Supernaked Shootout! Tuono vs. S1000R vs. Super Duke R vs. FZ-10 

Great review. I like the way all opinions are discussed and it’s not a pure ranking competition. The reality is, with these bikes, they’re all the nuts.

I find your guy’s videos the very most enjoyable on RU-vid. Light, honest and most importantly sincere. Keep up the great work!

I grew up here in New Zealand riding Honda's (who still make great bikes) but in 2015 I brought an Aprilia Tuono 1100RR, which was a great bike with great build quality and outstanding performance for a naked and the sound it made with the standard pipe was intoxicating, fast forward to today and I have taken delivery of the latest Tuono RR and man I thought this bike couldn't get any better, but the auto blipper downshifter, bigger brakes and the TFT dash is in another world, everything that I wanted in the last one is on the new one. I have fitted an Akrapovic pipe with the Aprilia race map and boy this thing hauls and sounds outstanding. I'm really happy with this bike well done Aprilia!

"spoiler alert, there's no losers here", damn I love that words Kevin!

Love the main presenter guy’s coolness and realistic real works enthusiasm. Very thorough review - like how you measure the bikes yourselves and cut through manufacturer bs like many UK and European journos don’t, as they’re hypnotised on press launches and seem to be all hoping for future PR jobs with bike manufacturers for better money than they get for papers and magazines. Really feel I will pull the trigger on a Tuono now even though there’s hardly any dealers in the uk.

Very nice review. I've been riding for 27 years and have owned a few big bore bikes. The main reason I purchased the FZ 10 is Yamaha makes the most bullet proof bike on the planet IMO. Great price. Great street bike. The most fun I have ever had on a motorcycle!

Hey guys, thanks for this nice video, because now I know what will be my next bike: BMW S1000 R!

Just bought the Tuono 1100 V4 Factory. Thank you gentlemen for affirming my purchase! It if wasn't for this stupid virus I'd have my Acra Full titanium evo exhaust (complete with Race ecu flash) on er already ☹. One hell of a way to social distance though, frickin' Love It!

Aprilia all the way. I recently got converted from my FZ10 to a 17 Tuono Factory.

A most intelligent unbiased review review. So nice to see the sense of track testing rather than some on here who boast of shredding driving licenses. Not a good idea sitting on a bike with the centre stand taking your weight..

Comprehensive and practical. Good for older blokes , not purely about the top end speed

You guys make me glad that I went for Tuono. Great video. Thank you and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! :-)

Everyone loves that Tuono, and justifiably so 😍😍

Thanks you've helped me make up my mind. Being 1.96 meters I've bought the KTM Koos Netherlands

MT10 all day long for me, but they are ALL amazing.

When I heard S1000r and SuperDuke, the first thing that i remember is Royal Jordanian.

I’ll stick with the Yamaha. Lower entry price, last longer, cheaper parts and maintenance.

Great review guys, I took delivery of my 2017 s1000r sport back in March when it landed here and Iv been in love with it ever since 🌹 I call it my fast sports tourer and it’s becoming more and more Carbon with every passing month. Stay safe, Matt the fan from the UK

Here's the thing tho to take into consideration, I always wish that in these comparisons they would take into consideration reliability. I LOVE THE TUONO, BUT I live in utah USA and there's NO Aprilia dealers writhing 1,200 miles SO dealer service isn't an option and for a bike that has horrible reliability reputation has to be something to consider. If the Tuono was a very reliable bike like the Yamaha , I'd buy a Tuono and spend a bit more but when there's serious known issues with gearboxes grenading , valve jobs that are very expensive and need to be done much more regularly than anything else. The parts and service are all very expensive relatively speaking, at the top end of costs . In this compassion there's no mention of reliability or dealer support which plays a HUGE part! Also interesting to note that while they kept saying the MT10 is down on power and hownits noticeable at the track, it's the quickest 0-60mph of any of these , even the torque monster 1300 cc superduke R. So top end back straight power down a hair but quicker out of the hole and to 60mph. Also a good thing to note, I got my FZ10 new on 2017 at the launch and I paid $9,200 OUT THE DOOR! Not $12,999! A lot of dealers ordered too many and had to dump some at cost to keep dealer allocation up. I didn't have $1,400 of dealer fees the other bikes have and have the best and longest warranty with thenlargest dealer network, lowest parts and service cost and the most reliable manufacturer in the world with the FZ10. SO i went FZ10 , had it 2 years with not one issue, only sold becaue of divorce and I'm buying another one I loved it so much. As they stated also, the power is neutered by the cat and regs . I dropped the 25lb cat which is a huge weight drop , did a $130 cat delete y pipe , race air filter for that huge air box and sent the ECU to NelsTune to be flashed to my mods, came back with 178.5 hp at the crank more than the Tuono and superduke , and cost less than $600 for all of it. All in all I had a FZ10 with more horsepower than any of these for less than $10,000 ,..I can't justify spending another $9,000 for s superduke or $6,000 for a Tuono rr . If they'd said u can find the FZ10 for $9,000 new out the door , they'd of all determined the FZ10 as winner but at 13k and with the power restricting cat on I get it to a point but certainly can't say the Tuono is the winner when you can't count on it reliability wise and when something goes sideways your talking about $2,000 minimum and NO dealers around. Just my 2 cents. Again not a Yamaha fanboy, I LOVE Aprilias but the fact is they have a horrible track record for reliability , their very very expensive to repair parts and labor , and there's no dealer network unless you live in Italy. That's a problem.

Great review guys. I owned the Aprilia V4R Tuono 1000, now have the the 2014 BMW S1000R. You give objective tests on all the bikes. Nice work! :)

Love watching u gents evaluate various cycles

Superduke all day long for me.

You guys just supported my love of my 03 Z1000

I am a bit biased since I got the 2017 superduke. But I threw full akra evo 2 on it and a map. A whole lot of powerparts and I just love it! I think it looks so much better then the rest.

I have 3 of the 4 bikes in my garage, you really can't go wrong with any of these bikes but I would also choose the Aprilia, I love my 2017 factory.

Been waiting for this one! Haven’t watched the video (yet) but about 99% sure my next bike will be what Kevin Duke picks!

I Love my Tuono Factory. Its very fast on Track.

S1000r electronic suspension and agility really are a class above the others in terms of providing real world comfort and pace enhancing feature. Ive ridden them all and have a 2016 s1000r WITHOUt the wheels and even there the agility advantage is noticeable --easily!

Mr. Duke always have the fastest shades of the bunch!

Good review, great video guys. Thanks for the quality content!

The Touno and the Super Duke is the most interesting for me.

Great review as always, thanks for this! But a couple of suggestions: let's not talk about horsepower so much, it means something but at the same time not so much. There are times when a bike with half the horsepower can be twice the fun, depending on the type of riding. Instead of spec sheet information, what is really useful in a video would be things like: - How easy / comfortable is it to lane-split each bike through say, an hour of LA traffic? At the end of doing that, which bike would you pick to go to work every day for the next year or two? - Which one feels more relaxed (or frenzied) at everyday speeds? - How accessible is each bike across a range of rider heights? (put the shortest tester on each bike, doing emergency stops on an off-ramp with a lot of road camber / road crown) - Speak to maintenance. Which one needs valve checks often, which has the best dealer network, which is most DIY-friendly etc. - Which one feels more *fun* in daily riding? (not necessarily the same as which one is fastest) But again, thanks for this great content, I really am nitpicking on free content, that's not the intention, just a few suggestions that's all.

2019 KTM super Duke gonna rock

It's Christmas eve and I'm on my amazing 2013 Tuono :D

Love my FZ10..it's a Yamaha, bullet prove. My 3rd FZ, all the Gen's. the latest one is sick!!!

I love these shootouts! You guys always do a great job! I love the super bike category but when I’m older these may be a good option! So I always like hearing everyone’s opinion.

Nice review gents. Aprilia is a special bike. They are all fantastic bikes.

The Aprilia is so good it beats the other bikes without being in the top Factory trim. What an awesome bike.

Excellent review! The Tuono is an amazing bike!

Thanks for the review. Now i can stay awake at night dreaming i own one of these bikes

Wonderful review. I'd love to have ANY one of these bikes and I'd like be in heaven! If I could choose, I'd probably pick up the BMW.

Good video ! Thank you all! So nice !

Been riding Aprilia for 9 years now. Still the best bike for the money, new or old. The Gen 1 and 2 are the best kept secret in motorcycling, whether we are talking Tuono or RSV.

I really liked the fact that you guys included the Gas milage for all the bikes, you should do that all the time from now on for all your reviews!

Its got to be Aprilia all the way! Im biased i have a tuono factory 2017. From the go it was mind blowing. What a stable and epic machine. Roll on 2018 snd lets eat some tarmac! Chiao 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

I now own a 17 Tuono V4 factory, fun bike but it's not really that much comfortable than my 12' cbr1000rr and it will heat you up like an oven unlike my cbr. I need to try owning the SDR next! So far my former Ducati XDiavel S was the most fun and comfortable around town but I don't trust the reliability and parts are too dam expensive, so I sold it but I miss riding it and the ladies loved it.

Yup Tuono for me boys ☝️Adam 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

These types of reviews are great, not focused only on specs. The overall riding experience is what most buyers are looking for. Sometimes you don't have the opportunity (depending on your location) to ride all the bikes under the same condition, or even to ride them at all. For me the nearest Aprillia dealer is 400 miles away, so thinking ahead, the availability of spare parts and service is a decision factor . In that realm Yamaha, BMW, KTM are ranked in that order of service availability. You want to keep the 2/3 year guarantee on these bikes no matter what. More HP more electronics to control them, more electronics more expensive to fix. By looks 1. Aprillia 2.BMW 3.FZ10 4 KTM (I'm not a fan of the headlight). Price, up front sticker price can scare away potential buyers, but don't let that stop you, there might be the right deal waiting for you. For me BMW S1000r is the bike I'll be buying soon. I'm a beginner rider - 15,000 miles on a FZ07. 80% City - high traffic 19% Roads 1%Track ++++I would say any of these bikes are for city/ high traffic/ filtering riding, they'll get too hot.+++++ this is my opinion.

Excellent!!! This was super well done cheers to all you test riders and a tip of the hat to your camera crew and video editor! Merry Christmas!

I think the Aprilia Tuono more or less have won every shootout since the first V2 in 2006. They really take the experience from the racetrack to streetbikes, and they look quality when you see them upfront close.

Great job guys, Keep up the great work.

Great video and review. Can’t go wrong with any of those bikes! Would like to have seen how the Monster 1200 stacked up against those bikes as well!

Just bought the 2018 MT-10 left over for $10,799... and I love this thing. It may be down a few hp to the others in this list, but riding it in the real world you'll never feel that... it's A BEAST!! Love the Tuono, but Yamaha for longevity and price... hard to beat.

If the FZ-10 with those numbers belongs in here, so does the 2017 Monster 1200 :O Great comparison!

07:51 SuperDuke shown but the awesome sound comes from the Aprilia. I simply love the Tuono.

For the street Mt10 I love that cross plain sound !!! For the track Aprilia !

Aprilia YES! I have a 2013 RSV4 Facotry SBK SE and a 2020 Tuono Factory. Amazing machine with the best sounding engine ever put in a streetbike. Smiles for miles.

im getting the tuano 1100 V4 factory end of april.Great reviews.

I just sold my 2017 Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 factory after only 10 months. The bike is fast, good looking, sounds like a MotoGP bike, awesome brakes, good suspension and dives into corners like a champ. However, it will roast you in the summer with HEAT and the riding position is weird, a bit aggressive but still more comfortable than superbikes. Basically, it's a superbike with handlebars, not really a true naked bike. This bike is great for riders who ride track and street, if you don't ride track like me than you are doing yourself a disservice by getting this bike. Also, Aprilia does not like to pay for warranty work and they said if you put an aftermarket exhaust on the bike your warranty is voided because it's no longer street legal and they said Aprilia does not warranty track bikes.

Wind protection and wind protection.. They are naked bikes!

Excellent review

Thanks great review.

All of them are appealing in some way

Great review. thank you

Thanks guys great review I have been thinking about getting a aprilia tuono and I’m pretty sure I’m going to after this review

This is missing from "recent shootout" playlist. Btw it is interesting to see the bikes lined up like this on the track while you were talking. You get a great idea of the size of the bikes and ergos, check the height of the handle bars, cool.

That Socal fire smoke makes this look like a video from the 90's.

great review guys, but for me its the bmw s1000r because I own one merryChristmas

You guys should do touring shootout like versys vs tracer07/09 vs triumph xcx/xrx vs nc750 vs bmw gs750/gs850. Cant wait for that video😁

Just picked up a 17' FZ10 with 1200 miles for 9,250. Do not regret it

I now own that same color/year April is Tuono 1100rr and it is scary fast!!!

I wish the new GSX-S1000 would've been included. A great bike for a good price. And with all the upgrades it became even better.

Good review but for about $200 you can re flash the black box and gain an instant 15 hp which gets it close to some of these bikes. I've got one and it easily pulls the front wheel up at 100 mph

I have a MT10 (FZ10) and it’s the best performance bike I’ve ever had.

MT-10/FZ-10....Bumble Bee on 2 wheels...

Cool shades and jacket.

Saving up to trade in the monster 821 for the tuono 17!

The MT-10 wins in every competition purely on price. I got mine brand new for $10,700 or $13,000 out the door. And yes it puts out less power because the ECU is restricted from the factory. After mods my bike is an absolute animal.

Been waiting for your shootout, did not disappoint. Standard Aprilia circle jerk- can't fault ya, there's a reason for the universal praise. I am surprised the big man was so unaffected by the ergos though, at 5'11 245 a 15 min ride on the aprilia crushed my wrists- the only deal breaker in an otherwise badass package :(.

Silly how the FZ-10 is restricted in the states. I really like the Aprilla and SD but bought the yamaha for the price, great value.

I test rode the FZ-10 /MT-10 @ the Long Beach M/C show last month... I was SO impressed with the riding position and virtually no wind blast... How could that be on a naked...? Waiting for Yamaha to bring the MT-10 "Sport Touring" Version like the EU is getting.

The Euro Version of the fz-10 has 160 hp, its called the mt-10 that's your own problem there in the us

Ktm for me all day :))

That's right. Tuono: il campione 😏👊🏻✊🏻🏍💨

Nice review guys.

Well done gents. I always enjoy watching the shootouts. I’m torn between an adventure bike (F800/850 GS, Husky 701 Enduro) or a super naked. Two totally different classes of motorcycle, but can’t make up my mind as to if I want to go on an adventure ALL the time, or sprint around town. Nonetheless, very well produced video!

I love all these bikes, but if you're shopping with a price in mind you definitely have to go with the fz-10, especially when you have to think about the cost of ownership and servicing

Just bought the 2018 Superduke have 100 miles on it cant quit smiling ..

Awesome review, guys! I’m looking forward to seeing a updated review for 2019...perhaps with the Aprilia Tuono Factory?? I am seriously considering the 2019 Aprilia Tuono Factory for my next bike...trading in my 2014 Kawasaki ZR1000GEFA...nice upgrade I think!!

Tuono top of my wish list but reckon the s1000r is the one I'd want to live with. Especially with the forged wheels just to get that smaller bike agility.

Love riding just like the next guy but at 20K or even 15K its just too much $ for a bike. At 12K list price and if you waited for dealers end of the year sales for 11K-10K it’s got to be the Yamaha MT10. Plus the bike responds really well to re mapping and exhaust 150hp

Super Duke R💪

Great review (and great job you guys have). The Super Duke definitely wins in the looks department. The fuel economy results are kind of staggering, 31 mpg for the bike with the smallest engine and least power is pitiful. I have to admit I've hated Yamahas since I babysat a 2002 FZ1 through all it's stupid problems and Yamaha doesn't fail to keep giving me reasons. I don't know what it is about big twins but they seem to have legs these days, my Multistrada gets MPG numbers that seem like I must be doing the calculation wrong. I've had 51 MPG doing 75 mph all day through Nevada and Utah, and it "drops" to 41 if I ride it as hard as I dare up gnarly mountains at home. 51! That's a number that would be a marketing bullet point for a Honda 500cc twin.

I never go to the track so it was the Super Duke R for me. If I very became interested in track days I'd buy a R1M.

Nice to see my FZ10 up there with the big boys! I am going to make it a mission next year to go test ride the Tuono next year I have to see what the fuss is about. NOTE TO SELF DO NOTE BUY ANOTHER BIKE :)

I dont know why you spend so much time talking about the mt-10 HP deficit which is purely a fuel mapping issue, and then gloss over the fact that the issue is totally resolved with a flash, as if people looking in this class won't pursue an aftermarket exhaust or fuel remap to begin with.

Definitely Aprilia, and considering you can get a 17 in the 13k range right now it's definitely worth buying. I bought mine in September and have already put 5k miles on it. Just can't stay off it, and besides chewing up the rear tires it hasn't skipped a beat!

The best! Tuono!!!!

MT-10 all day long

Rj is a london encouter... man he is so good wat a fantastic rider..i think super duke is the best bike in 2017...
