"I've gotta stop cursing"
"Fuck off with your comments"
10/10
+Leftist Marxman hahahaha
Selling my s1000rr atm and buying one of these in a couple of weeks. Appreciate the review. As a sidenote, get out and do a trackday. You'll not regret it.
"Theres so much that goes into these videos that you guys don't see" Truer words couldn't be spoken! I bust my ass in my studio then head to the range to get the action scenes. Between that and piles of B-roll and editing. People have NO idea 😂
one of the best track bike in current time .. aprilia rsv4 hiphip hurrraaaah
I hope some MV Agusta designers can find work at Aprilia. An Italian bike can not have a dated design.
67claudius man you are so true.saw an Rf which is the superior in a way model next to a 2017 r1 basic blue not m or anything in a used bikes showroom . And rf which was also like 4k more than the r1 unfortunatelly the looks were like you were comparing a 90s bike vs the new r1. I had a factory 2010 rsv4 . Back then it was one of the most beautiful bikes. But is like aprilia they cut all their costs on looks and threw all their money to engine develop and electronics . Kinda like suzuki. With better brakes😂
I had a test ride a few days ago at that dealership and big kudos to the staff for allowing me to test ride with no hassle especially since they were so short staffed at the time. Absolutely loved the bike! Pros: Power was very manageable, tons of torque down low and can't get enough of that V-4 sound! I ride a VFR so I'm a huge fan. Love the display and electronics package. You def get a lot for your money. Clutchless upshift and downshift was awesome but took me a bit to get used to. Cons: Very tall bike (I'm 5'7 so I was very apprehensive at stops as I was tiptoeing!) ; I would consider switching to a 190 rear to bring it down a bit; ergos was what you expect of a superbike but surprisingly not too bad. Now i just got to find some space in my garage:)
Nice review. I love Aprilia but I found the 17 RSV4 really uncomfortable compared to other sports bikes, and that was riding on track.
Thanks for the input! This comment will definitely help future buyers (especially track fanatics) make their decision.
Why you quit making videos..I loved you stuff
What a great machine aprillia has made again. But no fuel gauge? Not smart on a hyperbike imo
I know right?? Almost seems like they did it on purpose. It's like their trademark
The dream bike
That's my favorite liter bike right now! Amazing sound, amazing performance and gorgeous looks!
Check, check, and check!
And yes you can get a rear seat. When i bought my RF it came with a seat but I never use it
mine came with a rear seat... bought new,,theres really nothing that it doesn't come with..the option for an exhaust...if you want to change the pipe you have to buy a race ecu from aprilia or you can run lean... theres other flash tunes that work with aftermarket pipes but it voids your warranty unless u use the aprilia ecu and have the dealer install it..or buy the hideous aprilia approved akrapovich which comes with an unlock code to unlock the race mode in the factory ecu...cost 1800 for the approved akrapovich
RSV4 is a nice ride, plenty of power etc. BMW S1000RR is still my favourite though, more refined all round.
Nice review!!!
+MR 007 thanks man!! I agree, the s1000rr is both more refined and more suited as a daily
Thank you for showing off this beautiful bike Duke.
Aprilia....FTW!!!!
Lol. "That moves. That really really moves"
Like a freight train lolol
this looks a great first bike
I want one now!
Hi.how easily and accurately is this motorcycle controlled?how easily does it change direction and tilt?
George Washington Parkway is pretty chill once you get passed Old Town. That's where I usually open up my RSV4
I have terrible luck :/ but this time around it was all clear :D
DukeOfDC what side road was that towards the end? I usually ride all of George Wash, but some of the roads you're on don't look familiar. Always looking for nice local roads.
That was actually the GeorgeTown Pike. It's one exit from GWP
You nailed this review!! Nice job.
If you put an Akra pipe and the race ecu on that bike .. then have it tuned to your weight ... and there is no better super bike out there today.
+Heli thanks man!! It's a fantastic bike, and it would be made insanely good with your additions
It's not as if the fuel gauge comes on late, should have plenty of time to fill up, and should have topped up if starting a long trip anyway.
As I see it, the style is good, no real need to play about and muck it up.
There is a seat that fits in the tail section, it's as wide as the fins, so no fatties.
Ye old chief She is s thirsty bike.
Loved the review.. someone should make a integrated middle finger ride, so next time we show a finger , the people in the car can see it more clearly :D
How is the 135i doing?
+Boosted One the 135 is great man! Still stock, trying to work out some warranty things before I mod anything
DukeOfDC oh ok. Cant wait for the mods!
Same here man!!
Im amazed at how affordable this bike currently is! I can get a 2018 RR right now at my local dealer brand new for $13,999! What am I missing???
You're not missing a thing! The "old" model years sell for pennies on the dollar once the 2019 and now 2020 models are bound for the showroom floor.
Yes indeed I was waiting for this
Hope it lived up to the hype!
I've been trolling all your videos and you ride the same routes I ride haha. Definitely subbing!
+Oscar Espinoza hahaha love it man! Thanks for the sub!
Once again an awesome review. Keep going mate
Once again comments like this make my day! Thank you :)
Enjoyed the review. I think this could be the best superbike if they updated the styling AND the frame, along with some better, cleaner color schemes. However, with ducati bringing out a V4 panigale it might be game over for Aprilia. haha
+Jaret Campisi thanks for the input man! Totally agree that the V4 Ducati puts out could be a deal breaker or the second coming for Aprilia. Can someone sale variable valve timing 65 degree V4 RSV4?!
Do you really think everyone who buys a $17K Aprilia is going to buy a $30K Ducati V4? haha
but will ducati's v4 be in the same price range with an auto blipper?
Don't think so. Aprilia is a lot cheaper and a lot more reliable.
+Skid Kritter I think most people with the money for an RF would buy an S or base model Panigale V4 or whatever they may call it
@+Duke of DC I'm starting to ride bikes now. I'm currently on a ninja 300 for about 2 months now. I really like Aprilia, but they was just too much engine for me to be my FIRST bike ever. So how long do you think would be enough time to go from 300 bike to a 1000 bike?
Chadford Morris miles my man. Miles under your belt is all you need. No time set time or exact number. But you’ll know when you know. I’m guessing since you are already asking them you are getting there. Come out and test ride some. That helps too
Hey Duke, very important question. I'm 6'3" and very interested in this bike. Would you say someone of that height will have any ergo difficulties on this bike? I'm currently on a 05 R1 and that fits me pretty nicely.
Don't know how much is 6'3" exactly (I am from Italy) and I don't know if at the end you bought the bike. Anyway I am 1.81 meters and my 18' RF is slightly, just slightly small for me. It is something I noticed the first time i rode it and now this sensation disappeared but that's not a big bike. Japanese bikes like R1 are definetly bigger. Also they don't feel as near as special too :)
This was an awesome review buddy
+Noorani Mookhith thank you 😊
Hi, Duke. Would you consider riding a Guzzi V7? Especially a Racer. Would love to see your opinion on it. I know it is not the typical bike you ride, but still. Cheers, great video as usually.
+Daniel Braga appreciate it! La Moto carries this bike so I should totally be able to take this out
Come check it. I got one ready to ride!
I got a V7 racer but I am on the other side of the Atlantic to offer a ride :D
Been waiting for this one boiiiii XD
+HoneyJaffa :D thanks fam!
I live in Stafford and want to save but I get shit pay like the rest of the Americans, how did you pay for your bike and how you saved for it?
I was actually just testing this bike out, but I generally work hard to save money in preparation for buying a new bike. Make your money work for you with smart diversified investments and always do your research!
This is the first time I've seen you without your helmet on , your not what I thought you might look like ? I guess I was trying to match your voice to your look !
Haha, oh dang. I've got a few other vlogs out there where I show my face.
Love your review videos. Need to do more of them. How about the new Indian Scout Bobber?
+Wolf359 Indian bikes are unfortunately not very easy to find near me, but it one comes up I'll totally try and take it out!
Just a side note, I live in the area and I plan to buy a used RSV4 from La Moto. By chance, is it a possibility that they can get a particular used model that I want?
Hmmm, I don’t know. They usually just sell the used inventory that they have on hand
DukeOfDC Gotcha. Also, do you know of any sport bike riding groups in the area or do I just need to ride around until I see one?
I would start out with going to cars and coffee and bikes and breakfast! You’ll find a fair deal of rider groups frequent these events, especially at bikes and breakfast
@@DukeOfDC Oh okay, that sounds likea GREAT plan! Thank you for all of your help! =D
Of course! The cars and coffee events are at Katie’s Coffee House and Dunkin (sterling), and the bikes and breakfast is in Clifton, VA. Google that information for the details and COVID rescheduling
Geek fact. Tuonos are very slightly louder than RSV4s. True story. Might be why they called it "Tuono"(thunder Italian) I guess... 🤔 👀
Can't wait for you to try out the cbr1000rr. Honestly I can't wait to try it out myself. I tried out the Ninja 1000 and the ZX10 recently and I loved both.
I need to find someone in the DMV who owns one that would be willing to let me ride it!
DukeOfDC holy shizz I test rode this bike today. I like the RSV4 rr A LOT.
This is my dream bike !! I currently have a 2017 zx6r and I have so much fun in it but the aprilia v4 sound is the best sounding motor you can buy ! The RSV4 RF I my opinion is the best bike you can buy outside of the 80 thousand dollar BMW HP4 race
"just an amg gts" he says..."still a nice car" he says. dude probably cruises around in ferraris
Man oh man I'm really debating between trading in my '17 Daytona 675r for this or an s1000rr, I love the TFT on the Aprilia but I know the '18 S1000rr is gonna have one. Only thing is I'm worried about being an early adopter of an entirely new platform, plus the S1000rr is quite a bit more expensive with the premium package.
GDiesel why don't you like the 675r? It's not even a year old yet
He want's that arm-ripping-out-of-his-sockets power :D
Life's short my man, I say if you have the financials to do it, then you should "Treat yo self" the 2018 s1000rr although very much new, will likely have very little early adopter issues. I'd say you'll be perfectly safe buying one and you'll have a mega mega bike.
GDiesel Get the Aprilia V4 over the inline 4....you will be blown away! I ride mine just to listen to it...seriously....it's a ridiculous experience. I can't stop smiling when I ride it.
I have and Rsv4 RR 17 and i love it.. i had an ninja 2007-2008 and wasant even close and wasant that idk.... u just feel like you fly with Aprilia. I got it 1 week ago and i'm still scared to go crazy even if i love to go crazy. BUT I FUCKING LOVE TO REV THE SHIT OUT OF HER
The RSV4 is truly a work of art
How is the maintenance cost of an Aprilia compared to a Japanese bike, let's say R1?
I think these days the intervals are the same, but the cost would be maybe 10-15% higher. That being said, if you went to a local shop rather than dealership then I think you could easily get the work done for a comparable rate.
at 12000 miles you have to go back in for a valve adjustment... they wouldn't tell me how much it is either....depends on how many valves are out of adjustment
You reviewed the 2016 so well I was wondering when was you going to jump on the 2017
+Mr. D .Bowen thanks man!! It was only a matter of time, and honestly I'm not sure why I water so long lol
Far as comfortable do you think it's less aggressive then the 959 Ducati
Actually I would say it is. I personally feel like I "fit" better on the 959, but I love this RSV4 is less painful on my wrists.
1 more question so if u had to choose and had the money which one would you pick 959 or Rsv4 RR
Street triple rs please please please
Soon!! I have a Triumph hook up again!
You know what, other people don't have to pay your hospital bills if you get wrecked, because some shit-poster complained you were riding too slow. That's how I would ride the bike under 95% of conditions, and you're also on OPP. You wreck it, you just bought a $23,000 piece of modern art.
+Bryan Hallman preach my man, preach!! In glad someone agrees with me!
Oh, right, the RF is $23K... You still get socked with all the taxes & fees, though. www.ridenowchandler.com/default.asp?page=xNewInventoryDetail&id=3444934&p=1&make=aprilia&vc=sport&s=Year&d=D&t=new&vt=motorcycle%20%2F%20scooter&fr=xNewInventory
For real man... out the door on a $17k bike is more like 18.5 depending on where you live.
Love it , But give me the plain gloss black
Bruce Wayne would approve!
the guy looks alike chaseontwowheels
Thank you? I think lol
Do you think this Tuono is too much for a first bike?
Naaa bro....
175hp and 86ft lbs sounds just about right.
0 to 60 in 2.6 seconds.
lmao
hope u are kidding.
sv 650....fz 07....kawi 650 would be much better.
i rode a tuono,almost too much for me 6 yrs. experience and fz 09 owner
fastest bike in its class and faster than many supersports
Thanks bro. I know its too much, but kinda need that closure...
KeystoneInc I hope you're talking about the new Tuono 125?
KeystoneInc Tuono was my first bike. It will make you respect it real quick or else.
this or the tuono? or monster 1200s
Go with torque. Monster.
What's the intro song?
I love Aprilia. I own a 2016 RSV4 RF and I love it. Mine is #84 just beautifully powered machines and I think the bike is nimble as fuck in the twisties i know on the rf it has ohlins and the are crazy light too but my RF feels just as nimble as my 600rr.. Ps fuck a fuel gauge lol
Demonitized.
Nice review!
Thank you!!
Aprilia knows what they're doing? The handlebars aren't even straight.
Steering Dampner???
Yes haha. It's a hydraulically controlled piston that effectively dampens the steering rake of a motorcycle to prevent tank slapping, among other things.
Your language? Like driving behind a hog trailer full of pigs with indigestion. Now be sure to get upset and tell me to off.
Otherwise, it's a great machine. Sort of guzzles fuel like a 454 Chevy though. Compare to the R1? Most shootouts favor the R1 slightly.
I’m not upset with you for speaking your mind one bit!! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch the video and support my channel. It most certainly guzzles fuel. My Tuono was worse on gas than my (non-hybrid) car lol
Compared to the R1M I’d have the Yamaha, compared to just the R1, I’d have this in a heartbeat.
You're welcome!
Yeah for the street, I'm using a street bike. Haha. Race track bikes are not great at all on the street. They get fun after about 90 mph, because that's what they were designed to go.
It really is sad that my 6,500 redline 1998cc car engine pushing a 2,900 pound mass around on 4 wheels can do 42 mpg at 60mph. I know bikes are aerodynamic bricks, but still...
What gloves are those?
+NanoReef Drop I say it in the video lol they're 4 stroke
Very keen to say gloves are 4 stroke, where I can buy them? XD
Check Revzilla!
2017 CBR1000RR SP2 next please
+Adam Baker working on it!!
rsv4s sound like tractors on a video but in real life they are fucking awesome
Aditya Varma something is wrong with your audio man
citizensauto yea i know, im using apple ear pods :( But dont worry, I actually own an aprilia rsv4 rf.
This man gets the real deal on the daily!
Appreciate the backup on my audio!
you tend to look forward to riding home after work when you know whats waiting for you ;)
+DukeOfDC
Please review the new street triple RS
Soon!! I have my Triumph hook up back, so those videos will come.
You know instantly when you have a great bike reaching into it for the first time. This is an example of such a machine. I will say gassing up sucks ass! The hole is so small (thats what she said XD LOL). Seriously tho its small enough for the gas nosle only so you have no clue how much gas is in the tank as your filling. And thanks for giving me a gas gauge jesus. My only gripes. Its delicious...
Would i be fine if i bought one of these for my frirst motorcycle? lol
pretty sure they're all 1100cc now
+pxK that's both of the Tuono models, the RSV4s are 999.6cc which I believe is intentionally to keep them in the 1000cc class for racing. Anyway, check on aprilia if you don't believe me
Think you could have edited at least 10 minutes out of your video ... too much jibber jabber
I’m adding more jibber jabber to my upcoming work
DukeOfDC - Ugh - thanks for the heads up - definitely NOT subscribing
Lol deal!
