Very informative, a good guide for anyone looking for this kind of bike. Interesting comparison to the factory version. As you said, great value for money 👍
I like the clear and concise commentary. I have the 16 plate 1100rr I have been looking at a 2023 model. I like the updates. The new screen, LED lights, styling twets,the pillion seat and grab rail. The updated electronics and the blipper. Thanks again. Just makes perfect sense.
Thanks for the review 👍 one additional diff compared to the factory is the rear sprocket. Yours has a 40 teeth, fact has a 42 and I would recommend fitting forged wheels. Helps a lot with the agility.

Thank you for the review. I currently have an RS660 and am considering upgrading to this once i can afford it. What sort of mpg were you getting? What's the seat height etc?
Hi Russell, mpg is not great, varied between 35-45 mpg depending on how it was ridden, I never had a problem with that though as it is so damn good to ride. Tank range was between 120 to 160. Can’t quote exact seat height, but I’m 5’9 with a 32 leg and had no issues. If you buy one believe me you won’t be disappointed 😀
Thank you Sir, appreciate your time for the review and for the reply. I can get 160-180 out of the RS660 averaging about 65mpg so thats interesting. Sounds like the seat height is similar.
@@sweetrides8418 Fuel economy is unaffected strangely enough. It still uses 30-40% more than my brothers Speed triple 1050RS. Oh btw we have 5 Tuono's in the family 3 track bikes Gen1, Gen2 & '14 V4 1000 the 2 roadies are an '07 Gen2 Factory & my '21 V4 1100 RR. Their are also K1300 2x S1000R's & few others.
I have one of these. I traded a 2020 Superduke R Gen3 for it at Via Moto Sheffield which was discounted so there was little outlay to go from a 2 year old bike to a new one. My wife likes to ride pillion so that was a big factor in choosing this model as it has the grab rail. Biggest mistake was having the free Akra Can, decat & Race Map at the 600 mile service. Its too loud even with the baffle in - the stock pile is the best of both worlds - quiet at slow speed/revs in villages & towns & a lovely sound when the revs rise & flap in the pipe opens above 5k revs. Thankfully I found an after market baffle for the Akra can & its more acceptable now.

Hi Bruce, I generally don’t look to closely at economy on these style of bike, simply as most owners use them for fun and leisure rather than commuting, however the V4 Aprilia engine is known to be thirsty, hence why on this model they have fitted a different rear sprocket ⚙️ to lengthen the gearing. It didn’t appear to drink as much fuel as my old 2017 factory, but I couldn’t tell you how much difference it really made, sorry.

Its a great bike for solid price.....if your riding track you dont want electronic suspension anyway..... Where I live there are quite a few Aprilia dealers.... 5 within 50 mile radius......I am not a commuter so wouldnt miss it necessarily.....havent seen any discounts on 23 models in US but not to say some arent getting them For 14.5k i would trade my duke 890 r today, 😂.....

Hi Cmac, I was a motorcycle instructor for 7 years and in my experience I find that once someone can control a bike that makes at least 60bhp, they can pretty much control anything. The issue is generally whether you can trust yourself not to ride beyond your ability, these are seriously quick bikes, but also are incredibly stable and have fantastic brakes and electronic safety systems. Hope that helps 😃
Hi Andy, the 1050 triple is a great bike and in my opinion a better road bike than the new 1200 RS, however you should get a test ride on the Aprilia, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Thanks for watching, please subscribe if you haven’t already 👍
I wish Triumph would do something like the 1050 sport with the new 1200cc engine, 17 inch wheels, a more comfortable riding position, less committed than on the RS…
i plan to buy one but i live in a hot city ... at the summer time there is around +40 degrees. deos this bike haveoverheating problem and if i use it sometimes in city can it be problematic ? and what about low rpm higher gear cruising perfprmance for long calm trips ?
Hi, I've not had any overheating problems (like some Ducati's) and calmer riding or cruising is fine. I'm currently testing a Triumph Street Triple 765 RS which is a similarly styled bike but obviously a smaller engine, so far I have been really impressed and it seems to have enough power for fast road riding and the engine is smooth and torquey at all speeds. Too be honest although I love the Tuono, I'd save yourself a few K and have a look at the Triumph.
@@sweetrides8418 I am considering one of these as well as the BMW s1000r or XR. Because of the faring and windshield, I would say they are a bit different than the Street Triple 1200 RS (I know this is not what the OP was looking at). The XR is a different bike and so we can discount that for a moment - it really is closer to a touring bike or sport touring. One thing I am interested in since you commented on it is how it does on bumpy roads. We have a lot where I live here and it is one reason I am trading my Speed Twin 1200 which is a great bike but it does get unsettled a bit on bad roads. How would you say the Tuono V4 does.
I’ve got a RS660 and I’m seriously considering it, would you know if the Triumph speed Triple or even the 765 street rs is a comparable if not a better option? I’m at my 5th bike and I’d like to get a very good one if not my last 😅 thanks for the review!❤
The Street triple 765 is probably the best balance of weight and power, a great handling bike, plus great value for money, but you do have to rev it hard to get the best out of it. The Aprilia has a lot more power on tap, tonnes of torque, but won’t handle quite as well. Both great bikes, just slightly different flavours 👍
Hi Szymond, that’s a difficult one, they are both great bikes, I find the display and switch gear simpler and easier to use on the KTM, but I think the Aprilia is the better handling bike, the B4 engine is epic and sounds amazing, but I think I prefer the torque of the KTM.

Would Anyone with a lot of knowledge with the 2023 tuono 1100 know why qs light would be on after just getting it with 0 miles brand new rode it 200 miles from dealer to home and out one more time just around my town on the way home I stopped for gas after that qs light came on after startup and hasn’t turned off since even after letting it sit over night and starting it the next day qs is completely locked out rn….
I know, I didn’t realise until I finished filming, I wanted to re-film the close up camera but the bike was due to go back, school boy error 😬. Anyway thanks for watching 👀
If you were to go shopping today , and it came down to this Tuono or the Super Duke which would you buy , these are the two bikes I’m tossing up between.
Hi Shane, those two bikes are very closely matched, but they achieve their goals in different ways. The Tuono is basically a sports bike with an amazing V4 engine and flat bars, it’s incredibly accurate and well suited to both road and track and is the more serious of the two. The Superduke was designed as a road bike (but will work on track too), its 1300 V-twin will have you grinning from ear to ear and for me is the better road bike. If you opt for the super duke try to get the Evo, the std R is fine, but the electronic suspension on the Evo takes it to another level. As always I’d recommend you test ride both bikes, but for me as a mainly road bike, the KTM just noses it, plus its just more fun 🤩
That tuono he is riding is more touring than hyper naked. Factory tuono is comparable to super duke. If you go for super duke get one with tech pack. Otherwise it won't be that great. I have 2023 super duke r evo and it's everything I ever wanted in motorcycle. Torque for days.

I've got the 21' in Tarmac Grey mods done is Healtech ESE (disconnects flapper valve) rear sprocket 44t & powerbronze screen.
Hi Duke, thanks for watch and for your comments, is that the same sprocket as the factory? For better acceleration?
@@sweetrides8418 No, RR is 15/40 Factory is 15/42 going 15/44 makes 2nd gear perfect for roundabouts and tight mountain twisties.
@@sweetrides8418 & Yes for acceleration, I drag race my '21 as its 1/2 sec quicker than my '14 Tuono track bike.
Let me know how you get on with that, I was considering putting the factory sprocket on but didn’t want to lose too much fuel economy
