Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 RR 2015

The Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 RR is a prime example of an Italian thoroughbred naked bike with the genes of a genuine superbike world champion motorbike. A powerful V4 engine, brakes to match, transparent front end, supportive electronics, super-sporty design. The Tuono is not for strollers, landscape gazers or rain-mode riders. These people would rather buy a Ferrari.

The epithet "Beast" is not completely out of the blue, the KTM is and remains a brutal naked bike - 177 hp from two pots with a combined displacement of 1301 cubic metres is nothing harmless. Nevertheless, it is surprisingly easy to control; the upright seating position combined with the good handling make it seem almost docile. Compared to its predecessor, it has been improved precisely at its weakest points. The engine now runs more smoothly, the shift assistant brings calmness in the acceleration phase and the chassis has been improved in quality. But it still loves the wild chase more than high speed in long curves.

terrific brakes with cornering ABS

great seating position

very good shift assistant

Precise stroke not always easy to hit
