@@daithimurphy1832 not me nut my mate he bought a 2020 one brand new and it was constantly in the dealers for the first 7 month with electrical issues . He finally with the finance company got the bike rejected as it was deemed not up to standard for a new bike after Inspection. Have heard a few issues with them from other people I know that had them at bike meets up here in Cumbria. It really put me off getting one after doing research on them and asking around
Some people complain that this is not a real naked bike. What baffles me is that no other manufacturer has copied this brilliant concept! What alot of naked bike owners (me included) complain about is the lack of wind protection , especially on the highway. Now having owned two Tuonos myself, despite being some years older than the one reviewed in this video, this bike is truly a marvel. Let alone the sound of that V4 is worth the money alone.
Absolutely gorgeous bike, and the engine sound .....nothing on 2 wheels sounds better than that.

Wow thanks Red! I’m just a small side kick to Chopsy who’s the main man and main event but really appreciate your kind words and feedback 👍👍
I also took delivery on my new Tuono V4 1100 about a month ago. I second everything you say. My only "frustration" is that I've always enjoyed full-throttle redlining various high-revving bikes i've owned (all 130hp or less). With the Tuono, full-throttle in second gear you're bumping the wheelie control rhroughout 😅, and full-throttle 3rd gear, you're over 100mph with lots of revs to go. So on public roads i find i have to shift at 8,000 rpms usually to keep my license in tact. I know I'm not going to get a lot of sympathy here, but I actually think it would be a more fun street bike at 900cc, so you could really ring its neck and hear that amazing sound at full glory. That said, I absolutely love it, and it has loads of power from 5,000 - 8,000 rpms.

Ya know I really shopped around. I looked at the 1390 Dukes, The tuono factory, the M1000R comp, and the Streetfighter V4S. And I chose the Streetfighter personally. The Duke was fun but, not what I wanted in the handling department I just didn't bode well with it. The M was great but sooo buzzy to ride and really didn't feel special to me. I'll say this. I didn't vibe with the Tuono personally, the weight and the ergos weren't for me. But you're right, nothing on earth sounds like that Aprilia V4. Nothing. I love my V4S, it fist the bill perfectly for me. And with the akrapovic exhaust it sounds fantastic. But the ape V4 is just a tier above everything with the way it sounds. And the sound alone and cruise control almost won me over. Lol

Great video Greg! I feel exactly the same with my 2024 RSV4 Factory they really are amazing machines. I done a 200 mile round trip in a day without any comfort issues. Fuel wise I generally reset the trip and refuel at 100 miles just to be safe as I have no gauge only a warning light. I’ve found It’s also possible to change suspension from A1 - M3 on the fly using the up and down cursor whilst on T2 display screen. Cheers Jake.

Greg, couldn’t agree more. I do wonder if in the V4 Tuono we have in many ways reached ‘peak bike’? Obviously it’s subjective and there are other great bikes, but there’s just something really ‘right’ about it! You can get faster bikes - but realistically it’s ‘too’ fast for the road. You can get lighter bikes - but honestly its about perfect to provide a supple ride with the suspension. You can probably get ‘faster’ handling bikes - but I’ve not ridden anything that feels as dialled-in as that Tuono/RSV4 front end. And the sound and feeling from the engine are hard to convey to anyone who’s not ridden one. I’m never selling mine 😂. (Partly because my wife loves it too and won’t let me)

I could listen to that idling for hours! Paint pops in the sun. Absolutely gorgeous machine. Characteristics that don't get in the way but you can learn to work with is what makes relationships with machines special - they need some thought and consideration from the rider. Whereas 'perfect' machines get very boring very quickly as it requires no real skill or consideration. I got rid of an S1000RR for this reason - a marvel of engineering, but once I'd got over the initial rush, I found rides more like a very dangerous version of a video game!

Big , big fan of the Tuono Gregorio, great choice 👏👏 And well done for answering a question I’ve been asking for ages, tank range, if it will do 110 ish miles to reserve light that’ll do for me 👍 any chance on your next video that you could record your mileage to reserve over the next 3 tankfuls or so and work out the range and mpg longhand, by calculation not just trusting what the trip tells you 🙏?? I have been fancying one of these for ages, so I think I’ll have a speed white one with some black forged wheels on it 😍 Just one last observation, is the brake lever on your bike set slightly higher than the clutch lever? Or am I just a bit cock-eyed 🐔?? Keep the videos coming, loving them 👍
Rizoma levers are a great addition Greg, made the front braking so smooth

Test drove one tvice. 2023 factory. Really Nice bike. But some things bothered me. 1 gets hot when drivning Slow. Almost bbq my feets. 2. Doesnt like Slow speed. 3. Ridning position gets tiring att your wrists after a while. 4 some wierd vibrations at 6-7k. 5 Abit Slow to flick down in corners. But easy to fix. Fantastic engine tho.
if you think they are bad on fuel then try a 1299s Ducati, my light always came on at 80 miles then another 2o miles in reserve. My 2020 RSV4 Factory is similar to yours in that the light comes on at 110 miles, i have got 25 miles out of the reserve after that. filled up and had 2 litres spare.

Fantastic looking and sounding bike, every time I sit on one at a show l think how tiny it is and how it fits me perfectly. As for the quickshifter, they were always meant to be used when on the power to save a bit of time when hard on it. I know some manufacturers have managed to program their shifters to enable smooth up and down changes at low speeds and throttle openings, but to me that's a lazy shifter, not a quick shifter, just use the clutch when pootling. Or go the whole way and get one of the the new electronic clutch options.

I totaled my ‘17 Tuono factory last year at the track. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about when I get to replace it. And after considering a dozen different bikes, it’s still the Tuono. I don’t see how it can be beat for spirited riding on the street and occasional track days. I have a multistrada for touring, so apart from that, it’s literally perfect. My quick shifter worked fine around town and always. Not sure what he’s on about.

I notice the BMW runs the brake lines from the master to left and right calibers direct and the Tuono has a piggy back off the right calliper to Left. The BMW is beautifully set up, even in this minor detail.
A lovely looking bike and for me the V4 is the best engine out there.

Sorry about that!!! 😂
Your quickshifter may get better with age. I have a super duke evo and after 5k miles for whatever reason the quickshifter became better at slow speeds when it had been clunky previous to that. Hopefully yours will be the same. Glad you enjoy your new bike, ride safe!

Ah yes, good thought so let’s see in time. Thanks a lot
I actually like that the Tuono is a non-naked naked bike; makes it easier to live with. Also, a Brembo MC like the 17RCS would not only improve brake feel but also offer a lot more adjustability.

IMHO the RCS isn't that great. The fixed ratio racing master cylinders are a cut above if you're willing to look a bit untidy with the unsightly wiring of a hydraulic switch for brake light activation.
Like a person who, when they are eating say Mmmmmm over and over, I can hear it in your voice! I have the same, at 69 years of age and love it. They are far more comfortable than many many think and they tour very well too with a H&B rear plate. A tip here Gregorio - in T2 screen, you can actively change the ASC modes - ON THE FLY! This works within any of the modes (Tour, Sport, User) Just use your up or down buttons on the left hand controls. Cheers also, No mirrors? What other mods?

Thanks for the tip Fred - I sort of realised you could do that but appreciate the advice. More mods to come in time yes. Just saving up a bit first 😂. Cheers
No better bike on the road 👏👍

Awesome bike
How do you find engine temps in traffic? And notice paint coming off the frame near pegs area? I had a 2020 tuono RR on a gsxr 1000r now but fancy a tuono again looking at deals right now but local dealers got none
Great bike ... Im still in denial im at the age where i need to have higher bars ..but its coming
Did someone nick your mirrors? 😊. Great review Greg. Good to see you’re enjoying it. Love the sound of the V 4, any thoughts to decat it to save weight or loud enough as is? I’m torn between one of these in that colour scheme and a Guzzi V100 Mandello S as I’ve had my Rocket 3 TFC for 4 years now and want something different. As you say best to test them after you’ve shortlisted them.

Sounds good Funky. In answer, the bike is loud enough with the Akra so I don’t plan on changing the pipe set-up any further 👍👍
Incredible machine 👌😍

I bought a brand new one in March fantastic bikeQ how come you use the clutch mine has quick shifter.
Just about the perfect bike, it will be my next bike for sure. The only thing I would add other than the akro is a set of lighter wheels, then it would be perfect 😍
