Then I will purchase the RSV4 and redo some track day again with a coach to upgrade my knowledge on this new bike.

Hello Abhi, this is one of the most in depth review out there and this deserved praise! Great video you did there. There is only a few topics, that are still floating around that prevent me from buying. There is German magazine that stated, that the whole bike starts getting unsettled by giving it throttle while hitting small bumps in corners on the racetrack. They assumed that the reason for this is the new swing arm, which you also described as being stiffer. Can you confirm this behavior? Also, there are reports that the anti wheelie is still rather unrefined, as it brings down the front wheel pretty harshly. Is that still the case?

@ChasingTenths

2 жыл бұрын

Thank you very much for the kind words. I know exactly what they mean by the small bumps , I felt them too but that can easily be dialled out by sorting the settings on the rear suspension. The electronic suspension is very good , it goes from extreme hard to extreme soft and if someone doesn’t play around with it then it won’t do what you want it to do. It has the ability to either glide over the bumps or absorb them , absorption is better sometimes harder setting isn’t the answer , a slight give in the suspension can be better. In terms of the wheel , you can lower it down to absolutely minimum , but then at the same time you need to slightly stiffen the electronic damper and the bike will go up and come down with not much drama. I found no such issues , anyone who tests this bike needs to constantly adjust the setting to try different things , the bike truly changes

The new RSV4 is pretty decent on the road as the ergonomics have changed drastically , I did a 2 hour ride and I had no cramps or issues but then I am 5 feet 8 but someone over 6 feet might find it slightly cramped on long journeys, the previous RSV4 models were a lot cramped than this one, the new lower slung swingarm and tank has allowed them to create more room for the rider . So it’s much much better now . And yes in my opinion too BMW is best road machine . But you don’t get that amazing v4 symphony;)

Haha , I wish I was a pro :). However, I can tell you the both their electronic packages are brilliant , S1000RR M has always been road and race specialist , RSV4 is an out and out race & track animal, but now it’s more ergonomically good. I would say both bikes have similar electronic offerings, BMW is new & very much advanced and I would say it has more German new tech for all sorts of conditions road & race , on the otherside RSV4 is more race orientated. It’s a very difficult question, my head says BMW has a better electronic pack, my heart says RSV4. Both are great bikes with superb electronics . BMW is slightly ahead on electronics I would say

Great video mate. Hello from Australia. How tall are u? I’m currently on a 2020 s1000rr and people keep telling me that I’ll be too tall for an rsv4. I’m 6’. But I still lust after her 😜

Hey Asif , thanks for the appreciation, to be honest I have 4 friends on the new RSV4 factory who are more than 6 feet The new bike is not cramped It’s absolutely fine No issues at all No discomfort even on a endurance race weekend

i might be the only Aprilia rsv4 1100 factory owner in Australia maybe i should start a chapter, membership 1

Can we do touring on this bike

@ChasingTenths

2 жыл бұрын

Absolutely you can , with added cruise control and clear mirrors and stunning visibility with lights , bigger seat and better ergonomics for comfort, and suspension which can be tuned with a click of a button to make the ride more softer , you can certainly do touring if you so wish

As far as I am aware John, there is none I couldn’t see it on race mode while riding or road mode or user mode. To be honest in a way it was distracting for some people who were too taken in by that feature and would keep looking down at the dash while riding But they should have given the facility to turn it on because of the 6 axis imu

@@ChasingTenths thank you, still waiting on my euro 5 RSV4. Im thinking about to change the ratio (shorten it for more midrange) but i dont wanna loose topspeed. How is the ratio in stock, revs the engine in 6th gear to the redline or is there still some air to shorten it without loosing topspeed?

@@sideshowbob939 ratio is fine John, I took it on a very very long straight There’s plenty of grunt throughout Unless you really will take it full time on the track , you won’t need to change the ratios Maximum go one up on the rear if really need be For track two up on the rear

Don't make gearing changes unless you know how to adjust the chassis for that change.

@@massgass9131 exactly, someone will come with an ECU mod hack soon on that

The US Indicators not being in the headlamps is due to a entirely arbitrary law made by people whom know nothing about motorcycles (most actually actively hate motorcycles). The Law needlessly requires that the Indicators be no less than a entirely fabricated distance from each other to be road legal. Some states police will issue fines for violations of this, others will outright lock you up for it. Similar nonsense with LED or HID Headlamps going on, we are trying to fight against it, but as is normal with US Laws, it is a needlessly complicated and largely corrupted mess.

@Chasing Tenths the easiest easiest to understand us law is to imagine every state as if it were its own content and every county as it's own country, each with approximately 30-40% of politicians being educated and 60-70% being corrupt and ignorant. It has basically become an oligarchy with a number of limitations that lessen each year.

48 minutes of talking and 2 mins of riding isn’t a great review. Respectfully. Your track and product videos are better IMO.

Appreciate the comment Steven, I honestly can’t ride and talk and justify a detailed review like that . Because you always forget to mention something. The whole point of this was to decipher everything the bike has to offer siting calmly and talking . However, I tend to agree that there should have been more riding involved there. I promise you, the following Tuono upcoming review will have a lot more riding. Thanks for being constructive in your comment . Lovely 😊

That's what I would do, it be a fraction of the 6k upcharge as well from the base model.... Actually you can do alot for 6k to that bike....exhaust, tune, susp, and wheels if so desired......
