The six-speed ‘box is connected to the Euro-4 spec, liquid-cooled, 1077cc, 65-degree V4 masterpiece of a motor. The pressure required on the gear-shift for both up and down is ideal for the short and knowing ‘click’, it’s fast, accurate and rewarding just like its faired and sportier sibling, the RSV4 1100 Factory. Starting with the super-slick gearbox the electronically-assisted quickshifter is nigh-on perfect while the auto-blipper matches the revs on the downshift and the pop from the Akrapovic-equipped (an official accessory) bike is a glorious feature. Off we went to the foothills of the Dolomite mountains in Northern Italy for the press riding launch to find out.Īh, the three pillars of strength through which the Tuono’s heart beats and that give it an advantage over any rival. The Italian manufacturer has provided a second bike in as many months with the ‘Factory’ name and with a component list that includes Ohlins, Brembo, Bosch and Pirelli, there’s little chance this 2019-enhanced 170.5 bhp monster won’t live up to its billing. Because the raft of settings, both automatic and manual in conjunction with the already ace APRC (traction control, launch control, wheelie control, etc.) system, the most advanced electronic suspension system on the market can only be found on two other machines Yamaha’s R1M and Ducati’s Panigale V4 and all-of-a-sudden this level of exclusivity makes the £1,000 price hike over the outgoing model becomes seemingly justifiable. The 2019 upgrades are easy to list: the introduction of Ohlins’ Smart EC 2.0 semi-active suspension. With a rear-end reminiscent of its sportier RSV4 sibling, the emphasis of this naked is torque, road handling and an electronics package that allows for the most personal of rides. ![]() In the BikeSocial office we earmarked it as the best ever, worst-selling bike.īeautiful on the eye, ear and probably tongue if licked, this stunning Italian supermodel really does go as well as it looks in its 2017 guise. ![]() An absolute beast of bike with poise, power and precision and one which I fell in love with. The 2017 Tuono V4 1100 was something to behold. A class which the Noale-based firm hasn’t necessarily dominated in terms of the outrageousness and quality of its machinery… until recently. It’s been 17 years since Aprilia whipped the fairings off an RSV and claimed to have created the hyper naked class.
