I test rode the Tuono and Super Duke R. For me it’s the Duke. The Tuono was too good. The power delivery was intoxicating. I literally could not stop running through the gears like a mad man, it was so much fun. The noise, the acceleration, the power was addicting. You’re asking what’s wrong with that? I could not stay below 80 anywhere. I don’t care who you are, how mature you think you are, this bike wants, no needs to be unleashed. You shift to third and you’re already double or triple the speed limit. It would be nothing but trouble and Texas cops do not mess around. The duke was so smooth, accelerated so evenly and predicable. It could chug along at slow speeds and still be happy. Torque absolutely everywhere, any rpm. More comfortable riding position. One of the best engines ever put on a motorcycle.
This is exactly right, very good explanation 😎😎👍👍
My 800 Dragster rr is the same feeling, especially with the quick shifter and the sound of the 3cyl. 140 H.P. mv agusta tune.. 370lbs...and it flies! It is hard to keep from getting a ticket on it. I think I will buy a super duke gt I am starting to do more long distance riding/touring...video inside..
Super duke looks like dogshit. especially compared to the aprillia
@@Juxtaposed1Nmotion that's like...just your opinion man. I ride the tuono but much respect for the superduke. The look is mean on it and very unique
All dog shits are unique
By far the best overview of a particular bike I've ever seen, the fact that it happens to be my next bike is just a bonus. Really appreciate what you've done here, amazing to have such a complete overview of the bike before it even arrives.
I’ve owned both the 2016 and 2017 Tuono Factory and even giving it the beans I’ve never got under 43 mpg. The best bike I’ve ever owned.! 🙂
Ride a tuono sensibly. Funniest joke i've heard all day
I saw an aftermarket windscreen for this bike that follows the lines beautifully. I can't remember the name anymore but it looked as if it was OEM and didn't spoil the looks at all. It made it look even more like a RSV4. It was not a super tall screen but more like a wind deflector.
Really enjoying the reviews. Better than those American motovloggers who wiggle the bike from left to right on a straight to test the handling and ride from traffic light to traffic light :p
Also people who complain about reliability of Aprilia have never owned one and just think: "It's Italian so it's probably rubbish." They are actually very high quality but so is the price.
Love the ending where you hit exactly 88mph and went BACK to the FUTURE...
Holy shit man, I've watched this video before but ONLY just realised at 02:59 you are driving past my house, and at 03:14 you're driving past my old school!
i have had two tuonos.got the factory now..it is a shame people are now realising they are so good..i used to be on my own with the tuono..but don,t mind sharing a remarkable bike!
Great vid :) Always felt a bit strange about the Tuono - never quite sat well with me that people consider it a naked bike, but after watching I get it - it's more upright than a sports bike. Loved the traction control demo too - amazing how much grip those tyres have given the power of the bike.
The Tuono is simply he king of all nakeds.
Not in this department. motorcycle.com.vsassets.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/2016-aprilia-tuono-v4-1100-factory-vs-ktm-1290-super-duke-r-hp-torque-dyno-547x389.jpg
I have a few different motorbikes,
I LOVE my RSV4 RF. I❤my Tuono track bike. I honor and respect them both... and that's love to me.
Hi. After two extended test rides, the offer of free leathers in May and the MCN review, I traded my 4 year old HP4 for a new Tuono. Lamb Chops, I have to say I do agree with you that these bikes are for serious bikers. By that I mean guy's n gals who like a fast bike and I hope can ride it safely on public roads. I don't agree that they're intimidating. If you're a mature (mentally) rider, these are definitely not intimidating. I'm of the school that power is your friend, but misuse of it will probably kill you. Every day people who can't use power safely kill themselves. On that basis my recommendation is to leave this bike off your list if you're a nutter, the type who like to big themselves up down the pub with 'I did this speed' type banter. Who's impressed by speed? Only other nutters. Acceleration, quality riding and power used under control is the only drug needed if you like a fast bike. If you're in that group, there won't be a better choice of bike. The Tuono Factory is utterly sublime. It only took one ride on familiar roads to confirm my decision to buy this bike. I literally welled up as I watched my HP4 leave the drive with an imposter on it and it was a brilliant brilliant BRILLIANT bike, but the Tuono rips it apart for road use. If you're teetering on the edge of buying a Tuono, even one a couple of years old - and you're in the club mentioned above - go to it. You won't regret the decision.
+KTM Christopher great comments Christopher 👍 it's a truly incredible bike and so well thought out the way everything works. Even if I didn't have the amazing engine it would still be a fantastic motorcycle but with that engine it's utterly sublime 😍😍
Well said! I bought one to add to the stable right after the test ride. Brilliant bike!
Great review Chops, well done to Aprilia for lending the machine for a proper review.
Thanks Damion appreciated
Just get one Chopsy! I bought a 2016 tuono factory after watching your review on standard tuono, and I absolutely love it! Great video by the way, loved the drone shot at the beginning. 👍
Thanks Michael
MICHAEL JOLLEY any problems with the bike yet?
Jayden Valentine. No issues at all. Think the old belief that Italian bikes have reliability issues is a thing of the past. The finish on the bike is quality and it's got some of the best Bosch electronics around. Fantastic bike
On italian aprilia forums where there are several 2017 owners they reported the following minor annoyances:
- engine overheating on really hot days and slow riding/traffic situations
- engine turning off/stalling when clutching in between 2nd/1st gear, supposedly fixed with ecu update
- bike losing slightly more power than previous models when riding at heights (>1500m sea level), supposedly due to euro4 compliance
Other than that everyone seem to be enjoying the bike, some already started swapping that euro4 boiler exhaust along with aprilia's race ecu map and seems like everything's fixed.
Touching the throttle does NOT disengage cruise control. In fact, you can OVERTAKE vehicles without disengaging ; Increase speed by as much as 15 mph +/- with the throttle, overtake, let go of throttle, and it will come back down to original setting.
RoadRunner I was going to say the same thing. Now, if he happens to be rolling forward on the throttle, that does disengage cruise.
Hi Lamb Chop, been watching your vids this evening. Tested the 2017 Super Duke and 2017 MT10 from PH Motorcycles on the weekend. I personally found the Super Duke a little agricultural but loved the handling (suspension and brakes). I found the riding position more supermoto style (i'm 6'2'' and lean, 11.5 stone). Loved the MT10 engine, it's smooth and spins up so fast, suspension rather soft and brakes pretty wooden in feel compared with the Brembos on the Duke. With a little setup time and new pads etc on the MT10 I'm sure it would be sweet. In fact i nearly put a deposit on an ex demo with an Akra as good price. Always wanted a Tuono but thought it was out of price range. Have found a good deal on a pre-reg on the RR version and excellent finance deal so will be putting a deposit tomorrow morning. Thanks for the vids, you have made up my mind after much procrastination! I see you ride around West Sussex, see you on the A272 some time! Peace and love big man!
+jake mcdonagh thanks matey and glad I could be of help. You won't go wrong with the Tuono that's for sure and agree with your comments. I need to try the mt10 again and am kinda tempted with the SP as suspension should be dialed on that.. need to find a demo! Say hi if you see me 👍
I tested the same bikes and ended up with the Tuono RR as well. It just ticked more boxes for me. And that noise....
Great series of reviews! The traction control on this bike is amazing and a lifesaver!
It's quite interesting, the topic of cost and which is highest. I'm in Canada and the KTM is thousands more than anything else. The Ape, Yamaha, and BMW are all merely hundreds apart from each other. So, that made my decision on the 17 Tuono a no brainer! Plus the only dealer for hours is in my town!
I'm a new sub to your channel , I live no the Triumph factory ,, have been riding since I was 12 and now 53 ,, not long got rid of a Zx10r that I loved however poor self control with the wrist on throttle and considered I should slow down at my time of life hence I now own a speed cripple ,,, good review and this bike would be on my hit list no doubts ,, thanks for the review take care Shane
+shaneweightman welcome Shane 👍
Nice reviews LCR, very thorough. I have an 1199s but due to a back injury I'm after a more comfortable but equally thrilling bike. I took the touno factory out for a test ride and I couldn't believe how easy it was to ride and very comfortable! It has a wild side to which I like and sounds mint when it's opened up. The panigale is now up for sale to fund one of these!
+Nathan Cartawick yes I absolutely love them, I think that V4 engine is just incredible and everything else is also just as well thought out. Good luck with the duc sale and role on some v4 action 😎
That actually turned out great bc it allows us to see tc in action because I'm one of those guys saying tc is in your wrist but that was cool.
Chops is about to get his mack on 🤣
that gunshot in the last clip
Had one for the weekend and after owning a 2017 superduke I can only say wow what a bike. Took the wife out on Sunday and she loved it, steady Ish ride and 42 mpg. An order has been placed 👍🏼
+Mark Shirley good to hear Mark amazing isn't it!
Lamb Chop Rides was shocked at how good it is. Just to open the garage to look at it is enough to make my loins stir and the sound ! Counting down the days.
Seems the KTM would feel a lot more alive at most revs. motorcycle.com.vsassets.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/2016-aprilia-tuono-v4-1100-factory-vs-ktm-1290-super-duke-r-hp-torque-dyno-547x389.jpg
@@exothermal.sprocket that is a 2016 tuono
@@DMT09 Certainly. And the 2018-19 cannot be dramatically different.
Thank you for such an excellent and comprehensive review of the Tuono. I test rode one yesterday and agree with you that it is a superb bike. The nicest I have ever ridden. I do disagree with you one issue though. You mentioned in one of your videos that the bike is quite intimidating to ride. I consider myself to be a competent rider, certainly not as experienced or as capable as you, and yet, I was very surprised to find how easy the bike is to ride. Certainly, it is extremely powerful and can be a hooligan, but I love way that it can be ridden in a docile" mode and how versatile it is. For example, I had no difficulties riding it in traffic. I will definitely buy one (I am lucky enough to own a Triumph Thruxton 1200R and the new Ducati Supersport S).
+Nigel Livingston thanks Nigel, It really is something special and if you can afford one it's a no brainer! It is very easy to ride but also seriously quick so can get you in trouble very easily that was my point. Nice collection of bikes BTW, tuono will finish the collection off nicely 😎 well until the next bike of course 👍
Nice video LCR, I love this style of review ;0) ....what is it with the no fuel gauge thing??? Anyway, despite that, stunning looking bike, I would love a go on one of those one day - if only I knew how to get in touch with Aprilia!! Silverstone you say.....
+TheMissendenFlyer yes no response to my email yet TMR, will give him a nudge for ya 👍
Very kind of you...thanks....and keep up the great videos, lovin' your work!
Keep it up! Looking forward for more videos from you, don't stop!
Thanks dude
i saw a dyno of the rsv4 2017 (not tuono) and it is flawless => even the guy who did the dyno never saw such a surgical tune from a standard bike => i'm realy considering buying one because i sat on one in 2012 and the bike seems to be cut for my body , that's how it felt and i didn't even rode the bike just sat on it .
now with the new one with the TFT and the lighter pistons etc. it looks like perfect .
i know the aprilia had some problems with the trottle response in the beginnig etc. but to me it realy looks like the bike has become as perfect and flawless as can be .
for the price => knowing aprilia is a small company you get well worth for what you pay for in my opinion ;-)
Yes I saw that dyno run, Aprilia truly cracked it with this bike and the RSV4 this year, both amazing!
Nice Vid. I think you wraped up the stunning features of this bike very good. At my size (6 foot) the wind shield is perfect. As you mentioned, you really have to think hard to find cons. None of the cons you or others mentioned are true to me. Even more pros: when you start to adjust the suspension, you can adjust the bike to your riding Styles .
One comment on the fueling: i know a couple of tuono riders and no one is complaining about the fueling. if fueling is yout main concern, buy a BMW GS. Other Example: a Piangale is crazy thirsty. Also nobody complains there. I have had great fuel consumtion on a speed tripple. would i buy one because of this? no way.
Beautiful photography. You have a drone?
Oh, love the little "outtakes" at the end, too.
I prefer the V4 over the Superduke any day. The sound those things make is just unbelievable.
Once Ive had the Superduke for a couple of weeks will know for sure :-) Its going to have to be good to beat this though!
Yeah, I bet. Good luck making that decision lol.
Lamb Chop Rides if wheelies is your melody ...then Sd probobly is your choise 😛
I don't mind riding in the rain it's also entertaining the only problem I have riding in the rain is bad car drivers
Great video Lamb - loved the video review for Tuono
Thanks matey
You don't need to pay 16 k for a tuono . I've just bought one brand new with akra Carbon can and race map from Via Moto in Sheffield for 14800 . Think that's the same price as a superduke when you add the track pack. Tuono slaughters the duke when you start really moving.
Debating trading my 09 CBR 1K TRAns for one but the stealership offers 4000 Candian for my cbr and wants 14000 plus tax (13 percent) which works out to some 11k to finance. Dunno if its worth it.
How can you fully test a Bike without twisty roads? :)
this is the English way.
Loved this review!
+Phantom Rides thanks dude! More to come 👍
Great review enjoyed all of them. If you're silverstone way again bacon rolls are on me.
Excellent review. Look forward to the next.
Mr Lamb, could you review both the 2017 KTM 690 SMR and the new 2017 Husky 701 if it's any different to yours.
I'd also be keen to know why KTM done a few limited 2017 SMR as trying to buy a new one is like impossible now.
Well it doesn't have rain mode but traction control works well in adverse conditions without problems?, I'd like do some touring in the future!
I wanted a Tuono but couldn’t afford. Got the Dorsoduro 900 on sale $6500 usd
good vid, you lucky man, i bet you was a tad gutted to take it back in that weather not being able to enjoy yourself as much, are you thinking of having one ?
return of the mac! 😂 Is the aprilia worth the money chops? I know you get what you pay for but 16k? ouch! What brand is next after the aprilia chops? keeps up the good work m8.
The RR Tuono is 15k without the Ohlins.. SuperDuke is 14k or for some bargain fun with almost all the fun but short on the looks is the MT-10 at just over 10K! The GSX-S1000 is also very good now they sorted the throttle response
Lamb Chop Rides. Cheers for the info chops, top man! 🖒
Keep it up!
Great video as always. If you could only pick one....... SDR or Tuono???
Chops put a new pair of gloves on your xmas list...although I think alpinestar should send you a free pair with all the advertising you give them!
Yeah good idea hehe :-)
Found this review in my research for STR upgrade and love it so much have subscribed! Likely looking at two bike strategy as love my old r too much to part with but need help to decide🤔
Thanks very much 👍
Hi Lamb new to your channel whicxh i found looking for Tuono reviews :) I expect its been asked before but whats the make and model of your backpack/vest looks like just what i need for my commutes :)
+Sharpy NI welcome Sharpy, it's an Ogio flight vest. It's a mountain biking vest but perfect for the bike 👍
Great review. Just bought the 17 RR. Where can I find that red key ring?
What is the rr like, I'm looking at getting one in march
another to notch vid.
Damn that looks fun. Still think my sphincter would be clenched so hard if it spun up like that ahhaa. Had my first taste of a 'big bike' on the roads today in the form of an A2 MT07, and coming from my R125 what a blast. Good news is that I now have my A2 Mod 1 all done :D Mod 2 next week, bad news my bike doesnt arrive until august :/ Think im gonna have to do some test-rides, albeit on A2 bikes not tuonos and superdukes ;)
oh, and what a fly-by at the end. Makes a great noise
I tried an MT07 a few months back, never did a video but really liked it! Super fun little bike with amazing wheelie potential :) great news about the A2 Mod 1, wont be long you will soon be on the new bike!
Lamb Chop Rides I feel like the whole MT07 range has a great engine but then Yamaha cost cut on everything else. Everything is plasticy and feels cheap 🤔But for a 6k bike, it's a cheap way to get a bike that has plenty power for the road, and usable power for that matter. I've got no nails left be been waiting so long 😉 Been on order since January 🙄😂
Again would love one but it's more expensive than my dream bike and even more to ensure probably
Love your videos. wish it was me on that machine my dream bike but i got my gsxs1000 the closets i get to my dream :) that bag/west u got where can i get that looks awesome. keep doing what your doing not missed any of your videos.
Thanks dude! The jacket is an Ogio Flight Vest, its supposed to be for cycling but perfect for the bike.
Ahh but what did they give you to ride back on Mr Chops??
Did you find that it hunts or surges when held steady around 5,000rpm? Seems many do , with or without Aprilia Akrapovic and the race ECU.
Cancel that. Seems it was on ‘cruise’! D’oh.
Hi chops just for road use would u buy new tuono or duke ?
Let depreciation and patience be your friend Chopsy.
The first owner will take the biggest hit, then bag yourself a nice low mileage ape in about 2 years...
Chops I know different animals but if someone offered you the basic Tuono or S1000rr for you to own which one? Also any info on dealer / part support as there is rumours on reliability?
The S1000R isnt my favorite naked find the straight 4 engine a little dull so basic Tuono for me :-) Aprilia isnt a huge company hence why in the past people have complained about parts availability. They have improved in the past few years and now wouldnt concern me, also no reports of common issues from what I can find..
+Lamb Chop Rides cheers, I meant vs the RR but I suppose it would be same answer as the same inline 4 engine. Looking forward to some RSV4 footage
I've just reserved this bike (2019 superpole) instead of the shiver 900.
But have some friends that are putting fear to my body, saying that
it's too much of a bike, unmanageable, or saying i wont enjoy riding
it on open road.
Any thoughts on this, i made a mistake? thanks!
No the electronics are very good and add a brilliant safety net. Just take it easy you will be fine 👍
It's totally manageable. The only issue, for me anyway, is that it's SO GOOD that you ride like an absolute twat without feeling like you are. Knee down off exits and the bike is like "You could've done that at least 15mph faster!". Dusting all my friends when I'm on it and I'm not even trying, I'm just having a good time.
@@Jay-yg8jj I totally agree with you, the bike is a beast, I'm really enjoying it!
Thanks!
how is the heat from the engine? my friend's 2017 rsv4 rf apparently likes roasting his left leg at red lights lol.
Sitting at lights on a moderate to hot day, you will feel the heat from the engine. Once you start moving, it's fine. If ambient temp is below 23-24 celsius, it's fine.
Yep, the exhaust from the rear cylinders is pretty close to your left leg. Only felt it frying me once, stuck on a motorway traffic jam with narrow lanes on a hot day in May, other than that no issues (I wear full leathers, jeans might be a different story)
It didn't have heated grip isn't it?
Marubido The Marbid Nope.
My wife work at that petrol station lol
I have ridden the tuona and own the new rsv4rf, I think it is silly to say u don't need a sports bike. Do u need a 1000cc bike period? No
The military doesn't need a mach-4 capable jet either.
you dont do rain ? the year has got 365 days and in UK 320 days of it rains so you are not really riding anything :)
+Tan Cakar haha very true!
if you would own a superduke and this one. which would you commute on and which would you use on weekends? :^)
+Itzak good question, I think commute on SD as you can be lazy with more grunt and less gear changes. Better options for luggage when you need to cary stuff also. Both can do either though, tuono more focused on out and out performance.
Hahaha😂😂😂 Trusting Italian electronics.😳😳😳.
haha well they are Bosch so German in my books :-)
Bosch actually. So no worries.
Still fitted by Italians.
Psycho Paul
Prefer Noales workmanship over KTMs rupee staffed one
this unlocking concept is just like DLC for games right. Its just pure cancer
Fuel Economy: Not if you are using a RACE ECU.
It's an amazing machine but for that price I would get the new Fireblade.
No not as a road bike, this is the ultimate road bike you dont need sports bikes!
Too uncomfortable. These 1100 Tuono's have loads more grunt. Just what you need for the road.
Hi lamb, what do you think about the 790 Duke ? Here is a picture of the test bike i1.wp.com/blog.garagenhomepage.de/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/d790_1.jpg
Yes saw the photos, looks great!! Hope they produce it really do
fukin A
please don't make the RSV intro thingy so long, thanks
It's the Tuono in the intro not the RSV
Even the 1st gen rsv4r is better than this
No it isn't.
9enius why?
More power, less weight, and aprc has had same tech for years
Hmmm, Okayyy ! 🤣
