Realistic review... well done. As I suspected, there are many riding settings but eventually a person settles on what fits them. Good to have the flexibility to do that though.

Nice Rev, thx 😁 . Shifting from 3rd to 4th shouldnt be a problem if you are over 6000rpm generally. Sounds in the video as you are at 4-5k.... Also this is described in the manual as well i think. If you want shifting without stutter under 6k use the clutch. I dont know any stock bike without a heavy double clutch that quickahifts up well under 6000. Interesting would be a comparison from the topheavy tuono to the bottom heavy Japanese Inline4 Bikes 😊👍

I was so torn between the Tuono V4 1100RR Factory vs BMW S1000r. Thank you for this review, it made me happy about the choice I made. Like you mentioned, the Aprilia has some really cool gadgets at first glance. Lean angle, break/throttle % looks cool at first sight. But it's not something you will watch while riding. What is the big thing that is missing here for the Aprilia though? The fuel indicator. That is something the BMW has. And I had it on my CBR600RR too. It's very useful information that actually has a valid reason to be on that infoscreen. Fuel indicator, superior cruicecontrol, heated grips (I live in Norway, it's even cold during the summer), the lights on the s1000r are miles better than the Aprilia's, and I saved more than 5000euro, made the BMW win it for me. Still think the Tuono looks better, it performs a bit better on track as well. But those 2 pro's does not outweigh the con's, especially when we were talking 5000+euro price difference.

I actually sold my brand new Aprilia Tuono 2017 after riding it 9 months. I had it towed to a workshop in total 7 times over that period. Issues ranged from the dash not lighting up at all, to the starter motor failing, to even the ignition key getting stuck (and 2 tow mechanics and the workshop manager couldn't un-stick it). For me, it was absolutely unreliable and I could never second guess the next time it would fail on me. Happily riding a Triumph Street Triple RS and haven't looked back since. For those who think I'm making this stuff up, I have photos for every time it has broken down on me to prove it. I will never recommend an Aprilia to anyone ever.

I own a 17’ Tuono and a 16’ SDR and I love both bikes, would really hate to pick one over the either. Really depends on the type of riding you do, I would pick the tuono for highway/twisties and ktm for urban environment, not to say it cant do those either, just that the tuono feels more at home in those environments. Ktm is a more comfortable bike and easier to live with day to day imo. Ktm doesnt mind putting around town all day, tuono gets pretty damn hot if you don’t keep her constantly moving. The highest temp I got the ktm to was 190f vs 230f for the tuono riding in the city. Ktm has more comfortable ergo’s and gets better gas mileage. Tuono is a lot more confidence inspiring and really makes you want to push it. Ktm is more laid back fun hooligan type riding. Two completely different bikes and philosophies used in making each one. Both bikes are equally capable, those are just the feelings I get when I ride each one. If you’re choosing between the two, you can’t make a wrong decision either way. I would deff suggest trying to get a test ride on the ape and see which one speaks to you! Lmk if you got any other questions!

@@Anthony_K Thanks for the detailed response. I've demo'd a heap of bikes from several manufacturers, also owned a decent amount over the years, one at a time. Just curious from the perspective of Albe what he had thought, considering he's owned and reviewed the Tuono in detail. Thanks guys!

I have just bought this bike (2019 factory), i have a question, mine on cruise mode it turns to the right automatically, and i have to move my body waaay to the left to drive straight (this withouth handling the handlebar) , is that normal? Also my front brake makes a weird beeeep noise when i brake it hard... Just noticed these two things on mine, just wanna know if this is normal or not, thanks!

Hi, mine tends to lean to the right as well, I think is a combination of the weight of the giant exhaust and the slight lean that every road has. When it comes to the brakes, if you still have the OEM pads, they might be part of the recall and need to be changed, I’m going to make a video about that soon, or you have a little pebble stuck in the caliper.

@@AlbesADV Yes, they changed the pads on the first 1000km service, but they still making noise... Mine despite road lean always turns to right, it feels like the front wheel it's enforcing to turn right, weird thing. Right now i'm looking to change the exhaust withouth voiding my warranty, but they only give me the super expensive akrapovich exhaust... Thanks BTW! It's an awesome bike i love it! (except the absurd consumption on city).

Hi Elie, the wheelie control is independent from the TC but with the TC at level 7 or 8 when you try to wheelie the TC senses the slippage and cuts the power.

​@@AlbesADV Frankly speaking, I did not notice a difference, except that the Sport mode is chopping the fuelling like crazy. As Track mode is recommended for track use, I would not expect that the Sport is more responsive, as it is recommended for road use. I personally use always Track mode. BTW: You've mentioned lean angle indicator. You can see the maximum lean angle for a lap section, if you put a display in Race mode.

@AlbesADV

5 жыл бұрын

Try doing power wheelies on SPORT mode you will feel the power coming in sooner and more abruptly, race and track are recommended for the track because the power is smoother and peak power is at higher RPM which is where you would actually be most of the time at the race track. Yes you are right, you can see the lean angle, but you have to put the race mode on and start the lap timer, I was talking about if you are just riding around get on a twisty section of the road and you wonder how much you were leaning, unless you set up ahead of time, the bike doesn't record it.
