One more thing: you have a additional display mode: race mode. Push the selector switch 5 seconds to the right --> display will change from road to track. Now you can meassure your laps with the high beam. Afterwards you can check your laps: time, max lean angle, max brakes, ....
As usual you are the go to guy for what I would call a "normal blokes" review. Made even more interesting to me as I ride all the roads you do. Looking forward to more of the same . Cheers
Great stuff Chops, as you know I've just purchased one of these and the detail on the electronics is much appreciated. As an old guy handling all the digital gizmos can be a bit much sometimes. So, I am working my way through the potential settings on all of these APRC things. Right now everything is set to "full nanny" so I don't get into too much trouble early on. Also, totally agree about the gas gauge, I mean really for $17.5K USD?!!! Looking forward to more of these.
Hi chops I'm a old lad in my 60s and not really into reading manuals etc. I'm a old 2 stroke man and have a aprilia tuono factory v4 and never ride it much because all these electrical switches and gizmos have me baffled. I have learned more in this video than I have on the bike. I'm looking forward to the new season to try all these things out.thanks man
Sport, track, race thats the order from low to high, track and race thrttle response is practically identical, race having less engine braking Source: my 2016 tuono factory
well done LC for getting a press bike, your reviews are breath of fresh air compared with the stuffy or childish reviews that have clogged up Youpoop for the last few years. waiting for the next instalment. im betting your putting alot of effort to get a quality vlogg out.
Started following you a while back and i like your style Chops! This vid is the best explanation of the electronics i've seen yet. No one else seems to go into enough detail. If you get the 1290 Super duke as a loaner i'd be interested in a electronics video just like this one! Keep up the good stuff!
Great review, very helpful. Just picked-up the 2019 Tuono, couldn't be happier! Managed to wheelie it in track mode with AWC set to 3, totally mental bike :-)
As you already figured out, the electronics is ready to race. Meaning, that the AWC has to be aggresive or u will do a looping on track. I´ve turned it off on the road. There is no sence to it on the road. Perfect thing is, that it stays off when you start next time the engine. If u are going to test the ABS: Level 1 = no cornering ABS, no rear wheel lift control. On good Roads u will have the rear wheel in the air with abs mode 1.
No, mode are different in the 2017 Modell. Sport Track Race The ranking is: most engine brake in sport, viewest in race. most power in low rpm in sport, viewest in race.
Great Review Chops, well explained, you saved me a hell of a lot of reading, you must of seen the size of those manuals, made my eyes water. Looking forward to next review on the RSV4 RF, and not forgetting the test of the launch control wahoo. Good luck with that ^^Picked mine up Monday but yet to try it out, raining plus waiting for R&G radiator and oil guard. roll on next week.
Nice vid, can't forget the first you did of the T, testing wheely control when it was disabled, then hitting the rev limiter saying something wc really kicking in hard :-D
*SNIFFS REALLY HARD!!* ahhhh yes , the bike that I was about to buy and I ended up getting the 701 instead. Even tho I had enough money but my heart was with getting the 701. :P
What's the reliability though? I have a 2017 Fz-10 and have really been kicking around getting this bike for a year or so... I'm looking at the 2017 tuono factory models. Thanks anyone who has one for your future input.
They are god. Its important to have a god dealer also. Im a member in a couple off groups and I dont hear anything bad. Not more than any other bike. They had more problems before this latest V4 configuration. Ive let my italian fear go so this year i had a Ducati Diavel. Driven it 5000km with no problem what so ever and in two days i will trade it for a Tuono Factory.
Lamb chop I am supprised you need the electronics/ your explanationtions tells me you we don`t need this. but hey it`s there YOU SAY. I from this review can read between the lines and WE don`t need this!! and really enjoy your review, thank you, sir Lamb:)
Hi Sir, is the anti wheelie independent of the traction control setting? I mean in traction control number 8 on full Throttle does the front act the same as in TC number 1 for the same wheelie control setting ?
Great review - really informative and enjoyed it. one question: how does the low-mid rpm fueling compare to the 2016 version? or even better, any chance of getting a comparison of the 2106 and 2017 from a riding perspective (not tech specs)?
I was riding the 2016 RR and Factory. Now i bought the new 2017. I could tell the difference between thr 2016 RR and Factory. I was more into the Factory, because of the ohelins supsension. Besides the electronics: the 2017 has bigger brakes and newer oehlins supsension. If u are a racer, the brakes could make a difference to you. Normal road rinding it´s both fine. Supension wise: because the frame is the same: perhaps there is a slightly difference. will you be happy with 2016 supsension? no daubt.
Congrats on your new bike! Any thoughts on differences in low speed fueling/engine braking between '16 and '17 models? i've ridden a '16 a fair amount and was curious about differences in the 17 model. thx
Windy Run Thank you 😀.Fueling with 2017 is fine to mee. between 6 and 7 liter / 100 km. Engine brakes and throttle contoll is a big difference betwenn 16 and 17: in 17 u can adjust the engine braking. i like the less engine braking because it feels smoother to mee. With 2017 it is also easier to ride through cities because the throttle is better/ smoother to contoll.
Coldfin9er nearly anything disables the cruise controll: brakes, clutch. u can only accelerate within a cerain amount. @Lamp Chop Riders: i was annoyed as u about the blinking light. after 4.000 km km ok with it 😀
Love the video and both the picture and sound quality. What cameras and audio do you use? They look like Go Pro but the sound is too clear. What is your secret?
+Bob Carter no secret really bob, gopro 4 cameras with Sony mics. The exact model is in the discription of my vids. Just mount it in the cheek pad of the helmet but leave the end just sticking out. It's all about trial and error 👍
@Joe Montanino No as i got such a great deal £13,500 with tail tidy, Akra and map brand new, the new one will be coming in around 18 grand thats £4500 more than i paid. No worth it for the few tech upgrades, as bike still great as is for the everyday rider and advanced. If in 2 years i fancy changing then they might have full on facelift upgrade then i may go for it.
well worth the wait, 3am when i started (NZ) now 3.21 well worth the watch...no fuel gauge lol, what... ? Also, you scared me when you said no anti wheelie on = bike flip in second with just normal acceleration because of pwer band, damn....! id be a nervous wreck making sure its on haha. Anyways thanks for an excellent vid im off back to sleep, keeping a watch out for no.3 (love that drone flyover at start too epic effect)... Great work!
Cheers dude, thanks for staying up to watch it hehe. Will do some drone shots with every bike, would have been out with it again for the Tuono but just been soooo windy :-(
Watch a lot of your vids love your reviews. If had a choice between that and the BMW s1000r which one would you choose? Thanks be cool and ride safe with greetings from south London.
If I were you I'll choose the BMW S1000R, although I personally did take the Tuono because after selling back to them my S1000RR, I didn't want to deal with BMW people anymore: here in Vienna, there's only ! BMW Motorrad. After trhat, you have to ride a minimun of 120 km to find one. After buying the Tuono, I did compare it to my test drive with 2017 S1000R and you can definetely do more with the bmw: the range alone: 200km before you see a warning lamp. On the Tuono, 151 km (my best so far) before the lamp lights up. The seat: the Tuono's is hard as a rock (AC/DC fans?). I bought a Comfort/Sport gel seat from Aprilia. A bit better but still testing. The stock S1000R seat is good. I did have a comfort seat on my RR but just because it's 2.3 cm higher (33 inches inseam here) and with the HP (by Gilles Tooling) adjustable footpegs, it was almost perfect. Apparently, you can only deactivate wheelie control on both machines by shutting the Traction control off. The Aprilia has 3 settings which they could just have left 1 because none of them let you lift the front wheel without being 1 second later put down to the ground. Why do I regret to have bought the Tuono? Freedom: you can't just put any exhaust on it (2017): you'll need the official Akra (+ or - 1,000 euros) or the race ECU (900 euros) and any other exhaust PLUS the corresponding fuel map. The stock exhaust sounds great tho but it's ugly and being ready to change will cost you a lot of money, taking into account that the bike ain't cheap. The fueling is horrible in the city: you have to feather the clutch for anything below 40 km/h, where the city speed limit is 50. On B roads and on the highway, it's a phenomenal bike. For commuting, the bmw is better.
fantomas3030 have u still got the Tuono , I bought Bmw s1000r spirt this year and all going g good 5000 kms jyst comming up on it now , the dealer network is what turns me from buying one of these , there is no official dealer here in Ireland yet but I was looking at one in my local bike shop the other day & I liked the looks of the Tuono I’m just wondering would it handle day to day commuting on back roads here in Ireland , I’m guessing there would be great character from the v4 engine & mauve more is a fun factor but kinda worried about the reliability etc ,what is the warranty like etc with aprilia ? Sorry for s the questions but love to get a run down on them from an actual owner thanks
Man this thing is like a space ship. Meanwhile my bike has 0 computer shenanigans haha. Mechanical everything. You should see if you can take that RSV4 to a local track when you get it next week. Atleast if Aprilia allows you to do that.
I just had a thought but, they may have considered fuel gauges at some point but realized that with a sport bike there's too much slosh to actually put a gauge on. I get it, fuel light, it's easy enough to just program in a gauge, but they may have considered it to be too inaccurate of the actual level due to the slosh.
Lamb Chop Rides Thanks for the reply - I know it's a pain reading comments here. I guess I'll look into adjustable aftermarket ones. great video series, too. keep them coming!
fantomas3030 that's the clutch cable - it's adjustable on all bikes. The lever itself isn't though. I have my Tuono now and I'll be installing new levers once I do the first service, along with a few other accessories
Hallo! Are you going to review the speed triple RS? Your opinion would be interesting. I am still on a verge to decide between Super Duke, Tuono RF and Speed Triple, rode all of them but still can not decide :-)
Paul Gilder mine on a cargo ship 🚢 can't wait 😊 120 miles for me is more than enough , No fuel Gages but still can see current gas mileage and average should be ok thought there was not gas Information at all other than the gas light . Thanks for the replies and keep riding safe !!
It works pretty good in most situations tbh. Sometimes gentle inputs could catch it out but overall fantastic! Also when the bike was cold it wasn't so smooth
Lamb Chop Rides so, there is no min. RPM to use it? Do you use the blipper and quickshifter all the time or are there situations, where you use the clutch?
@@grumpyguy6407 From the manual: Aprilia Quick Shift It is a system that allows go up and down the gears without having to use the clutch 'and without changing the position of the throttle grip. It uses the gear shift sensor signal on the gear lever to shift gears more quickly with a lower decrease in rpm than a traditional gear shift as regards upshifting. The system is only active above an engine speed: of approximately 3,000 rpm.
Mine's even got an alternator, so that you don't have the change the battery every time you go for a ride. It actually charges the battery while you ride. Great, this modern technology!
Dan T bought a flat black 2019 leftover model new yesterday...I’ve ridden everything with two wheels and this bike hands down is a fucking blast to ride. Leave wheelie control on it’s lowest setting/sport mode and it’s only 7/10 scary as shit.
track bikes dont need fuel gauges ;) All the bells and whistles except the 'essentials'. Knowing how far you can go is okay, but for reassurance, a fuel gauge would be nice. But im guessing, watching it drop by the second would be quite depressing ;)
So, because you don't like the AWC system, you just skip over it instead of actually making your point on why you don't like it by demonstrating how "bad" it is.
Lol, serves me right for believing the forums then. The cams are made of chocolate and the valves balsa wood according to them. Anyway, I bottled it and ordered a Speed Triple RS......... Now awaiting them to be recalled for chocolate camshafts etc
Now I have subscribed would you please answer 2 stroke power OR modern V4, I rest my case? or do i:/ Your answer would really mean a lot to me as i wish to buy a bike from either the 2 stroke era or a modern v4 era:)
Two stroke power is great but the v4 engines are awesome!! It depends on what you want to do with the bike, if you want to actually use it then I would say a modern V4 takes some beating.
