Is the Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory too much for street use?
15 January 2025 09:22
But I'd argue that it's perfect for the street. It's more practical in the upright position with wide bars than a full on sport bike, but still all that performance when you want it.
What’s the character and riding experience like on the Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory compared to its Japanese rivals?

There is no league for the Tuono. There is a character to that V4 engine that no inline four can match. It's just raw, visceral and you just feel like it's special in a way that Japanese bikes aren't.

Japanese bikes are probably more reliable and more refined. It’s exciting, but for day to day use an MT 10 would be easier to live with.

It's apples and oranges. Japanese nakeds are often more street focused, while the Tuono feels like a race bike with handlebars. Both have their place.

I’ve ridden both, and the Tuono has a bit more soul. You can't put a number on it, but you just feel something you don't with the Japanese bikes.

The Tuono is better than the Japanese bikes which are technically excellent but have that X factor. It’s like comparing a finely tuned instrument to a wild animal.

If you want pure performance, there's little to beat the Tuono. However, Japanese bikes often have better dealer networks and cost less to keep in the real world.

But that comes at a price, and the Tuono feels more special. More often than not, Japanese bikes make more sense, and are easier to live with on a day to day basis.
Does the Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory’s fuel consumption cross the line for potential buyers?
15 January 2025 09:22
It’s not a deal breaker, but it’s definitely annoying. The fuel range is pretty pathetic on my Tuono, but I love my Tuono. On longer rides you get used to planning fuel stops.

It's part of the experience! If you're buying a bike like this and fuel economy is important, you've got the wrong bike. It isn’t about the miles per gallon, it’s about the thrill.

For some, I think it’s a deal breaker. Constant refueling can get old fast if you’re commuting or touring regularly. That’s something to seriously consider.

It's terrible on fuel, but that V4 sound and performance are worth it. So just make sure you have some extra cash for gas.

It's not great, but it's the cost you have to pay for performance. I would rather have an exciting bike that drinks fuel than a boring bike that sips it.

Almost a deal breaker for me. The bike is great, but on longer trips the range anxiety is definitely real. To overlook this, you really need to want the Tuono experience.

That’s only a problem if you let it be one. It’s thirsty, yes, but that’s not why you buy a Tuono. Ride, not the pump.

But on track, I don't find it underwhelming. The ergonomics aren’t great for tucking, and it's not got enough power to be exciting on straights.

As a beginner, it’s perfect for track days. Fast enough to have fun, but forgiving enough to learn on.

Street is where it shines. The torquey engine and upright position is the ticket to carving canyons.

I've kept track of mine and it's a lot of fun. It’s not the fastest, but it teaches you good technique.
