprilia Wheelie Control
Aprilia Traction Control, not automatic anything.
If you we're to be talking to an Aprilia service person or Aprilia Rep they wouldn't know what you we're saying.
And as far as HP goes I think I've heard a few people on RUclips say the non-factory edition like he's riding here only has 189.9 horse power and the factory edition has 217. But even that amount wouldn't be noticeable I wouldn't think, like you I'm thinking his settings aren't the best. Severely limited for sure!
The streetfighter v4 with the ducati upmap would be a sweet new bike
upmap? it's very powerful yes but it looks pretty bad. for V4 the Aprilia still sounds best. I'd take a Tuono over ducati streetfighter.
You gotta get it into a canyon, the chassis on aprilias with that motor.....
Top notch, shame you don't see more
My 14 pulls in the first 3 gears like crazy. Road mode definitely makes the release of the throttle easier on you. Easily snatched up after WC is turned off
I have just got a 2021 Tuono herein the uk & running it in 7,000rpm it’s so smooth and it’s awesome,I can’t wait for full power fantastic bike ,why isn’t everyone on a Aprilia lol great video 🏍🏍🎉🎉👍
The design team has done something great
Those bar end sliders are so dope and the winglet mirrors 🔥🔥🔥
Wait till you feel it with a proper flash and exhaust, WC/TC off, it’ll make your S1K feel like a 600, promise that. Do another review once there done
Lollll... ummmm.. no it won't. You obviously haven't ever owned or ridden either bike
@@hnic72 Not saying you havent, but it makes me curious, have you ridden both bikes?
Actually bud you are def wrong lol i owned a s1k and sold it to get a rsv4 and now the rs is my track bike lol the rsv4 makes more power yes.....but literally within 5hp
oof idk bud my '10 s1k stage 2 brentune, -1 front still gives gen 5 zx10's a run for their money.
Definitely will not make another 200+hp liter bike feel like a 600. Lmao.
its soo smooth beacuse the power delivery......and linear, which makes it a very safe bike actualy
Very safe if you can control yourself. It's very hard to play nice on that machine :D
6:02 was about to say damn so smooth😁🔥🔥🔥🙌🏼 awesome Bike 👌🏼
Best bike I’ve ever rode.
If you want to try a Tuono 1100RR, it has the same feel but in the Hyper Nekid class. Hit me up and come on over to College Station or when I bring it to AF1 for the next service. I have all the mods on mine. The Tuono isn't as fast as the RSV4 but that torque is amazing.
Honestly, I feel like this is the most gorgeous slept on liter bike!! 😍❤️
slept on = supersport? i would prefer the naked version i think, more comfortable to ride.
@@bekeneel Yep, for a super sport. I think Its probably slept on because of its SUPER PRICE 😂. For long term comfort I definitely agree the Super Naked is probably a lot better.
You can find older ones for crazy cheap. I got my 2018 as a year-old leftover in 2019 and paid $15,400 OTD! Granted, it’s the RR with the 999cc engine but for the price of a standard GSXR it couldn’t be beat. Plus it’s got all the features like the TFT gauges, cruise control,pit limiter, steel braided brake lines, Brembo master cylinder and M50’s. The Factory was $10k more and just added the 1100cc engine but my bike is way faster than I could ever need to begin with. Just went over 9700 miles today (it had 7 miles when I bought it) and have had precisely zero issues so far. Not looking forward to the 12k mile valve check service though.
Fell in love with Aprilia a few years ago and these things are so beautiful
These things are such badass bikes I had the opportunity to ride one recently--- just wish they were mechanically bulletproof like a BMW or Japanese bike. Everyone I know has issues with them, the guys who really love them know how to work on them to reduce costs for little things here and there.
I got chills from the thumbnail
switching over to the "Race" modes really just changes the display layout and allows pit limiter and lap timer
I love my rs 660. Aprilia knocked it out of the park with that bike
Looks like you're on the 130, love that highway. 85 MPH speed limits! Without the bike being tuned/ECU flashed the powerband is no where near as good. In order to meet the EURO 5 requirements it's toned down a ton. Tone down the ATC and AWC settings and tune the bike and your mind will be blown.
I just got my SC Project CR-T exhaust in yesterday, just need to be the Race ECU and throw them on my 2021 RSV4.
Didn't he say this bike already had race ecu?
Brent on an Aprilia?! Hell yeah!!
Love my 21 RSV4 I came from a 2014 R1 and its night and day between the two. I am currently in search for Aftermarket Exhaust and thinking about arrow for my bike. will post a video once I get it
Love the videos. Stay safe with the daily 100’s.
I’ve heard the restrictions in first gear are more severe on the new Aprilias. I want one but I’m already committed to my 21 R1
R1 is way better anyway brother! Aprillia ugly AF!!
badass1g u sound like a 🤡
if it go to the power and looks igo for R1, if in brand of bikes i'll go aprila or ducati
@@jcntlls Ducati and Aprilia literally have a WHOLE lot more power than R1. wdym?
@@badass1g It’s literally faster both in power, top speed and on track .. You obviously have no clue what you’re talking about
Most bang for the buck. No need for more expensive FACTORY VERSION. Super Duke still has the most horsepower/torque up till 9500 per dyno charts including Streetfighter V4, and Kawasaki H2. Aprilia best sound of a V4. Streetfighter has a Big Bang V2 sound.
Short summary: “very smooth, ridiculous, crazy, wow.”
Those mirrors 😍
Aprilia = unique beast ❤️
Those Cinematics 🔥
Definitely would love to see the H2 on this channel!
Lookin at the special edition Rs 660! Such a gorgeous looking and sounding machine!! 🔥
You pulled 160mph in 4th gear lmao
The sport / track mode keeps the engine power delivery on L2 so you have to manually change it so it gives you full engine mapping. This is why you didn't feel any difference. Full engine mapping is unreal.
"This hole is so tight I can't see anything."
Every man's dream.
Dope video mann. Makes me want to buy a RSV4. Even if i have one in the garage. Need a another one, ill tell the wife I won it in a raffle. 😂😂😂
The bike is choked up by the electronics. I do not recommend doing this if you are not comfortable riding the bike. Remove wheelie control, then slowly step down traction control. The bike is choked by these settings to prevent wheel spin or the tire picking up. Once you take it off it is strictly raw.
Wow what a motorcycle! Great video, hope all is well.
Dude that color grading is just amazing. Could you PLEASE manage to do a video or something like that on RUclips or on Instagram somehow? I would really love to know
nice bike and feedback. Thanks.
dream bike!
Motonosity… if only one bike to choose for weekends ride, s1000 or rsv4?
Best sounding bike
Love my 21' Tuono V4 Factory, SC Project CRT already ordered and waiting, ready to flash it with my UPMap t800+ and toss on a custom Gabro Racing map.
The flash really makes a HUGE difference and hoping to get the stage 3 airbox kit asap.
Extremely good visuals. Tutorial please. Looks fluid.
That bike needed the race ECU because of the Rizoma mirrors. After reading up on the race ecu... I'm gonna go with the upmap option.
nice movie. enjoyed watching.
pretty sure race mode sport and street have the same power. the difference is the engine braking.
That settles it. I am marching my ass to the aprilia dealer.
after the r1 and bmw s1000rr this aprillia must be like riding a bicycle
🤡🤡🤡
@@richlawrence1169 🙉🙉🙉
Lol what? This stock Aprilia already is as fast as fully tuned S1k, wait for the proper setup and watch RSV4 skywalk.
@@kestrel3509 yes but comparing aprillia to either is like comparing a vague wish for something salty to a heroin addiction 🤣
Many thanks for this review.
I have watched this video twice… and it’s seems the 13mins feels like a 5mins video.
sell the r1 and get this holy shit this sounds amazing!
R1 is better
@@jctv-sq4qd It’s not unless you mean in price
@@jctv-sq4qd 😂😂😂
I love this bike
The R1 is way more restricted than a S1000 off the showroom floor. R1 stock makes like 160hp and the s1000 makes in the 180-190 range.
That's just comparing one point on the horsepower output. It completely ignores all the restriction that happens throughout the powerband. I own both bikes. Trust me, the RR is restricted way more.
@@motonosity I understand what you're trying to say but If the R1 tops out at 160hp and the RR tops out at 190hp, The RR wins any type of race any day with all other things equal. I've seen both bikes on the dyno back to back and there is literally nowhere the R1 shines more in stock form than the RR.
Race ‘ECU’ map is so you can run an aftermarket exhaust without cats. 👍
The race ecu is only for the American market to have indicators built in the headlights like the rest of the world
I really love the sound of that BEAST when I hear it personally with aftermarket exhaust!! fan from PHILIPPINES! more power on your channel!
How is seating position comparing to s1000rr please?
R u in Austin. Head out to Marble Falls and show some skills. Anybody can twist a throttle on the freeway.
Hmmmm...I've always wanted a Hayabusa but this is tempting. Any idea what the reliability is like?
What is your mic settings?
We want to see that beast at dyno as a stock and then put only a link pipe and muffler and dyno again.
I'm planning on buying the 2015 rf version but I don't really know the difference with the 2021
A lot...to get closer look for a '17+
From 15-21 there are major major differences from the engine, electronics and obviously aesthetics.
An extra 100cc’s difference my friend
Get the latest one, it is from another another planet.
Restrictions are you running with ATC at 6 with 8 max on lame, I run my '21 Tuono ATC 1-2, 3 sometimes. AWC (Wheelie control) I have same at 2, but it does pull back on throttle at times.
AEB set to 2 is best. 3 is nill and 1 is almost smacking your nuts into the tank when off throttle. But 2 is perfect. AEM should be 1 for max throttle response.
You could have ridden mine back in Dec. when I was at AF1 Racing.
My 2019 is a beast!
Isn't it weird it has a race ecu but still the stock exhaust? I thought with a racing ecu u needed to get rid of the catalyst at least. But for this bike it's in the cannister I heard.
not bad at all mr klauck very nice bike indeed
how are you reducing the wind noise so much at those speeds? I have the same mic and cam setup and have all of my intake and exhaust vents closed but can't get that quality lol.
Hey Motonosity I just moved to Austin TX and I really need to find a shop that specializes in Yamaha as mine needs some work. Do you have any recommendations?
Is the shop no longer active or something? Where am I supposed to buy motonosity gear if the link is busted?
it looks like a moto gp bike more than any other bike. the arrow looks sick
why do i feel like this is the best replacement for your s1000rr
Interesting vid. Ride safe, god bless u.
I was a little bit pissed when they sent me the limited edition rsv4 ad after I just bought my 21 zx14r
I have the factory model and I’m not using crazy mode.
How are the tall guy ergos compared to your other bikes?
From sitting on it I didn't like it (6'3, 34 inch inseam), better than the rsv4 but then again us tall guys don't get too many options
In my opinion the 2020 version of the rsv4 and tuono looks alot better
Is that speed reading in mph in meter console that why it is to slow?
That’s interesting the Aprilia appears to have a slower Quickshift. Is the R1 Quickshift/autoblip better?
Try out the Panigale too.
My friend has one. It’s a bad ass bike and I love love the sound. The one thing that sucks is it’s always in the shop 😖
We can say that for every brand. "My friend has one and it's always in the shop." Over 100 in our group. Bikes always in the shop.
@@ReshardsAutomotiveWorkshop My 2012 GSXR 600 and Yamaha 09 R1/2016 FZ09 never went to the shop ever. I’m just saying
@@808Affliction most modern 1000cc bikes have a issue.
MY 2001 Honda VFR has never been in the shop. 23,000 miles, still going strong! I love the V4 sound and am considering the Aprilia.
Aprilia Tuono RSV4 factory for the hyper naked?
Nice bike man
Hey Motonosity, Great video. Which bike, S1000RR or RSV4, allows you to be less "bent over" when riding upright, when casually cruising?
s1000rr especially k67 version is much much more comfortable for cruising, rsv4 is a track focus
@@mohdnazmi9168 which one is K67?
I hope you drive a new gsxr 1000 one day
Do these have a decent fuel gauge by any chance ??
Throw it in sport mode call it a day
Hey man, have you done a video comparing the r1 to the s1000rr in your current iteration? Other than the full carbon I'd be modding the bike almost exactly how you have and I'm curious to hear your thoughts now that we have the tuning and in regards to service and reliability and ease of working on them.
Sound have backed down the wheelie and traction control, these operate almost undetected but do restrict the power and how savage the RSV is.
Nice video mate🤟
Great video 👍
Compared to my 2017 Tuono V4 it looks kinda tame usually 1, 2, 3 it’s just wants to wheelie i think the more torque on the Tuono really makes the power delivery more fun
Tuono comes with a smaller front sprocket as well which helps with wheelies
2021 RSV4 1100 has the same torque as the Tuono, they dont make the 1000 anymore
@@mohsinsyed144 I mean through the lower rev range they do have similar peak torque but the tuono has a camshaft more ground for lower end torque
@@jakecole3646 youre right, the wheel/final torque is more on the Tuono and as a consequence top speed is less than the taller geared RSV4
@@mohsinsyed144 I also had not looked into the 21 rsv4 and completely missed the 1099cc redesign so you where right to begin with
The panigale or street fighter will be closer if not more than the S1K in power.
race ecu = Better fuel map for Decat slip on . Basically it an Akra Map
The race ecu is purely for the indicators in the headlights rather than the mirrors for the American market, there is no race ecu from aprilia for the 2021 generation due to Euro laws
@@jasonarndt1789 False not just for that .
This is the fully featured/ full power RACE ECU for RSV4. All rider aid functions are retained, all dashboard functionality is retained, and the Pit Lane Speed Limiter is enabled. Most importantly, this is the safe and correct ecu for running an aftermarket exhaust with no catalytic converter or removing any servo's or EGR system components. ABS can be turned off for the rear wheel only. Front wheel ABS is always active
@@calRSV4 false, I work for aprilia on the new euro 5 motor it does not affect anything of such, if you read the description of the "race" ecu on AF1 racing it states its only for the indicator, previously it affected majority of what you mentioned besides pit limiter that is standard
@@jasonarndt1789 Read again , this is from af1 description for rsv4 race ecu 2021
This is the fully featured/ full power RACE ECU for RSV4. All rider aid functions are retained, all dashboard functionality is retained, and the Pit Lane Speed Limiter is enabled. Most importantly, this is the safe and correct ecu for running an aftermarket exhaust with no catalytic converter or removing any servo's or EGR system components. ABS can be turned off for the rear wheel only. Front wheel ABS is always active.
This ECU allows removal of tailight for race purposes. To remove the headlight, you will have to also purchase the headlight emulator
This ECU allows reomval of the Secondary Air Servo, The O2 Sensors, and the evap purge valve solenoid without error lights on the dashboard.
Peak power gains with this ecu are nominal; our test bikes showed between 1 and 4 horsepower peak, when used with an aftermarket exhaust. Biggest gains are in mid range rpms where power improvements were consistently 4-6 hp.
*If you have a dealer install this ECU, do not let them update the ECU/Engine map. Only updates to Dashboard and ABS module are recommended with this RACE ECU. If your dealer is not sure what this means, do not have them update anything. This warning is critical. If your dealer updates your ECU /Engine map, your bike will revert to stock mapping; there is no reverting from this: AF1 Racing does not accept returns for ECUs that have been accidentally updated. No exceptions.
Please note: This ECU disables the mirror mounted front turn signals. Instead, when the turn signal button is pressed, the RH or LH LED eyebrows in the stock headlight illuminate, depending on which way you push the turn signal switch (RH activates RH brow LED, LH activates LH brow LED).
@@calRSV4 I'm not having this, Piaggio and Aprilia briefed us as the importer that they are not making any race ecu from the factory the one af1 racing makes is in house and only affects turn signals from what they have told us, but if Af 1 has designed their own ecu to compensate for all that it would then void warranty like using the up map
Motonasty!!
How can you test a bike without taking it on a decent road?
Get a tuono v4 and you'll get hooked
That’s the bike I want
