I love this review! You described owning this bike perfectly..🎯I have the exact bike except a 2018 and owning it has been like a gift from God.... so appreciative of this machine and what it can do on track and on the road. Sublime and a blessing that should be experienced by all who love riding performance machines
I agree, there is not enough different about the factory to justify the price difference. You can get really good deals on the RR. I have seen them in the USA as low as 13 grand brand new. The RSV tail on the factory is so cool looking, but the tail on the RR is also one of the best looking seat/tails on a bike as well. The paint schemes on some of the 2020 RR's is actually cooler than the Factory in my opinion as well. That red and black is bad ass.
That's a great review Andy. That was a great price for the bike, not much more than I paid for my MT10. Think even I would acknowledge that V4 is one of the great engines. Pit limiter but no fuel gauge, typically Italian. No heated grips could stop me buying
Banditmanuk Cheers Richard, it was a great price, originally my brother looked at the street rs but is so glad he bought the Tuono. To be honest the heated grips is the annoying thing for me, which sounds stupid but I’ve always used mine a lot!, fuel gauge isn’t a big issue but not being able to get warm is!
Excellent review from a real world perspective! I’m currently looking at a low mileage one, same year/model. Think you pushed me over the edge. Now to figure out how to get it! Thank you Sir
Thanks for doing the RR instead of the factory. Good, no nonsense review. Just bought a 2019 RR and looking forward to using it after the snow goes in March. You didn't review the headlights as a short coming, as more than a few think they are insufficient. Thought of an upgrade to LED? Getting rid of my K1200, shedding about 70 lbs. and gaining about 10 hp. so the wheelie control might be a necessity!
Interesting review esp as you have ridden the other super nakeds. Trying to decide if the Factory is worth it but I'm thinking the RR is more than enough now.
Great review. I've always lusted after one.. but I think I prefer not being beaten to death by the wind. I had a Street Triple R for about 8 months before I decided that nakeds aren't for me.. at least not as an only bike
Terry Healy Thanks Terry, it’s not to bad but it’s a naked so you’re in the wind, but at least it’s clean air , to be fair I’ve had bikes with big screens that a far more annoying, my Superadventure I’ve used a few screens but have found the shortest one with a little spoiler that works for me well. We were abroad one year and I was on a MT10 we were cruising at about 130mph and the end of the day I could hardly lift my head as my neck was finished!, what bike have you got now?
@@motorbiketoureruk F800GT but will be changing that as soon as lockdown lifts and I can ride. SD GT, S1000XR, H2 SX and K1300S are the current shortlist
a lot of bad stuff that the insurance covered but when we want to buy one used with no more insurance ........... imagina if the forks leak from the tube! or any of that shit....
Tuono's just peg out the cool meter. He bought it just based on the sound, and not trying it out or inspecting it, he bought it sound unseen!!!!!! Yeah I completely understand ;)
Hi mate, I’ve got to do a new video now as I can compare the factory to the RR. Different beast to the mt10 , far more race bike with straight bars! Spain , booked for june 8th 😁 Stay safe mate!
Nice bike and great video. Just wondering have you try to pull out the baffle on your Akra? Do you feel Any different on power or just the noise louder? Cheers
Mate I've had Aprilias for well over 20 years and can honestly say I've never had any major issues with them. Just as reliable as any of the big four Japanese manufacturer's.
And the RR doesnt have the SOLO SEAT than the Factory has? I want to buy the SOLO SEAT for my RR of I think I have to change a lot of things... Can you help me please? Thank you so much ;)))
As we speak at the moment. I’ve tried all the latest bikes, my brother has just changed his RR for a new factory as the deal was excellent. For me I’d have the new sdr, I think it’s a perfect all round bike , bit more relaxed than the tuono but a great riding position for the road and track. Cheaper than the Ducati, better finished than the Mt10 , I’m interested to see what next years speed triple will be like but I want a sdr
@@motorbiketoureruk No I haven't yet, had a few Speed Triple's and love them, and had a Gen 2 Tuono in the past,but I'm torn between the big 4 right now /
@@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes definitely have a go on all, the RS speed is a great bike I loved mine. The mt10 is basically a muscle bike. The tuono isn’t as smooth as the RS at slow speeds the superduke feels happy doing slow or fast and would make a brilliant touring bike as well
Thanks for the fantastic timely review. Currently considering a brand new RR @£10995 or 17plate factory, akra can with 9000miles for £11600 have you tried both, what would you recommend will be 100% road riding. Many thanks
hurnz 73 sorry only just seen this, get the RR, honestly for road riding you can’t tell the difference , I’ve ridden the factory with electronic and a 18
Great review, always loved the Tuono but was put off by the high service costs & High seat height. When I test rode one I noticed not happen at low RPM and throw out a lot of engine heat. What bike would you replace the Tuono with ?
At the moment, absolutely nothing, I honestly couldn’t think of a bike that I would change it to unless I was changing genre of bikes if that makes sense. The street fighter is a Ducati?!?! And way to expensive. The superduke hasn’t got a similar engine and is completely different to ride and didn’t feel like what I wanted. I think bike manufacturers are in a bit of a sticky situation at the mo. I mean the Tuono pumps out far more power than you can use on the road and has everything I want from a bike.
Great bike. I've never considered an Aprilia before and then I saw a 2018 for sale at the dealer. I have a 2014 Street Triple R and was looking to upgrade with the 2021 model, but now wondering what it would be like to switch to something like this. I know they are different machines. Any thoughts going from a a middle weight Street Triple to this ?
What did you decide, I'm in exactly the same position. I've a street triple and at 6'2" feel aprilia rr would be great next bike.. either that or kawasaki z1000sx
Just toying with moving from a Street Tripl RS to either a Tuono V4 RR or a Speed Triple RS. Speed is a bit cheaper, comes with the 'bling' Ohlins. The Tuono. V4.....hmmmm
My brother had the tuono RR and now has a factory , from the street RS I would probs have the tuono as it’s so different, engine is so strong, the suspension is better on the speed RS but not night and day
@@motorbiketoureruk think the old multi criteria analysis will have to be used! A new Speed 1050 RS is cheaper, the Tuono. Was a V4....how much weighing do I put on V4 over price? ;-)
@@motorbiketoureruk Coin said Speed :-) Cheaper, and I'm sure the engine is still spirited and energetic (more so than the Diveal I once owned for 6 months - most unspirited big lump of an engine I've ever owned)
How does the Factory with electronic Ohlins compare? Here's my dilemma: I can trade my bike to dealership , where I get $4k for the trade, plus $11.5k on top for a leftover 2019 Tuono Factory demo bike with about 300miles and 2yr factory warranty. My other option is to sell my bike, get around 6-7k tops in a private sale, and buy a 2019 Tuono RR with 2.7k miles that still has almost 2yrs left on the warranty, for $11k. I'll be going to the dealership this week to test ride both the RR and Factory to see the difference between them for myself. Your input would be invaluable in my decision making process. Thanks for the great vid!
Ooo difficult one, the factory feels faster as it’s smoother suspension makes it feels effortless but obviously it’s more money! You won’t regret either the RR or factory.
@@motorbiketoureruk Thanks for info. Im coming off a 990 smt too. There are a few mint 2016 bikes around but not many 2017. Might go for a 16 first for a bit..
@@sundownsolutions2 990 smt is a great bike, if you can look out for a 17 onwards , not that the 16 is much different but the newer bike just feels a bit more complete. Good luck
