Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 RR reviews

By far the best motorcycle I have ever ridden. With its light weight and pure power, it’s the perfect all around bike. The adjustable suspension settings, cruise control, abs, and so much more make Aprilia’s Tuono the best all around sports bike on the market Show less

BEWARE: Possible FRAUDULENT SELLER If you attempt to purchase a 2020 Aprilia RSV4 RR Misano from "E. Smith" through a Cycle Trader ad, be sure you chase down every detail and demand to see proof of ownership PRIOR to issuing any certified checks or setting arrangements to meet to complete the sale transaction. If you investigate, seller is inclined to cry foul and end the transaction abruptly. Bike pics show Georgia plate. Seller "lives" in Dallas (McKinney). And, the lienholder is in Illinois - and "won't send the title to any address other than the Seller" when the payoff is received. Thus, you'd have to trust that a) the Seller owns the bike, b) the title will be delivered to you at some future date following Seller's receipt of it from the lienholder, and c) you haven't just paid to take possession of a motorcycle that you may potentially never own. Also - make sure you get a straight answer regarding the chain of ownership and custody... including the titling of the vehicle in California. Best of luck, friends. Keep the shiny side up!

My experience with this bike has been great. This bike is a supernaked. Which is to say a full performance version with less fairing. Things to note: handlebars, no clip ons! The riding position is excellent. You can ride this bike for hours without getting cramped. What the magazines and videos call the rider triangle is even good for 6 footers. All that said you better be comfortable and ready to rock because when you open this bike up the performance is amazing. The quick shifter works up and down and that's good because if you use full throttle in first you will have trouble getting your foot up to catch second before redline! This bike has the full complement of electronic aids, (even cruise control). I use the wheelie control because it will lift the wheel up so easily I don't want to worry about it in normal riding. The acceleration is HANG ON! The handling is fantastic. Ohlins dampers all around with every adjustment, They are manual adjust, but if you under stand setting up once you get it, you probably won't change it . The bike is so good every time I think I have too much entry speed the machine just laughs at me as if to say, "I could have gone a lot faster than that". The cornering is confidence inspiring. It just works and any time and at any lean angle. I have never been in a situation that I felt that this bike couldn't handle. Another plus is even if you stay stock exhaust (ie LEGAL) it sounds great! I am glad that I bought it. Show less

The performance is top drawer. Yes, its a rocket but the handling is so good that it easily maintains corner speed so in back road riding conditions you don't really need a lot of motor. The build quality is very good - certainly a step above most of the Japanese bikes that I have owned. And it looks and sounds amazing - most riders I have met at gas stations, etc, haven't seen or heard one before - so there is a nice element of exclusivity. Dislikes: Mine came with a race can on it - extremely loud - got eyeballed by the authorities everywhere. I added a dB reducer - still loud but tolerable. Its a pretty dedicated riding position - though not as miserable as some of the other European bikes - its not conducive to long days in the saddle. Parts are harder to find than the bigger brands. Reliability: no rating, I haven't had it long enough yet to know. Show less

Where to begin... Ok have 2014 triumph street triple and in comparison to RSV4 it is like a man powered mower vs. A self propelled mower... the electronics on the RSV4 will save your a$$ without the skill you should have to be pushing a bike .. now this is not endorsing blind abandonment... I have put this bike in positions that would be 500% more difficult to correct than my other.. apologies for comparison as it is the only factual comparison I can make... have had it +165mph and it doesn't feel out of place... as the triumph begins to shutter at >130mph ... fyi I'm 200lbs and have +2 teeth on back and +1 on front of triumph... ... let's just say the electronic rider aids are insane... quick shifter auto blipper where have you been all my life... have race ecu, sc project exhaust, shorty levers, and integral blinker mirror block offs... sc project S1 exhaust is insanely loud ... so loud picked up evasion case bc I never heard cop behind me...well I was also enjoying myself too much Show less

Huge power, agile and comfortable for longer rides compared to other similar bikes, especially with the optional sport gel saddle. Show less

I am in the midst of buying my fourth Aprilia and it's my second Tuono 1000R. It's the best all arounder bike out there, more comfortable for my wife than a Honda VFR, more power and fun than one, too. It's value for money and here in South Africa, you stand out as Aprilia is not big out/down here. Show less

I have a aprilia tuono 2004 since 2006. It's a very exciting bike with lots of power. The sound is incredible through the akrapovic exhaust (no db-killer). I should hae bought this bike a couple of years earlier. Show less

I gotta say, this bike often gets overlooked as Aprilia is not a household name... but those who are overlooking it are really missing out. It is a great bike, comfortable riding position, and man does it pull. It can easily make a 21 year old out of a 30 something-plus man. A complete hooligan bike which can also cruise city streets. If you have not straddled an Aprilia, make it a point to do so! Show less

The Tuono instills confidence right from the get-go. What a great naked liter bike. It was soooo hard to keep it under 6000 RPM those first miles, but the huge torque and relative smooth-running at low rev's helped immensely. Then 7500 rev's for another little bit. Took 10 days of after-work evenings to break it in; just could not get back on my Ducati ST3 without feeling it was an unrefined beast. The Tuono is now THE ONE for solo rides and such a pleasure in the twisties. Not a single issue with it... the lack of a fuel gauge was at first, but a few tanks later you get confidence in the range between petrol stops. The tires (Metzlers) are superb, albeit a bit too soft for lots of road miles (it is, after all, a track machine it would seem). Must slow down as 140 MPH feels soooo good on this baby. The multi-function display is easy to read, easy to use, and keeps tack of all the important stuff. Now I want the RSV Mille! Show less
