They softened up the newer models. I owned a 2014 and in sport mode you had to focus on keeping your throttle arm limp and loose on bad roads. One little bump in the pavement and it would turn you into a bobble head with a snappy throttle and instant torque.

Got a 18 model and I'm exactly the same still. Poor thing is stuck in the garage now til spring.

What a selection! So I tested and reviewed the Ducati streetfighter V4s a few months ago, and was blow away by just how amazing it was. I love how much MV has stepped up their game in electronics, yes there's still more to go, but it is a great improvement. I love the sound of the H2, hate the looks haha, the KTM I never really hated or loved, it just was good and that's it. The tuono was a bike I was going to get, but went with it's big (well equal engine sized) brother the RSV4 1100 Factory, but that bike is still the benchmark for supernaked bikes. For me it is between the Ducati and the MV, I want the MV Agusta Rush, or the serie oro, which says a lot being that I have several Ducati's.

I commend the production, the review, and I respect Adam's opinions, so I mean no disrespect when I say that I don't care how fast these go around a track. I would have rather seen a test that involved commuting, some light touring, and general canyon faffing.

I own the 2020sdr, the semi active suspension tuono and the zh2. These bikes are all great and have a unique character that each other cant deliver. All are winners and bargains compared to the 20k+ club. I did try the SF but wasn't prepared to wait 9 months and blow 20k for one so the zh2 got my money. Zh2 once u add a smaller exhaust u lose the 2nd cat and save about 7kg. Noise is fantastic. So unique. Straight line acceleration has the low down of the sdr and the mid range of the tuono and the top end of the SF. Really is something special. Tuonos chassis is a masterpiece. Its a work of art that aprilia have perfected over the years and shows that even tho 25bhp down its only 0.2 of a second slower than the 200bhp brand spanking new 20k Ducati SF. The sdr now has a chassis to be be proud of. My 2019 sdr was a piece of crap. The 2020 sdr handles as well as the tuono but has the vtwin grunt and delivers its power in its own way making it a difference experience to tuono. Like comparing a fast diesel to a fast petrol. Both fast just different. 2020 is a good year for supernakeds 👍🏾

all of these bikes are incredible. it all boils down to rider's preference. none of these bikes have a deal breaker element imo

I would love to hear about comfort aswell. Seating position, comfort, etc. Ktm vs Tuono for example. Of both really loves track and road, which one has most comfortable riding, aggressive vs neutral.

What a world to live in with these fantastic choices. I *really* want a Tuono V4, but the closest dealer service is more than 120 miles away. There's only one dealer in the entire state of North Carolina, despite Western NC having some of the greatest riding in the country. Such a bummer.
