How do the Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory’s electronics stack up against other high end naked bikes?

The Aprilia's electronics are a little overwhelming to me. It’s so distracting because there are so many options and settings. Other brands have a more intuitive interface.

The Tuono’s electronics are there when you need them, but don’t get in the way when you don’t. They find a nice balance between safety and letting you actually feel the bike.

I think the Aprilia’s electronics feel a bit dated in terms of user interface compared to something like a KTM Super Duke. The menu system needs an update, it works great, but...

The Tuono wheelie control is phenomenal. It is fun without being overboard. Other bikes I’ve tried are either too intrusive, or not effective enough.

I love how customizable the Aprilia’s electronics are. It's really easy to fine tune the bike to your riding style, more so than on a lot of other bikes that I've ridden.

ABS on the Tuono in the corners is a game changer. It just gives you so much confidence in corners. I’ve ridden bikes with it, I’ve ridden bikes without it, and the difference is night and day.
Can the Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory be ridden long distance?
15 January 2025 09:22
For what it is, it’s surprisingly comfortable. Long rides are way better upright than a sportbike. All you need to do is add a windscreen and you’re set.

Comfortable? Maybe for a couple of hours. A dedicated sport tourer, however, would be better suited to real long distance riding. It gets tiring as you don't have any wind protection.

I’ve done 500 mile days on my Tuono. It’s not plush, but it’s doable. It’s all about taking lots of breaks and maybe even buying a better seat.

The biggest issue on long rides for me is fuel range. Breaking up the rhythm of a long journey is having to stop every 100 miles or so.

That depends on your definition of 'long distance.' It's perfect for spirited day trips. If you’re going on a multi day tour you might want something a little more focused on comfort.

I find it plenty comfortable. Highway speeds are smooth on the V4 and the riding position is a good compromise between its sporty and relaxed.

It's all relative. The Tuono feels like a Gold Wing, coming from sportbikes. It's definitely on the sporty side compared to a real touring bike.

The weak point for long rides is the stock seat. In turn, swap it out for an aftermarket option and the comfort level improves dramatically.
Is the Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory too much for street use?
15 January 2025 09:22
Absolutely not! On the street, the Tuono V4 Factory is a beast. Yes, it's got insane power, but the electronics make it surprisingly manageable. It’s a superbike with more comfier ergonomics.

It’s a bit much for everyday riding, I’d say. It's intoxicating power, but you can't really use all of it on public roads. It's also not very good on fuel economy if you are commuting.

It's overkill, depending on your definition of "overkill." The Tuono Factory is the ultimate street bike experience if that’s what you’re after. It's not practical, that's not what it's meant to be. It's about the thrill.
Is the Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory too much for street use?
15 January 2025 09:22
Mine I’ve had for daily use, and it’s amazing, but I think it’s overkill. It’s hard to justify as a pure street bike because of the maintenance costs and fuel consumption.
Is the Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory too much for street use?
15 January 2025 09:22
Not overkill at all! The Tuono is a versatile machine. It’s track ready but still comfortable enough for long rides. It is adaptable to any road condition thanks to the electronic suspension.

It's overkill in every best way. It’s more than you need, but that’s what makes it special. Each ride is an event.
