I'm 68 years old 6 feet tall and I ride it every day full tanks 130 miles without stopping. I can't wait to ride it and love it on tracks. Did COTA last year the day after the Moto GP and rode all seven sessions. Had so much fun I'll be there the end of May for two days. The bike is incredible at the Tail of the Dragan but I do trailer the 630 miles to get there.
Any recommendations for keeping back and joint health into your sixties? Used to take it for granted but hitting 30 and already having an issue with disc wear that made me rethink my day to day habits. Riding isn't known to be great for your back anyway, it's something I worry about
The Tuono is for me. I'll turn 70 next year. This bike could keep me happy until the day I die. And yes it's the sound! I've had the opportunity to handle some incredible machines in my life. The relationship between my brain and my throttle hand is a well tuned thing.
Best bike ever. Can’t wait to get my 2024 Tuono V4 Factory. I had the 2018 Tuono V4 Factory for 2 years. Such an amazing bike. Did a tour of 1500 miles in 4 days, was super comfortable. This bike can do it all!
I commute on it. Hearing it called a Saturday only bike is insane to me. It’s a do it all, commute, tour, track days. Best street motor I’ve ever ridden
I've had the 19 RR model since new. Put roughly 8000 miles on it so far and it still puts a grin on my face every time I ride it. Some of the negatives you speak of (with respect to ergonomics) can be easily rectified with a set of dropped pegs and foot controls. Money saved with the base model goes a long way toward modifying the bike to suit the rider. 100% chance of a bad decision every time you ride... It's for dads that are former sportbike guys who refuse to grow up and get a bagger. haha
My 19 RR has 16,000 mile Tires and Chain and Sprockets is all I've done . I put a 40 tooth back sprocket to gear it up a bit and love the change it made, 1/4 inch longer wheel base and bit taller 1st and 2nd helps it launch better.
I know this comment is 2 months old, but if you happen to see it, where did you pick up the dropped pegs/foot controls at? Any recommendations? What are the service intervals like? How many issues have you had? I'm going to look at one in the morning and I'm stoked 🙌
@@seandeterman2499 I haven't changed anything on the bike but I stretch every day in the morning. I'm 68 years old, 6 foot tall and ride full tanks of gas without stopping and do long days down in the North Carolina mountains.

I have a 22 base model Tuono and lowered the foot pegs 1'' and extended the toe peg 1'' and it's a lot better. I also added a comfort seat. It's an amazing bike with an intoxicating sound. I do find myself hitting triple digits way too often but it's just so damn fun. It's not good in traffic however so I stick to the country roads. It does run hot with that hyperactive Italian V-4. So, it's not an all rounder by any means but it excels in it's space.
I'm 6' and my everyday ride was the last gen tuono v4 until recently. It is by far my favorite bike I've ever owned. Buuut I came to the realization that I didn't need that much. Even tho it was amazing every blip is over 100. I will say for me it was super comfortable and I put many 8 hour ride days on it. Miss that thing.
Sitting first up at a red light, center lane on my little ninja400. Completely unaware of the VR4 which joined my ride and was sitting caddy corner to me, whisper quiet. That is until the light turned green and it whipped past me like a damn jet despite my accelerating "promptly" (yeah I get it, i'm not riding a launch monster). The lack of sound, the refined symphony from exhaust on demand, quickness and overall impression of the bike was incredible. Dude slowed down and we BS'd for a minute, totally cool rider with an awesome machine.
I thinkyou guys are getting old mentally. I ride my tuono multiple days a week and love every second of it. Rollimg on the throttle make me smile every time and I am 70 years old. This bike is an absulute blast and if you like to ride slow bikes you have a whole different idea of fun than I do. thanks for the great videos and keep up the great work.
Up here in New Hampsha' when the weather isn't snow and ice or pouring down rain(although I have ridden in that a few times) I ride my 2018 ZX10R daily. I take it back and forth to work and also 100-300 mile day trips when I have time(and of course the occasional track day). If I had that Tuono V4 I would ride that every day. It's not the comfort the makes these bikes so desirable to ride, it's the feelings they stir up, the therapy they so lovingly supply. I agree with the several other "older" riders that have commented on how much they love it, and I'm a "younger" rider at 56. 😁 We are all unique in what we love/hate and I am so grateful there are so many different motorcycles to choose from. I do want to thank you Papa Yam and Spite for trying (and failing) to convince us we should not have this amazing motorcycle for our "daily driver". 😉 Thanks and keep yourselves safe! 😃👍❤🏍 Randy
There is no such thing as too much power for the street. It is the rider who controls the throttle, want to ride at a reasonable speed - just apply less. Also, unless you live in Switzerland, not all of the back road as runway-smooth, and you do need the electronic suspension on the bumpy roads. Btw this bike does come with the passenger seat (at no extra cost) it is small and hard, but it is not the plastic cover that you guys mocked in this video (it is a cover - decoration). I am 50 years old, 6,1 and use this bike as a daily commuter (in a very congested traffic) I also use it for 5-6 hours trips around the country-side, no issues at all. When I want to do long distance touring I choose GS or the RT, that being said, super-nakeds are generally bought by the people who own more than one bike (just like a sports car). Love your channel btw! :)
The appeal of this bike for me is just how fuckin cool it is. I really don’t care if it’s good for the street or whatever, I want one just because it speaks to me. Same reason I want the Superduke.
Btw its awesome for the street. To me its like this, I will put up with the slightly annoying things about it (riding in slow traffic, city, poor mpg, agressive footpeg height etc...) because when you get to a nice twisty road you will forget about all that and just laugh in your helmet about how ridiculously good it is. I have done long trips on it with friends and when you are in a boring straight road you will look at your friend in his full-on touring BMW and think "that looks comfy", but the second the road gets fun I dont want to be on a GS... I want my tuono.
So i'm not sure about other places, but here in quebec there's a huge difference in the cost of owning a Sport bike like the RSV4 vs a "Naked" like the Tuono. The registration of sport bikes is 2k a year vs naked are 700. Insurance is cheaper too so the Tuono has become incredibly popular here in Montreal since you're getting a sport bike without paying the costs of a sport bike
Yes, it is perfect! I've owned top notch (many/ watch my channel /FB 😁) bikes. Some of the bikes have been 1199 Panigale, 21 V4 Streetfighter, and now 21 V4 1100 Factory
@@yammienoob I tell you what, if I had the money to have gotten into motorcycles when I was a kid, (and if my brain was broken as Marc Marquez) I think I probably would be in a good place to race being 5'6 135 lb at 29 years old
@@axist2389 this is my 4th bike (CBR250R, CB300R, R3) so Im comfortable with the weight of motorcycle in general. Buuut I'm literally ballerina tip toed if i try to put both feet down. I've ridden an R6 and 848 and the seat height felt similar. However RS660 weight of 400lbs and more 'relaxed' clipons makes it much easier to daily.
Yo I’m 24 and got a 2004 Suzuki Volusia 800 and I love it but would love to have a sport bike to have for the fun days when I’m not riding with my fiancé! Thanks for all the awesome videos and good times YAM YAM the killer Sham broham Ps I feel like I would fit pretty good on this one. Kind of a larger guy. With the larger frame I’d probably be more comfortable than the super hawk I rode
This is an interesting review of the machine. I do have one and fit the ideal customer profile that you outline here. And yeah the 660 for the street is undoubtedly more appropriate....the sound on this V4 IS sublime. I have a '21 and previously had a '17, should show you how much I enjoy the V4 Tuono.
I am 48 and I ride my Tuono all day for over 600 miles days anytime. I switched from an RSV4 due to moving back home where registration for super sport is 2000$/year and the Tuono is also easier on my neck than my old RSV4
Yes, it’s perfect or damn near it. Also, it does come with a removable passenger seat which wasn’t mentioned in your review. What you guys were pointing out is not meant to be sat on by a passenger.
Video project idea!!! Would love to see how flagship bikes have changed over the decade. Spec comparison, 0-60, top speed etc. New technology on the bikes. 2012 R6/R1 vs 2022, 2012 ZX6R/10R vs 2022, 2012 CBR600RR vs 2022 and so on. If the data isn't there yet for 2022, 201 then. Thanks so much!
When he said “it demands bad behavior out of you” I felt that. Having a tuned 21 r1, it just feels wrong to have it below 70. It especially doesn’t care for carrying one speed. The engine gets confused at the lack of revs
Which is why I bought the 21 Tuono V4 base model ✌🏼I saved the money and used it to upgrade and customize the bike, it ol has the factory tail and windscreen now. You can totally ride this bike nice and easy through town. It’s not a daily commuter for me, it’s my toy, it’s my wind therapy! And then there is the SOUND! I would never compare this to the MT10 or S1000r, I know they are in the same class but the are definitely not the same pedigree! Love this bike, It’s staying in the garage 4eva!!
I'm gonna cry... I want this so bad, but 1) I don't even have my first bike yet and 2) it's so expensive and probably way more powerful than I'd ever be able to handle. I fucking love Aprilia tho
You will get there. I'm in the same boat but I WILL get my bike this summer. I'm cutting out ALL expenditures until I can get it. Literally every time I pull out my wallet to buy something I think " do I really need this? Because this purchase is taking away from the bike" and I usually put my wallet away.
So get the 660 or whatever beginner is close to what you really want, and trade up next year or when you are comfortable! Time, effort, and a little cash, are not so big obstacles as they seam! 1. Saddle time is not calendar time! 2. You can always out work whatever to overcome, or obtain whatever! 3. If you want something bad enough, there are healthy sacrifices to be made🤷♂️
Just picked up a 2019 tuono v4 1100 rr for $10.5k and it has to be the most motorcycle I have ever owned for the money. I do daily it and its a bit much around town but the weekends make it so worth it.
The electronic suspension is nice. Im looking at a rsv4 factory right now and on my test ride, you can feel the difference between street and sport manual settings . Its nice you can change them on the fly from the display too. Also the auto semi active mode is super smooth when adjusting in you ride style and road conditions. Of coarse I'm getting almost $10k off from the dealer bc its a 2022 and they need to sell it. So that doesnt hurt.
Any chance we could see you revisit the mt-07 and or 09? I know it seems redundant at this point but it’d be really interesting to see yours & spites thoughts on the updated platforms since you’ve both evolved so much as riders.
Drop 1 tooth on the front sprocket of the Streetfighter V4, reduce the top speed to Tuono levels and you are good to go. Probably $20 - 30 for the part. Torque increase for cheap.
Ah! Right when you guys have me thinking an R7 is for me you put out an Aprilia vid and make me all simpy over the RS660 AGAIN!!! 🤣🤣🤣 The rear seat isn't a seat....it's a cowl cover. There's a two piece luggage/passenger seat that you have to disassemble the rear end to install similar to the rear of the RS660 and Tuono 660
Great honest review. Your feelings of "too much" for an everyday bike, too fast, too much work to flick it around, etc, do you feel the same for a 2nd generation 1290 Superduke, cause I'm about to buy one as my only bike? Thoughts?
Honestly man i wouldnt. Its too much bike for the street. I have a 19 tuono v4 and i will probably trade it out for a smaller engine. Its insanely fun but i would definitely say its crazy overkill
@@howardfreedman4289 im sure the super duke is an incredible bike forsure but yeah probably suffers from the same problems most super bikes do on the street
Could it be that T mode is for Track - not for Touring. I have a 2019 RSV4 RF and the modes are: S = Sport T = Track R = Race So the softest riding mode is Sports. But being Aprilia, you can't be too sure. Had a shiver 750 few years ago and the modes were: R: Rain, T: Tour, S: Sports.
That review was absolutely on point ,but on the right road on a sunny day its like that scene from Independence day when Will Smith flys the alien fighter out of area 51.
Had a 07 and loved it. Test drove a new one a couple years ago and found it was too much power for me for street riding. Ended up getting a MV 800 instead, which is still a hand-full for me. Nice review.
I'll keep commenting on this every time I see you guys act mystified about the passenger seat: That's not the passenger seat. That part is removable and there's a pillion seat that goes in place of it. I take my son or my girlfriend 2up quite often on my RSV4.
The fuel light comes on at 76 miles - my previous generation comes on at 100 miles. I know it has a smaller tank, but either value is pretty poor when you're out for a spirited ride. Everything else about it rocks. But it's a fun toy. My BMW S1000R can do anything and a 145 mile range.
Who is it for? For everyone who can afford it. Yes, you need to be experienced otherwise it will get you in trouble very quickly but the fun and feeling it gives you is like nothing else out there
The V twin Tuono is a good budget naked. With some Mivv exhaust it sounds like a roaring lion that was kicked in the balls. I have yet to ride the V4 version. Huge V4 fan after owning a Vmax.
I bought a 22 tuono factory, I'm a street rider but don't commute to work bc im a truck driver but when I'm home I ride daily in the summer and yes 42 with disposable income and love to flex lol. And yes I love the sound and yes there is never not a smile on my face . I do also have unmonitred long roads where u can get this thing to 150 np lol so it's perfect for me plus flexing is a plus some 600 squid always trying to race then says I will see u on the track when he gets beat this vid was why I bought the bike it was my determining factor lol
Um am I the only one caught this? The rear seat cowl isn't the rear pillar seat. The Tuono comes with an actual seat but I definitely don't recommend anyone seating on it thou lol.
It's to bad there's only one Aprilia dealership here in Southeast Wisconsin but considering I barley use 55-60% of my 2020 z900 I can't even fathom what this would feel like!!!
I've had quite a few bikes in my time, this is one of the best i've owned. Also, remove the rear cover and the 'supplied' seat fits in its place. We get a dark screen here in the UK, why do you have a clear one ? Good video, thanks for sharing 😀
yep, that racing tail isn't a seat at all ;) ; I actually prefer the clear screen... when making onboard vids with the cam behind the black screen, you don't see a whole lot; the dark/black does look better, of course
Soooo... you mentioned it isn't great for daily commuting because of the more aggressive stance but would it be better if you are a complete degenerate like me and can handle obnoxious positions for extended periods of time on the daily? I really only would have the ability to own one motorcycle and I'm considering this.
To each their own but I'll take the sound of my '88 Katana 1100 with its stock exhaust over the V4 sound any day. Even years ago when I bought a new CB1100F and the guy I road with bought a new 750 Sabre I couldn't get into the sound of a V4 vs an inline.
I have tuono v4 APRC with 170hp (little bit tune and akrapovič) and you can clearly drive it daily, its smooth and good to mention it even have more torqe at low rpm than this new tuono due to euro 5 spec and shit... Before tuono i had superduke 990 with 140hp and that bike is hard to ride normaly or in town its mental its on/off bike. Tuono is much smoother and much easier to ride if you have much miles in your right ankle. For me tuono is perfect daily 🥰
That bikes for a weekend warrior Saturday night they call us Monday at the bike shop come pick it up you bring it to the shop you'll find out they didn't put the reserve on the gas tank so you charge them a service call and take it back put it in the garage for him hehehe
I own a TV4 and I love it! The pillion seat, is not what you have fitted, I don't know about the U.S market but my bike came with an actual pillion seat as well.
Your video is a little misleading in parts. That isn't the pillion seat, the correct seat is supplied at the time of purchase. That bleh bleh bleh noise you get at idle sometimes is because you have removed the exhaust valve and not by design, why in particular I don't know but mine does the same thing. Sounds pretty cool though. I have found the Tuono to be right at home as a daily, I ride it most days to work which is about a 30min commute on both residential and highway roads. The ability to change the suspension settings on the fly with a couple of taps on the controls makes it so much more enjoyable to ride. Our roads are good but perhaps not as good as yours? So that could explain the set and forget mentality? Not everyone is blessed with racetrack quality roads to get them to work. lol The bike can be ridden sedately and is more than at home being ridden as a "street bike" but the reality is you won't want to ride it like that. It just does so many things so damn good... and that noise!!!! Eargasms for days. :-D Not down on you at all just wanted to clarify a couple of points. Take care.
While I don't think it's a naked bike. ( I'll happily be pedantic about it) I think this is a great bike and the only one on the give aways currently i've entered for. I never gave Aprilia a serious look before you guys started talking about this bike.
And a higher screen [more wind protection] and a pillion seat with grab handles. I loved it so much I bought one. It's the best bike I have ever owned and I've had a lot. I am nearly 60 now and have been riding since the late 70's. This bike put's a smile on my face like no other.
@@fyorbane totally forgot about the screen and pillion! Thanks! Glad to hear you’re enjoying it so far. The engine and exhaust note alone make any trim worth it in my book. 🙂
@@ssmart5701 I had a choice, unseen thou as the Dealer could get me either the white or grey as they had both at another branch but it was 8 hours away. I choose the grey due to it being gloss as I wash unsure what the Matt white would look like. To this day I still haven't seen one in the flesh.
I'm 52, want an occasional track day bike, my current bike (Rocket 3R) only gets 2500 miles a year anyway, and this is way cheaper than side ass and a divorce!
I don't see the point, I own one, 2021 Tuono V4 1100, base model and it's amazing. I'm 6"2' and I can ride the bike all day, city and highway. It's true the bike fill more comfortable riding over 80, 100m/h fiel great 👍

@@axist2389 this is my 4th bike (CBR250R, CB300R, R3) so Im comfortable with the weight of motorcycle in general. Buuut I'm literally ballerina tip toed if i try to put both feet down. I've ridden an R6 and 848 and the seat height felt similar. However RS660 weight of 400lbs and more 'relaxed' clipons makes it much easier to daily.
Chews grizzly, mid 30’s, once a week bike, occasional track day, buys for sound ✊🏼 hey that’s me!! Hahaha
Yo I’m 24 and got a 2004 Suzuki Volusia 800 and I love it but would love to have a sport bike to have for the fun days when I’m not riding with my fiancé! Thanks for all the awesome videos and good times YAM YAM the killer Sham broham
Ps I feel like I would fit pretty good on this one. Kind of a larger guy. With the larger frame I’d probably be more comfortable than the super hawk I rode
you like what you like, and if you have the $, you get what you want.
My riding buddy went from a hyosung gt650 as his learner bike to a tuono v4 and he rides it to work everyday. Rain, hail or shine.
This is an interesting review of the machine. I do have one and fit the ideal customer profile that you outline here. And yeah the 660 for the street is undoubtedly more appropriate....the sound on this V4 IS sublime. I have a '21 and previously had a '17, should show you how much I enjoy the V4 Tuono.
I am 48 and I ride my Tuono all day for over 600 miles days anytime. I switched from an RSV4 due to moving back home where registration for super sport is 2000$/year and the Tuono is also easier on my neck than my old RSV4
Normally ride big Harley Touring bikes, but when I add a sport bike to the collection this will definitely be at the top of the list.
Yes, it’s perfect or damn near it. Also, it does come with a removable passenger seat which wasn’t mentioned in your review. What you guys were pointing out is not meant to be sat on by a passenger.
Video project idea!!! Would love to see how flagship bikes have changed over the decade. Spec comparison, 0-60, top speed etc. New technology on the bikes. 2012 R6/R1 vs 2022, 2012 ZX6R/10R vs 2022, 2012 CBR600RR vs 2022 and so on. If the data isn't there yet for 2022, 201 then. Thanks so much!
The Ducati V2 intro was Golden Globe worthy. Bring back the Biscotti and Espresso ☕🍪
Ah, back in the good old days when this channel was actually worth watching.
Luckily enough i live in Germany AND got the Tuono V4. Can confirm!
I liked the mt10 look. Like yammie loves the triumph with the bug eye looking headlights. MT looks like it's angry not curious
When he said “it demands bad behavior out of you” I felt that. Having a tuned 21 r1, it just feels wrong to have it below 70. It especially doesn’t care for carrying one speed. The engine gets confused at the lack of revs
Which is why I bought the 21 Tuono V4 base model ✌🏼I saved the money and used it to upgrade and customize the bike, it ol has the factory tail and windscreen now.
You can totally ride this bike nice and easy through town.
It’s not a daily commuter for me, it’s my toy, it’s my wind therapy!
And then there is the SOUND!
I would never compare this to the MT10 or S1000r, I know they are in the same class but the are definitely not the same pedigree!
Love this bike, It’s staying in the garage 4eva!!
I got the Tarmac Grey for the same reason, which colour did you get.
@@DukeOfTwist tarmac Grey!
@@saint1.046 Excellent, I got vids of mine on my channel
Any issue with the wind pressure at high speed?
working hard and saving for one. thanks for making this video brah
I'm gonna cry... I want this so bad, but 1) I don't even have my first bike yet and 2) it's so expensive and probably way more powerful than I'd ever be able to handle.
I fucking love Aprilia tho
You will get there. I'm in the same boat but I WILL get my bike this summer. I'm cutting out ALL expenditures until I can get it. Literally every time I pull out my wallet to buy something I think " do I really need this? Because this purchase is taking away from the bike" and I usually put my wallet away.
So get the 660 or whatever beginner is close to what you really want, and trade up next year or when you are comfortable! Time, effort, and a little cash, are not so big obstacles as they seam! 1. Saddle time is not calendar time! 2. You can always out work whatever to overcome, or obtain whatever! 3. If you want something bad enough, there are healthy sacrifices to be made🤷♂️
Just picked up a 2019 tuono v4 1100 rr for $10.5k and it has to be the most motorcycle I have ever owned for the money. I do daily it and its a bit much around town but the weekends make it so worth it.
Just be aware of massive oil consumption on that bike. I have the same machine it burns a quart every 1500 miles.
this is my dream bike and it is prolly the 2nd best naked bike every made. oh and the V4 can make 217hp no problem
The electronic suspension is nice. Im looking at a rsv4 factory right now and on my test ride, you can feel the difference between street and sport manual settings . Its nice you can change them on the fly from the display too. Also the auto semi active mode is super smooth when adjusting in you ride style and road conditions. Of coarse I'm getting almost $10k off from the dealer bc its a 2022 and they need to sell it. So that doesnt hurt.
In Houston for a few days. Wish I could stay longer and hook up a ride with you guys. Keep killing it!
Any chance we could see you revisit the mt-07 and or 09? I know it seems redundant at this point but it’d be really interesting to see yours & spites thoughts on the updated platforms since you’ve both evolved so much as riders.
Drop 1 tooth on the front sprocket of the Streetfighter V4, reduce the top speed to Tuono levels and you are good to go. Probably $20 - 30 for the part. Torque increase for cheap.
Just bought a glorious Yam hoodie. Fingers crossed for that Tuono!
the passenger seat is separate (provided when bought) , what is on yours is a cover
Yes, don't know why they didn't get one.
I just tell my women if your ass hurts after riding a full-body message is in order. A win, win scenario :-)
Ah! Right when you guys have me thinking an R7 is for me you put out an Aprilia vid and make me all simpy over the RS660 AGAIN!!! 🤣🤣🤣
The rear seat isn't a seat....it's a cowl cover. There's a two piece luggage/passenger seat that you have to disassemble the rear end to install similar to the rear of the RS660 and Tuono 660
Great honest review. Your feelings of "too much" for an everyday bike, too fast, too much work to flick it around, etc, do you feel the same for a 2nd generation 1290 Superduke, cause I'm about to buy one as my only bike? Thoughts?
Honestly man i wouldnt. Its too much bike for the street. I have a 19 tuono v4 and i will probably trade it out for a smaller engine. Its insanely fun but i would definitely say its crazy overkill
@@Saltymoles
Thanks for the feedback. I'll rethink my decision. That may be why, for such an awesome bike, there are so many for resale.
@@howardfreedman4289 im sure the super duke is an incredible bike forsure but yeah probably suffers from the same problems most super bikes do on the street
Could it be that T mode is for Track - not for Touring. I have a 2019 RSV4 RF and the modes are:
S = Sport
T = Track
R = Race
So the softest riding mode is Sports. But being Aprilia, you can't be too sure. Had a shiver 750 few years ago and the modes were: R: Rain, T: Tour, S: Sports.
The 2021 has 3 modes not just letters, tour, sports and user.
Then you also have race mode with track 1,2 and another user mode
In the manual it says Track
@@markyounts1685 I own one,

@@benjamindavies4170 oh I see. Thanks for correcting me 👍.
40k miles on my 18 superduke .20 trackdays... ride 2hrs to trackday.. ride all day ride 2 hrs home... and not have knees cramping
Got mine for smiles per gallon. Also a mid life crisis fix. Better than a corvette.😂
That review was absolutely on point ,but on the right road on a sunny day its like that scene from Independence day when Will Smith flys the alien fighter out of area 51.
I literally commute on my Tuono Favtory V4 on a daily basis. It is an amazing bike in every way so I'm not sure what they are on about.
I was rolling on the floor with your Italian Accent :P
Yeah very accurate, I live in dubai so pretty much every road is highway so it’s a lot of fun
@Yammie Noob, please do the K1300R, I know it is an older bike and not as nimble, but would love to see either the K1300S or K1300R on your show!
Had a 07 and loved it. Test drove a new one a couple years ago and found it was too much power for me for street riding. Ended up getting a MV 800 instead, which is still a hand-full for me. Nice review.
I'll keep commenting on this every time I see you guys act mystified about the passenger seat: That's not the passenger seat. That part is removable and there's a pillion seat that goes in place of it. I take my son or my girlfriend 2up quite often on my RSV4.
The fuel light comes on at 76 miles - my previous generation comes on at 100 miles. I know it has a smaller tank, but either value is pretty poor when you're out for a spirited ride. Everything else about it rocks. But it's a fun toy. My BMW S1000R can do anything and a 145 mile range.
Who is it for? For everyone who can afford it. Yes, you need to be experienced otherwise it will get you in trouble very quickly but the fun and feeling it gives you is like nothing else out there
The V twin Tuono is a good budget naked. With some Mivv exhaust it sounds like a roaring lion that was kicked in the balls. I have yet to ride the V4 version. Huge V4 fan after owning a Vmax.
GREAT LOOKING! I do wish the giveaway was more action.
That back seat is hilarious
Great video. I feel like I know the bike after watching this. I'd love to ride it but that is a lot for a daily!
I bought a 22 tuono factory, I'm a street rider but don't commute to work bc im a truck driver but when I'm home I ride daily in the summer and yes 42 with disposable income and love to flex lol. And yes I love the sound and yes there is never not a smile on my face . I do also have unmonitred long roads where u can get this thing to 150 np lol so it's perfect for me plus flexing is a plus some 600 squid always trying to race then says I will see u on the track when he gets beat this vid was why I bought the bike it was my determining factor lol
Um am I the only one caught this? The rear seat cowl isn't the rear pillar seat. The Tuono comes with an actual seat but I definitely don't recommend anyone seating on it thou lol.
I ride a Tuono V4R APRC. It's so powerful that sometimes I don't know why it's legal on the road.
It's to bad there's only one Aprilia dealership here in Southeast Wisconsin but considering I barley use 55-60% of my 2020 z900 I can't even fathom what this would feel like!!!
Nice I ride a 03 RSV Mille everyday (unless rain) 👌🏾
Holy crap that sounds good!
Hey, I have question. Do you have issue with the temperature getting high when riding your bike on light traffic on the freeway?
I've had quite a few bikes in my time, this is one of the best i've owned. Also, remove the rear cover and the 'supplied' seat fits in its place. We get a dark screen here in the UK, why do you have a clear one ? Good video, thanks for sharing 😀
yep, that racing tail isn't a seat at all ;) ; I actually prefer the clear screen... when making onboard vids with the cam behind the black screen, you don't see a whole lot; the dark/black does look better, of course
What a beautiful bike!
Hello Y.N. have you ever had a monster S2r or S4R or plan to as a giveaway bike? Thanks Jude
Soooo... you mentioned it isn't great for daily commuting because of the more aggressive stance but would it be better if you are a complete degenerate like me and can handle obnoxious positions for extended periods of time on the daily? I really only would have the ability to own one motorcycle and I'm considering this.
Very well said!
To each their own but I'll take the sound of my '88 Katana 1100 with its stock exhaust over the V4 sound any day. Even years ago when I bought a new CB1100F and the guy I road with bought a new 750 Sabre I couldn't get into the sound of a V4 vs an inline.
Can-O-Tuna! I remember those old bikes. Cheap, not as fast as anything of its time, but got a lot of people into riding.
I know I’m late but I want an aprilia so bad but it doesn’t have a passenger seat so it’s between the rsv4 1100 factory or the S1KRR
in my humble opinion, 10/10 bike doesn't exist, but Tuono is very close
I have tuono v4 APRC with 170hp (little bit tune and akrapovič) and you can clearly drive it daily, its smooth and good to mention it even have more torqe at low rpm than this new tuono due to euro 5 spec and shit...
Before tuono i had superduke 990 with 140hp and that bike is hard to ride normaly or in town its mental its on/off bike. Tuono is much smoother and much easier to ride if you have much miles in your right ankle. For me tuono is perfect daily 🥰
That bikes for a weekend warrior Saturday night they call us Monday at the bike shop come pick it up you bring it to the shop you'll find out they didn't put the reserve on the gas tank so you charge them a service call and take it back put it in the garage for him hehehe
I own a TV4 and I love it!
The pillion seat, is not what you have fitted, I don't know about the U.S market but my bike came with an actual pillion seat as well.
13:40-14:00 Yammie fucking nailed it. 😂😂😂😂
Your video is a little misleading in parts. That isn't the pillion seat, the correct seat is supplied at the time of purchase.
That bleh bleh bleh noise you get at idle sometimes is because you have removed the exhaust valve and not by design, why in particular I don't know but mine does the same thing. Sounds pretty cool though.
I have found the Tuono to be right at home as a daily, I ride it most days to work which is about a 30min commute on both residential and highway roads. The ability to change the suspension settings on the fly with a couple of taps on the controls makes it so much more enjoyable to ride. Our roads are good but perhaps not as good as yours? So that could explain the set and forget mentality? Not everyone is blessed with racetrack quality roads to get them to work. lol
The bike can be ridden sedately and is more than at home being ridden as a "street bike" but the reality is you won't want to ride it like that. It just does so many things so damn good... and that noise!!!! Eargasms for days. :-D
Not down on you at all just wanted to clarify a couple of points. Take care.
A a fair weather rider I make my decision for purchase on 2 important points.
1 Sound
2 Looks
This qualifies. After that, I dont care.
While I don't think it's a naked bike. ( I'll happily be pedantic about it)
I think this is a great bike and the only one on the give aways currently i've entered for.
I never gave Aprilia a serious look before you guys started talking about this bike.
yea, it has fairings
It has flat bars not clip-ons & only part fairing.
awesome amazing fantastic ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
You guys really need to check out the standard 2021/22 Tuono. It comes with 2” bar risers and softer-sprung suspension just for Spite. 🙂
And a higher screen [more wind protection] and a pillion seat with grab handles. I loved it so much I bought one. It's the best bike I have ever owned and I've had a lot. I am nearly 60 now and have been riding since the late 70's. This bike put's a smile on my face like no other.
@@fyorbane totally forgot about the screen and pillion! Thanks! Glad to hear you’re enjoying it so far. The engine and exhaust note alone make any trim worth it in my book. 🙂
@@fyorbane I'm 58 n also got the base, I ditched the Adventure style screen & went for a Powerbronze Dark Tint.
Yep I bought it for the noise. 22 base model, I’m getting old, screw it... makes me feel like a kid again and the noise is premium
I got the Tarmac Grey for the same reason, which colour did you get.
@@DukeOfTwist white, honestly it was the only choice they had at that time, besides a factory and some 660’s
@@ssmart5701 I had a choice, unseen thou as the Dealer could get me either the white or grey as they had both at another branch but it was 8 hours away. I choose the grey due to it being gloss as I wash unsure what the Matt white would look like. To this day I still haven't seen one in the flesh.
I'm 52, want an occasional track day bike, my current bike (Rocket 3R) only gets 2500 miles a year anyway, and this is way cheaper than side ass and a divorce!
Do the side stand pop and spin to turn it around
Hi yammie i have a question is the cy50. A good beginner bike
I feel like things would be simpler if we kept it to standard for stuff like Bonnie’s and sports standard for what we used to call super nakeds
Why isn’t the GSXS 750-1000 ever compared against other sport nakeds or hyper nakeds
The person that buys a Tuono is someone that has ridden sports bikes for the past 20yrs and now has back issues.
Ask me how I know😁
Yes n the base model is even better
