I think setting the dash on the Tuono to nightmode helps a lot with how slick it looks. The background in nightmode is black, with white numbers etc, and red accents. It fits the colorscheme of the bike completely, and night or day, the visibility is always great. As soon as my own Tuono switched to nightmode for the first time automatically in a tunnel, I looked if I could change it permanently. Easy to find, and I've never changed it back. I have no clue why Aprilia has chosen to go with the white greyish scheme to start with.

[@codydavis4513]

It does look good, I keep mine on the night mode

[@johnnyrotten8516]

Had a Gen 1 SD, absolutely mental but tank slapped everywhere. Swapped it for a Gen 1 MT and spent a bit of cash on the brakes, suspension and a flash. Fantastic. Love to try the latest SD and the Tuono though.

Owned a KTM Adventure S and hated its quirky electronics and never trusted it, then an MT10 and disliked its fuel range but loved how it rode, and now own a Aprilia Tuono V4 and wow! Everything about it is amazing. I just hope it stays reliable and this to has poor fuel range due to my throttle abuse. But the way that Aprilia performs is truly awesome.

Oh boy I miss the Tuono, I had a 2016 and the thing was just incredible to ride. I moved over to supersports but when I get older I could see myself getting another Tuono. Great vid chaps.

KTM are offering 3k off the RRP on the SDR. I currently have a 2020 Tuono Factory but it's not without its issues, oil leaking and now the fuel sensor is faulty. Going for a test ride on the non evo Duke. Looking forward to trying the beast 3.0 😊

I’ve ridden both the KTM and the Aprilia. Purchased the Aprilia in a heart beat. One of my favourite runs Helmsley, Whitby (I hope it was the magpie for fish and chips) and down to Scarborough. Then home to Ripponden.

[@speedfiend8880]

I currently have a 2018 Superduke 1290 and a 2019 Tuono Factory. The Superduke has the titanium Akrapovic plus every single option from the Powerparts catalogue. The Tuono has the Akrapovic and that’s about it. I’ve had about 50 bikes over the years, including an R1M, shitloads of Aprilia’s, R1s, RC8s etc etc. Both bikes now are the best I’ve ever had. I thought the Tuono would overshadow the 1290 with its semi active suspension, but the KTM holds its own. That enormous shove down low in the revs is outrageous. Yet the sound the V4 makes is ridiculous. I’m just lucky as fuck to have both in my garage.

[@QuickRipzz]

[@fyorbane]

I just bought a new 22 Tuono, but I went with the standard model because I found the Factory handlebars too low for me and my 60 year old wrists. The Standard has higher bars and a bigger screen which gives significantly better wind protection. But oh my god that V4 motor and the superbike chassis is to die for. And the sound, there is nothing quite like it. I am in love.

[@DayzAftermath]

Love the content as always. Having had both the original models the 10SP isn’t enough of an upgrade to change the result of this test in my opinion. But in terms of smiles per $$ the MT is hard to pass up over the others in this scenario.

[@gavin3810]

I mean electronically controlled premium suspension is sure to make a difference lol

[@johnadams3038]

I’ve had the pleasure of owning all 3 of these bikes. KTM fits me best ergonomically and the most fun, although the Tuono begs you to exceed your limits (it’s so damn good !) and the MT10 is a great bike as well. I kept the KTM and sold the others.

[@Critastic]

Damn man that’s cool you got to experience all 3, I had a Tuono years ago and it was easily the best bike I’ve had. I’m on a s1000rr right now, that thing keeps me on my toes lol. I’ve always wanted to ride the superduke, is it really that good?

[@luckyleo88]

Hey man, I have a 2021 Duke R and I'm not sure if I should get a Duc SF V4S or a Ape Tuono Factory...Hoping to own the other two but if I had to choose one...I'm still not sure. I don't have the money now but was just wondering which would be the better choice...I like all 3 of them and I don't think I'll be parting ways with the Duke R in a very long time.

[@Critastic]

@@luckyleo88 the aprilia is hands own a must own bike, it does everything you want it to do and handles like a dream. The Ducati Is an incredible bike but you need to keep something in mind, the reliability is a real issue, and the service can be a nightmare on the Ducati. I’ve ridden both and I would choose the aprilia, it sounds better, is more raucous down low, and is considerably cheaper than the duc.

[@Ta3kno]

Which one would you consider to be the best daily banger? Budget wise I'm leaning towards on used Super Duke or an MT-10. Tuono is the wet dream out of the three though, too expensive brand new and impossible to find second hand. Somehow I also feel it's a bit too tight for a daily bike and for occasional longer cruises. Also not so sure about the Italian reliability. I've ridden both SD and the MT and comfort / useability-wise I would ever so slightly lean towards the Yammy. I just don't like the looks of the MT. I've heard the 790 / 890 Dukes have had some reliability issues, don't know how things are with the SD. I'm coming from an MT-09 which I've found to be the perfect daily banger, dead reliable the Yammies are though which I like...

[@Critastic]

@@Ta3kno best daily banger is the mt10 hands down, lively enough and very reliable. The aprilia is the best bike out of the three IMO, but it is a bit cramped compared to the duke and Yamaha. Aprilia has become much more reliable, I put 25,000 miles on my Tuono and it never gave me any trouble, but you definitely pay more for servicing. The best value is the mt10 for sure, the best bike is the aprilia haha.

MT-10 with a brake upgrade and a cheeky remap gives it a whole new ergonomic. If you get the suspension adjusted for the rider, it rides so much better.. I couldn't justify the other price points, MT all day everyday.

[@SirMountainpass]

I agree! The same upgrades on the bike in SP disguise would be my choice 😉🏁🏁 Can ride it all day - Sardinia can come… Check out tester Schaaf of 1000PS TV… Have upgraded the brakes of my MT09 SP (braided brake lines with sinter track/ road pads), can ride the bike hard on a serious mountain pass and on a fast track day without any sweat - amazing and reliable stopping power. On top, 118 whp taking care of only 182,7 kgs wet complimented by a pro fuelling tune the bike is no slouch in the twisties 😅🏁🏁

Great review! I too test rode the aprilia back to back with my 22 mt10 - the Aprilia has a sportier riding position and makes you feel more at one with the bike, the suspension also feels much better! I liked both engines the same, couldn’t pick between for the roads both have heaps of power! With the KTM reliability wasn’t mentioned, my mate bought a brand new KTM 1290 and it got called back in 3 times in the first couple of months for electrical faults through summer so he gave it back! Really put me off owning one. It’s one thing thinking about which ones the most fun for a weekend hoon but another from an ownership/reliability and cost of up keep stand point!

I rode them all when I bought the Gen 2 Superduke and felt much the same way back then. I'm a sucker for torquey sports V-Twin though, especially with open class performance, and that's the last one. The Aprilia was good, and I loved the sound, but I've got one dealer within 800kms and they've gone through a bunch of fly-by-nights that disappeared. There's 3 KTM dealers within 10-20 km of me. Coming from Japanese sports bikes I was worried about reliability on both of them, but so far it's been apples.

[@andwiseman]

You picked the right roads to test on, there's some great roads round there (and not a lot of cameras!).

[@DJSixty]

I agree. I did test the MT10SP in 2022 and recently the SDR and for me the KTM is better and even more fun to ride. Also more expensive... But the recent price increases of Yamaha put the MT10SP on a difficult spot.

[@mikejgriffiths]

Nice video chaps, appreciate the effort. I bought a 2019 Tuono factory partly due to your 2019 Tuono vid. Any bike that makes Fagan giggle that much has to be worth a look. Currently have a 2021 MT-10, just easier to tour on, and have a MT-10 SP on order. They're all cracking bikes but agree 100% that the Tuono is the "best" bike but not necessarily the bike you want.

[@RutgerSmets]

Well I am following the near exact same path as you, I had the 2019 Tuono as well, in part thanks of the video. I've just sold it after 35000km and have ordered an MT-10SP. And again, yes, the Tuono is the best, but I simply had more fun on the MT-10 when testing it.

[@mikejgriffiths]

@@RutgerSmets Yes 100%. The Tuono is a bit too serious and precious. The MT-10 is up for a laugh and doesn't mind getting in to a pub fight with you 😄. Can't wait for the SP, I think the suspension will finish it off nicely as the standard suspension, especially at the rear, is a bit lacking.

[@lordgibbness]

@@mrkang4080 depends, as everyone's different ;-) I've altered my old mt07 to be my touring bike now, and those three work really well for me. I don't need a sports bike with clip-ons or a tall roader for trips, but like I say we're all different :)

@@lordgibbness I love the conversion idea, but I am lazy so just traded in my Ducati for a GS :)

[@lordgibbness]

@@mrkang4080 haha I'll probably get there in a few years time. The GS is like your destiny we all can't avoid lol

How is the aprilia and ktm quality? In The Netlerlands the bike shops say dont buy one they wil always breakdown.

I’d actually seen these guys at devils bridge when being filmed when delivering training. Owning both the 2022 V4 Aprilia and KTM Evo. Hands down the KTM is now the better bike. Aprilia, feels cheap and plastic. It handles so well but it doesn’t have the same build quality as the previous year. However it does handle better and the sound with the akra can and map is fab. But it’s dated! The KTM add the akra titanium system at extra 2.5k and it’s brings out the inner child and is great town bike and smooth and a playful flickable toy as soon as your on some twisting roads. The Bluetooth connectivity links fab to your phone and intercom. No issues at all with the quick shifter etc, the performance pack is a must. So the bike your spending 21k it’s then the supernaked it’s top of the tree. It’s sublime, however I still track a Tuono!

Playback speed set to 0.5 mixed with 20:47 part gets you a "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" vibe

One of my mates has a gen 1 super Duke it’s a absolute animal I should imagine this one is still just as crazy.
