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

It’s such a great bike, thanks for the comment

Stunning bike, got to love that V4 sound.

I just picked up a 2019 it has 1048 mi on it it handles very good better than my 2008 Ducati 1098s

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!

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!

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!

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.

Also makes the rear seat usable for a tail pack, the factory suspension is better but not a massive difference on the road

Fast foward 3yrs the price is double the price. Crazy times. Beautiful bike.

A Puig windscreen solved that problem for me on the Street Triple. It's a non issue now. Silly to sell the bike over something like that.

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 ;)

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

@motorbiketoureruk

The baffle has been in and out a few times, to be honest it’s tiny it makes a tiny difference to noise, and no noticeable difference to power.

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 ?

@motorbiketoureruk

4 жыл бұрын

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.

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 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

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!

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.

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
