Great comparison video, I own a 2019 in black matt not thinking of upgrading mine at the moment, but I totally agree with you that if I don’t own one I would go with the latest version without a doubt.
I appreciate this video so much. I watch Hiimchad a lot, he has the older model and I have the newer model. In his videos, it seemed like his shifted way smoother than mine, so I thought there might be something wrong with my bike. After asking around, I confirmed there is a difference between the two quickshifters, but there's no answer or info on how much of a difference. I tend to shift lower in rpms out of habit as a grew up riding dirtbikes keeping them grunty gives better traction offroad. I now need to retrain my brain to let the bike Rev just a little more before shifting. Thank you.
That's what surprised me most, well, as much as anything, about my spectacular '17 Tuono V4 was the quickshifter was more than happy to shift perfectly at ANY rpm, low or high. Goodbye false neutrals! I'd get a newer one solely for the better left hand controls. The little 4-way wobble toggle on my '17 is hopeless. It takes about 5 tries to accurately change anything w/o affecting any other setting. I like the new nose's styling as well, and the LED headlights. Great vid!
Can't really go wrong with either current gen or last gen Tuono Factory. But IMO the current gen does have the updates over the past model that justify buying the newer gen. Can't argue with her favourite colour for a 🏍 just can't beat red.
Had the December 2018 model Tuono Factory and loved it, after 3 and a half years the quick shifter packed in, then the DRl tail light packed in. The Aprilia dealer recommended I Google it as they didn’t have a clue!…. Had the Ducati Diavil prior to this, kept it for 5 years from new, spent the first 2 Yeats going back to the dealer with electric gremlins, loved the bike but not the hassle, ditched Italian bikes, gone back to Honda.
@@Victor_Moto: I did. But honestly, such bikes need to be tested on public roads outside of cities or on the track. These are race bikes no city scooters. 😉
Spent last week around Deals Gap on my 21 Ape V4. Twice during the 1100 mile ride I found 2 corners with decreasing radius bends that I was going way too hot for. The cornering ABS saved my neck! Stock rubber which gave off a "shreak" as just looked where I wanted to go. Never felt the ABS push back on the leaver, but I was also not really focusing on the leaver feel I was trying not to look to the left and the 500 foot clif. Question? Does the older gen transmission in 3rd make the same straight cut gear sound that the current model does?
@@Victor_Moto 3rd gear (on my bike) has straight cut gears. Mabie others do as well but I haven't noticed it yet. This is a good sound clip of straight cut gears. th-cam.com/video/dmJH84FnQa8/w-d-xo.html
@@gonzosk8966 I know this is late, yes, I did hear the 3rd gear straight cut sound when I recorded myself riding my 23 Tuono. I also heard it on other videos on TH-cam. But why just 3rd gear?

You have a great bike.
2:00 onwards is pure GTA 5 location
Yup!

Glad I could help a little!
Putting a sneak peek of that insane twin piped SP at the end to entice. Haha 👏🏻
LoL! Thanks. Shot the video of the SP, editing now. 😎
Great video, Victor! A question - is the Akrapovic transferable from the old to the new model or is it completely new exhaust and race map?
Thanks! It's compatible. There is a small difference but barely noticeable.
If you’re using the quick shifter under 6 thousand revs ,
You’re going to F the gearbox over time on your Tuono .
Interesting.
Nice!! Great video!! Nothing like a beautiful Aprilia to cut through that Lincoln traffic!!
Lol! Thanks. Yeah, that Lincoln traffic takes a weapon to cut through.

Good point on the tiny joystick thingy.
So you just have to use the clutch at higher RPMs? I've never owned a quick shifter
@@nickarnold8417 It's actually the opposite. Rev under 5000 it's best to use clutch.

What does "packed in" mean?
Packed in means finished, no more, not functioning
Haha. Testing a motocycle in a garage. I am sure this comparison makes fully sense. 😂
Did you watch the whole video?

@@HK-tk5mk Agreed. But around here, lots of us ride in the city and race track. Browse my channel for plenty of race track content. 👍

That's what I'm talking about. The new APRC is worth it.
Not sure about that 3rd gear question though.

@@gonzosk8966 I am have no idea. I have to assume these "gears" are the same on the 2019 and 2022.

Can you do a review on the '21-'22 Tuono V4 1100 E5 Base model? please
Why yes! We have a demo. I'll do that.
@@Victor_Moto Cool, there is not a lot of content on them out there.
Nice
😎
Get more miles on the 21 transmission and i believe it will shift as smooth as the 19.
I"ll check that.
Do you think the Tuono is a good track bike or limited?
Awesome track bike! I've ridden it a lot even at COTA in Austin.
I’m 6ft1 would this bike feel too cramped for me?
I'm 6'2 185 lbs and I love it.
*(1985) Aprilia Tuareg 660 VS (2022) Aprilia Tuareg 660*
Send me the '85! Lol would love to.
I’ll See What I Can Do.
