Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory 2017

Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory 2017

A fascinatingly perfect motorbike. It rides easily, stably, precisely and quickly. You could almost say it's too perfect to pass for an emotional Italian. But the awesome V4 sound pulls it out again in 2017. For some, the Tuono as a naked bike is too close to a super sports bike. If that doesn't bother you, you'll love it as the best bike in its class.

Best electronics package in the nakedbike league

Super-sport level cornering speed and precision

Stable chassis

Excellent brakes

Spookily easy to ride

200hp served up with unbelievably perfect control

Sporty original equipment tyres

Very cool bike, but for some riders not brutal enough

no configuration options ex works

suspension is great, but not semi-active - for mixed road/track use you have to screw it on.

Aprilia RSV4 RF 2017

Aprilia RSV4 RF 2017

The Aprilia RSV4 RF is a compact power rocket that requires an expert hand to make perfect use of its strengths. It tends to get bumpy at the front when accelerating, which can be managed with the right weight shift and looseness on the handlebars. Brutal acceleration in front of an impressive sound backdrop (with Akrapovic exhaust) meets hard deceleration in the braking zone thanks to grown 330 discs. On the entry, the RSV stabs precisely into the radius and reacts almost like a 600cc in bends. The numerous electronic riding aids demand some occupation and attention as to which settings one has just saved.
