- The 2006 Aprilia Tuono is going, so Dave needs a replacement. But what will it be?
Sensible commuter scooter?
Fire breathing red beast?
Nice practical car? Well, let's not get carried away now!
Find out what Dave's bought, why he did it, what's good and what needs some attention.

LOL at your synopsis of all the manufacturers. "Haven't collected my pension yet!" Spot on! As for the looks of Kawasaki and Yamaha...again spot on! It's an odd odd world when the most sensible choices are either Italian or British made 😂
had one of these after the 749, awesome bike, comfotable, easy to ride, great everywhere, couldnt get enough of it, sadly my last bike as i had to stop riding due to als, but what a great bike.
Real shame you had to stop riding, i hope the vids help relive the good times
Possibly one of the best handling and sounding road bikes ever produced? The engine is a peach and so is the chassis. Looking forward to the content and yes, it has to be an Akra on these to let it sing. 👍Enjoy!
It won't be an akra on mine!!
I've owned both generations of the tuono and love my mostly stock 16 factory. I added Rizoma M008 bars for my shorter arms and now it fits like a glove.
The Aprilia V4 has the best sounding engine on the planet
I bought a 2018 Tuono factory a few years back, still have it and it is the best bike I have ever owned, by a long way. Looking forward to seeing more of this.
Sounded like it was gunna be a KTM 890 R due to your preferred spec's and whilst the V4 was basically idling. Glad you got another Tuono, between my brother & I we own 5 Tuono's 1 of each Gen lol ps: Vid's of them all on my channel.
You don't need no more than 125bhp on the road...... I'd agree with that comment.
I feel you may regret your decision swapping out the V2 for the V4 when you find yourself adjusting the valves every 5th latte on the BP rewards card.
Having raced a 2011 rsv4 I do accept there may be a little more maintenance. Luckily they have improved since the early bikes
Now we are waiting for valve adjustment
It always made me grin whenever I slung my leg over it! Long may it give you miles of smiles too. It’s that noise tho….😮…so addictive!
Brilliant. great reveal!!! Although...My money was on it being a BMW!!! enjoy!
Put the OEM Ti Akrapovic can back on, the valve means it quite when you want or need then a musical instrument when away from the fuzz or neighbours 👍
When in doubt, V4! 😊
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !
Welcome to V4 power Dave! I love my RR with the Graves slip on. The Aprilia race map wade the bike soooo much better. Like this is how it should have been all along, I also do enjoy my Street Triple R 675 with full Ktech DDS Pro ;). Thanks for the great videos, keep them coming!
I test rode the 2018 version of this bike. Absolutely loved it, the sound is the most addictive thing I've ever heard. Looking forward to the improvements that will tailor the bike exactly to your needs.
Love my 2020 in matt black…
I knew it, before you said it 😊✊
Probably the best looking 2and hand bike around
Brilliant bike, brilliant choice 🙂 Happy Days Dave 👍
Glad to hear you've set your heart on a Chinese 125, Dave.
A great choice.
Congrats on the V4 Factory! currently a 2018 Factory is my daily rider too!
Looking forward to seeing you work on this
I have done exactly the same switch three years ago. Fantastic choice, it won‘t disappoint.
You should consider a shiftholder for finding neutral a bit easier, as you said, a new shifter and the forged alloys. They completely change the way, this bike feels.
Don't they have forged alloys as standard? Do you mean carbon fibre?
Great choice Dave, loving my 2018 RR. I had the Akra race can and map and the butterfly valve removed. I added an RSV4 belly pan too.
Stunning bike Dave cant wait to see the mods.
Lovely😎 Enjoy it to the max! I Love my Gen 1 to bits, a V4 would be waaaay to much for me😄
Congrats! Own a 2016 but crashed it a couple of years ago. Yesterday, I bought a 2021 Factory model. Such a great bike. 👍🏻😀
Excellent choice Dave. Have to agree with your description of the Japanese manufacturers
Awesome man!! Also my dream Bike. Please make a good Video about Suspension dialing in , maybe upgrading, Tyres, tyres pressure.
How tall and heavy are you?
Thanks Harald.
When you were talking, I thought why not a newer Tuono! Obvious choice! I would have one but I do a lot of two up riding.
Bloody fantastic Dave!🇮🇹 Italian all the way! You’re going to have to start eating Tiramisu! Apple Crumble is out.
Looking forward to the new videos on the new tuono Dave
Epic upgrade! I definitely see one of these in my future. 👏
Hi Dave - you can remove the locking screw in the +/- controller and rotate it to match your new desired position of the clutch. Just use some good quality 3M double sided tape to bong the +/- control to the other switchgear on the left (turn signals, menu buttons, etc).
Had a sneak preview of this when I collected my quiet Rs660 👍
Good choice
Great vid again Dave. Motorbike fun indeed
When you realise the error of your ways, you’re welcome to have a go on my 765RS. Mind you, I’ll need a blast out on your V4 in return, just to be sure of course. Kev got himself a good bike as well.
We'll have to do a back to back test review!!
I had two gen 2’s and obviously moved on to a v4. Mine was early 1000 model but, with rsv4 rear end. Agree with all your comments… I sadly sold mine as I heard a few horror stories about engines letting go.
The early engines had a little too much character and not enough quality control. Luckily they have improved since then
Great choice… miss my RSV4 1100 Factory 👍
Best to go with the heart in this case. New secondhand bike is gorgeous. I'm a sucker for the older Tuono with the dual pipes. Love the overall look. Over here in the states (Long Island) the prices are decent too. There's an 07 minter on Craigslist 9671 miles for $6500. I paid $3800 for my 2014 Shiver 750 with 7000 miles on it. Why would anyone buy new? Good luck with it. Thanks for the vid.
Quite right, pre enjoyed is the way to go
That's a great looking bike love the V4 but stick to the apple crumble after all it ticks all the boxes
I think you led us up the garden path a bit "you only need 130 bhp for the road ...."
Nice bike though.
Good glad you got something else that you are happy with,, be a good series of videos,, here in northern Ireland,, don't know what service or back up the bike would have,,rated in any tests,,so your series will be useful ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️👍
Marvellous Wavey, looking forward to one of our back-to-back comparisons with my 2020 version with the akra/ecu upgrade which you got slightly carried away on whilst checking the fuelling a couple of months ago if I remember rightly! Maybe you could share with the viewers the settings you have already dialled into my electronic suspension which have improved the ride even further.
Now that will be a great road test review... For spring!
Dave.i own a 18 tuono,and i'm now eying the NEW S1000R which of course is the S1000RR with high bars,not full fairing...and 200 HP.i think it's gonna be he bomb,the king of the hyper naked bikes...nothing wrong with the tuono and its deficient valve train that must be kept in check too regularly,but you know....the german reliability and power would be welcome after years of the italian ''''sensitivity'''' lol.don't get me wrong.the tuono owns one of the best chassis and engine for the road,but i'm getting tired of the under cooled motor, which i ruled out by installing a on-off switch so i can activates the fans myself, a samco hose system +engine ice coolant.......there is simply some circumstances i refuses to ride this bike,the big city being the most annoying setting for this bike; i cannot support seeing my bike's engine getting toasted because the fooking aprilia deficient cooling system ,so after a lot of miles in the mountains,and on the racetrack,mostly track days,i'm due for a change,and i guess the new hyper naked beemer will be it.if ever aprilia upgrade the 1100 engine and the problematic parts and designs,i might get back to it,but i've been there and done all that with it.
Brilliant !
great choice 👍
Dave, was really hoping you’d chosen a KTM 890R. I have a tuono vtwin and seems the natural modern choice. Good luck
I'm not a particular ktm fan, nothing especially against them, they just don't float my boat
MT10 no question about it !!
Cheap suspension and hit every branch in the ugly tree. It's a no from me 😉
Oh well we all not love the same girl.
If I was in the market for a supernaked it would have to be a tuono 1100
cool!
have you done the thicker earth cable Dave? I haven't heard the newer ones needing it but yours also has 17k miles which is long enough to have uncovered the issue.
Not as far as I know but starts easily cold and hot so doesn't need it
Great choice Dave, I'm also thinking of upgrading my 2011 v2 to a v4 model. You didn't go for a 2017 onwards model with the tft and electronics...do you not think it is much better?
I'm not entirely sure how much changed for 17, although a nicer dash I wouldn't say no to!
auto blipper was standard in 17 also I think that was the first year of electronic Ohlins, though it could be ‘18…
This would be my next choice after the Gen 2. Does this year come with the electronic Ohlins suspension?
Manual Ohlins on mine, which I'm perfectly happy with
Hey dave, lovely bike 🤩 What's your opinion on the street triple 675, if you've had any experience with them? I'm looking to get one as a second bike to rag around the yorkshire twisties 😅
Great bikes. Light, fun, revvy. You'd have miles of smiles on one. Go for the R as the base model suspension is very basic
@@obsession_engineering Must save harder for the R version! Cheers
Bringing it to the SPMHC next year?
It would be awesome!
Very nice, what did Rich get?
A v4 multistrada. He's lucky enough to have a couple of toys
@@obsession_engineering Arh, so he has joined the Barley club 🤣
Well that's... Brilliant. 😹
Did you look at any BMWs?
I don't like the looks of the s1r. Great engines but not quite enough character
Brilliant 😂
Baja ..
