2017 Aprilia Tuono For A week!! | First Ride WOW!

[@bobsterbrown]

Pick up my 67 reg tuono factory on Saturday can’t wait it’s done 4000 miles I’ve always had supersports but finally making the change to naked Still feeling a little unsure but looking at reviews of the bike they’re awesome

[@telstales8976]

Glad to see Aprilia are really on the ball with lending out bikes to Moto Vloggers and getting their stuff out there on KZbin because if I want to buy a new bike I won't chat to the blokes at the dealerships..I'm straight on KZbin looking for reviews. Another good video Chops 👍. Just a note for ya mate I've subscribed to you for a long time now and your content still doesn't seem to pop up without my physically searching bud...thought you should know

[@LambChopRides]

+The Grom Reaper yeah things are changing and manufactures are finally seeing the benefits. Well some are talking to me but not all yet.. click the alarm bell next to the subscription then you get notifications or should do.. Cheers dude 👍

[@telstales8976]

Lamb Chop Rides ... ah...must of had a brain fart I'm sure i had highlighted notifications bell...dooh! 😂. No worries dude love the channel 👍

[@tHaH4x0r]

It is quite funny that nowadays youtubers put out the same quality video as professional reviewers, except with actual content and not marketing wank. Great video, cant wait for the rest.

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks matey that is a great complement cheers!

[@lingenfelterzeeohhsix8154]

Why oh why oh why oh why is there NO Aprilia dealer within a 1,000 miles of me!!??? Man I LOVE the 1100 Tuono Factory!!!! Came VERY close to buying one as my first Supernaked , leaving my sport bike past. I left that class and my 2015 crossplane R1 because of a motorcycle related back injury and my riding patern and preference seemed to point directly at the Supernakeds being that ALL my riding aside from a. Couple track days a year, are daily commute and pleasure in the canyons but a thirst for Torque , agility but also some comfort. Test rode one from an exotic car dealership that picks up a few random exotic bikes occasionally. Had 12 miles and brand new even tho it wasn't comming from an Aprilia dealer. I test rode it and it was EVeRYTHING I never knew I needed and wanted! 🙂 would clearly be an absolute weapon at trackdays , but could take it on a 6 hour meandering ride on my way home. The cost at $17,500 US was hard to swallow , not that it's not worth it but is clearly expensive, then doing some research into Aprilias reliability track record and seeing the cost numbers for some of the servicing , I about passed out, but the killer was no dealer within a thousand miles of me and a bike not known for their reliability. IF there was a dealer within a couple hours, hands down would have bought it. My point was demonstrated to me by a relatively famous KZbin motoVlogger "The Muscle Biker" ,..he's local and has a zx6r and a RSV4 SBK Factory,..GORGEOUS! He actually bought it out from under me unknowingly funny enough. Well he needed to get the valves ajusted , bit no dealer within a 1000 miles so decided to do it himself and he's mechanically inclined. Ended up messing it up and it's been out of commission for a few months and sitting out of state at a shop , oh and it's going to be EXPENSIvE! While it's down he decided to get A new bike, , bought my FZ10 that I regret selling now. He's vlogging like crazy on it and loves it. He also said he's obsessed with the sound it produces ,..that's comming from an Aprilia guy which says LOtS! His experience demonstrated my fears. If only we had a dealer near!! That Factory is my dream,..but I've also decided I'm buying another FZ10, after 2 years ownership, and it only being gone a month , I need another one which Says something about the FZ10 for me personally. I'm curious what owners of these have to say about the reliability, is it all BS or legitimate? I ended up spending $8,250 US LESS on A new crossplane FZ10 (MT10) , the only Japanese Supernaked and while I understand the FZ10 is not a Tuono Factory or a superduke , at nearly half the cost, Yamaha reliability and dealers on every corner, performance not far off those other two even considering the price difference and the selling point for me, the crossplane 4 that is retuned for torque in the low and midrange. Ya it's down on power from the R1 but it's supose to be, Jsut like the tuono from the RSV4 bit it feels SO fast with that torque curve! I mean, my '15 R1 was a monster up top but on tight tracks , Turns, city commuting get painfully out of place and almsot gutless at lower speeds (which it's obviously supose to) never had much of an issue of the front wheel comming up very often, but my FZ10 , just like lamb chops review, it constantly on every ride comes up SO easily just under throttle. Gives a sensation of speed and power every where you go, parking lots, city streets, canyons, Jsut feels insanely fast! Have been able to overtake many a sport bikes at track days with the less powered Snaked FZ10. I know ya either love or hate the looks but I happen to LOVE it! So for me personally , the FZ10 is perfect in every way., did a race filter , Termignoni Y pipe and a reflash and getting numbers better than the tuono, so the 160 hp is no existent now, not that it wasn't enough. It's ceiling is above where I could ever reach performance wise at my level. Id love an SP , best of all worlds but doesn't appear we will ever get them here. While I am obsessed with the Rossi-GP sound of a catless crossplane 4 , every time I hear that Aprilia V4 my knees get shaky! Decat it with an Austin or SC project and it's pure bliss! I keep watching your videos of the tuono!

[@SladeRenegade]

I'm pretty envious right now. I am thinking of "upgrading" my 2014 Triumph Street Triple R to the 2017 Tuono. Your videos are definitely doing a great job at convincing me to sell the STR and buy the Tuono. lol Great videos, keep up the great work. I'm looking forward to the upcoming content. Thumbs up.

[@jakexe3009]

Ordered one of these for myself today. Thank you LCR for helping me make my decision. Can Not Wait.

[@LambChopRides]

You lucky sod!! Im green

[@MattJFilms]

We had a 17 Tuono come in to get the anodized gold factory forged wheels put on, one of the best sounding and looking bike we've had in recently!

[@LambChopRides]

yes the forged wheels are the only thing its missing tbh, bet it looked amazing on those gold rims!

[@r3nlot]

No idea why it took me so long to find your channel. Absolutely love the videos sir!

[@LambChopRides]

+r3nlot welcome alone 😎

[@Shimmoda]

Wow great job Chops! Edits are getting better! I've been debating selling my factory to get a newer one haha

[@LambChopRides]

+The Muscle Biker cheers dude! Well hold off I have the RSV4 RF for a week from today! 😍😍

[@Loopy3006]

V4's sound just the best

[@therealslimshady4555]

Getting a 2019 aprilla touno1100 tomorrow for the day of a local dealer if I like it I'm ordering a new one chops am I wise??? My head is fried should I stick to BMW 1000??

[@LambChopRides]

No amazing the 2017 was, I bet with that fancy suspension it's going to be incredible 🤩🤩

[@LawrencePhotographic]

Thanks for the video - I have ridden the 2017 Aprilia Factory but only in SPORTS mode as I did not have the bike for long and I did not want to fiddle about with the menu. I found that in 1st gear when filtering through traffic between 6-20mph the bike would shudder as if the clutch was dragging, but only after I had de-accelerated first. Pulling in the clutch lever and releasing seemed to help and the power was then smooth again. No problem pulling away from stop and then in 6-20mph, only on de-acceleration then moving again - I hope you can cover this area more fully in your future reviews, especially in all engine modes to see if less engine braking in TRACK and RACE modes will resolve the less than smooth travel at low revs.

[@LambChopRides]

Yeah it has a slight lash but tbh its doesnt bother you after awhile. I certainly wouldn't let it put me off buying one.

[@tomasnilsson1669]

A friend of mine has a Tuono and he also complained about the low rev chop/jerkiness you describe. After a couple of nights of googling this issue he decided to get a upgraded ECU. If it is a race-ECU or just a stock ECU with different mapping is unknown but the low rev chop is gone. Another thing that went away was the engine braking so he is kind of undecided if its the right purchase or not. However, from this we can learn that it is not a enginge characteristic but a ECU-programming feature or bug. Software...

[@LambChopRides]

Great to know Tomas! Good to know there is a fix should it become to much of an annoyance

[@woodymt-1012]

Well done on getting in with the Press Fleet, chuffed for you dude! I sold my Tuono a couple of weeks ago as I had some plans for the money. That all went out the window shortly after so I now have an MT-10 arriving this week, can't wait lol.

[@LambChopRides]

Oh no!! Youve been telling me for years to get a V4 and now Im finally listening youve gone and jumped ship to Yamaha?? wft dude :-) seriously MT-10 is great your going to love it!

[@woodymt-1012]

I know mate but you've got to have a v4 at some point they are pretty awesome. I just had to get the Yam, it was an itch that needed scratching ;-)

[@johna6968]

A thing of beauty and some comfort too. I hope you still have a licence when it goes back.

[@LambChopRides]

Yes you and me both!! Im more worried about the RSV4 next week!!

[@MLambdaman]

FYI, downshifter also works with open throttle (if you "need" more power when overtaking) :)

[@LambChopRides]

haha yeah I did read that! Will try that later today as part of the electronics package test vid :-)

[@rdrg7362]

Please stay alive to give us more Tuono reviews!

[@TUBINATWORK]

I actually have to disagree with you on one thing specifically, that it makes you go fast. I just traded my 13 gixxer 750 for a 17 Tuono, and I have a MUCH easier time keeping my speed down on the Tuono...so far at least. I got thru my break in miles in just one week, I freakin love it!

[@JpOcDenver]

Congrats. Same bike for me. Same feelings. Couldn't be happier. Flew thru the break-in.

[@LambChopRides]

+TUBINATWORK yes thank God it's got no fairing as limits the top speed! The more I ride it I've settled down a bit but still find it hard to resist 🤗🤗

[@ingopaul67]

Good vid and looking fwd to further vids. One point the Tuono V4 has not been around since 2007, the Gen 2 V2 was only launched in very late 2005 and was in production until 2010, when the V4 was launched. The RSV4 was launched a little earlier in 2009.

[@LambChopRides]

Yeah your right, cocked up on that fact sorry

[@gabrieljohannson6777]

Nice review. That electronics package seems pretty jammed pack with goodies. Will await for the review of that. Well done Chops.

[@wascarg5341]

2017 tuonos do have LED lights they just not strip leds but they are LED BULBS very bright What a bike " how is the reliability for you guys so far ?

[@sphinxsway]

Cute to hear you find LED blinkers and headlights "fundamentals"

[@ninjakat8922]

Well I'd take the set-up and engine of the Tuono everyday over LEDs, but it's 2020 (now) it's a pity to not have awesome LEDs.

[@scott1111]

Awsome pal !! Congrats on the press bikes you well deserve it ! I have a 16 factory and it's a dream!

[@Frankenthe3rd]

Great video! Can't wait for the follow up vids. I noticed you said the Tuono has slide control. Is that a dedicated slide control or just adjustable via the traction control?

[@LambChopRides]

+Frankenthe3rd it's all part of the traction control and not adjustable separately. Unfortunately they didn't give me the bike booklet so I'm learning about the electronics by using them! Quite intuitive though the controls

[@Frankenthe3rd]

Lamb Chop Rides Awesome, cheers. I found the sales brochure online so if you want all the technical details etc have a read www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=rom-racing.ch/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Tuono-V4-1100-RR-Factory-2017-Info.pdf&ved=0ahUKEwjMlfPf1avUAhUEjZQKHUGIDwsQFggcMAA&usg=AFQjCNFFjsKFQSSOI5Tme3Qcqbq7Y9mZSQ&sig2=npOpV7kTuOReEB4qtXUA0Q

[@michaelnelson3469]

Nice review. I have a 2018 Factory I picked up this past Monday. What video editing software are you using that allows you to blur the dashboard when you are being naughty?

[@satur0s]

Sweet video man, looking forward for next ones! I have those tuono cravings... only worried about legroom, how did you find it?

[@LambChopRides]

Not as good as the Superduke, way better than a sportsbike. Im 6'2 and find it ok, bit more room would be nice..

[@edrickmendez7978]

Love Aprilia bikes..Awesome video! 👍😄

[@moomoodeadcow]

I'd change led indicators, headlights, tft dash for a couple more hps any day of the week.

[@billymonkey111]

Love the face drawn on the lens spec.

[@johnbowen8599]

Test ride this sat, hopefully half decent partx for the old rc8 , and I'm ready ,, watching reviews etc , I can't wait if I'm honest

[@LambChopRides]

Think you will love it! :-)

[@RahulAllanMedia]

Damm the future looks good for you.Your videos are amazing.

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Dude!

[@chrisdewick7342]

I am looking at one of these or a KTM superduke R 2018. Appreciate your views on why you choose KTM?

[@mrdaulo]

Hi I found the KTM to have a lot of vibration through the pegs.

[@parko1965]

Test rode both and chose the Tuono Factory, KTM was a bit tractor like.

[@mauro954rr]

love this bike!! amazing video editing well done Mr Chops!!

[@LinuxGalore]

I've noticed a few EFI bikes have a slight lag on the throttle, it is especially noticeable when I swap to a carburetor track day bike and notice the throttle response is almost instant in comparison.. Also some bikes keep changing map modes when you are in traffic or at slow speeds, it can become annoying. I dare say the after market ecu guys are making lots of money though fixing this mess.

[@LambChopRides]

+Richard Neal yes it's down to the emissions garbage I'm sure... I bet if you change the exhaust and a remap it would be perfect. This one isn't too bad though compared to some others

[@noname-fw4iw]

Hi Lamb Chop, between the Tuono and the MT-10, which has the most sensational sounding engine ? I know they are very close but i'd like to have your opinion. Thanks !

[@LambChopRides]

+brad bellic good question and has to be Tuono you cannot beat the V4 roar! Mt10 / R1 second though!

[@pistolpete6321]

Awesome review! I own the 2016 Factory and you're right about it egging you on and the need for superhuman self control!

[@LambChopRides]

They are great arnt they, Im falling in love with it! See why they added a pit limiter, not sure why they didnt just call it town mode :-)

[@pistolpete6321]

Buy it Chopsy, you won't regret it!

[@achimduc3938]

Trackday with Tuono i did it 🤪👍

[@MatNewtonTrio]

Good grief.. You lucky bugger. That's my favourite naked bike. Beast!

[@warblooroob]

Aaand the big question is, will there be a new ktm or aprilia in your garage when summer hit it's peak ;)?

[@LambChopRides]

I wont know for sure until after my couple of weeks with the Superduke :-)

[@warblooroob]

Looking forward to it, i've testrode the aprilia but got no dealer with a demo ktm around :(

[@bully8711]

Hey LC all ready to purchase new Tuono this month ,, BUT !! reading quite a few posts of stalling coming to a stop.. did you have any issues for the week you had the demo???? My current RC8 had same issues early on "right pain in the arse" had to raise idle couple of hundred rpm to stop it.

[@LambChopRides]

You lucky sod! I had no issues at all with the bike while I had it and the RSV4, both worked flawlessly. Just get it bought :-)

[@bully8711]

cheers bud!!

[@The-Randomest-Guy]

[@Justwanthavefun_100]

Hahaha you diazepam to calm down while riding ! That Aprilia is very amazing fun to ride and very exciting engine & exhaust sound too 👍🏻

[@LambChopRides]

Cheers dude!

[@rockyp3917]

Hello Lamb Chop, I am getting sleepless n nights trying to decide between buying a Tuono or a 1290*Superduke. Which one do you prefer and why

[@LambChopRides]

+Rocky Pingale so hard Rocky.... if I was a smaller guy I think it would be the tuono, but being big and bulky the Duke suits me better so that swings it for me in the end

[@rockyp3917]

Lamb Chop Rides I was unable to get a test ride for the Tuono but did ride SD 1290. Do you miss the exhilarating Torque on the Tuono though?

[@The-Randomest-Guy]

Rocky Pingale nope. The torque is greater on the Duke but he Tuono handles better. It's not like you're gonna actually get anywhere faster on the Duke.

[@rockyp3917]

Craig G I wasn't concerned about going faster anywhere but the mere fun factor. Being on the super duke felt like being on a roller coaster. I haven't ridden a Tuono yet hence I wanted to know which bike feels better

[@rockyp3917]

Hey Lamb Chop, big fan of your channel. What kind of recording tools do you use, the mice and camera? Gopro?

[@LambChopRides]

+Rocky Pingale thanks Rocky, in the video description I have some links to my equipment including cameras and mics. I use GoPro Hero 4 and a Sony helmet mic which is great, take a look 👍

[@rockyp3917]

Thank you, LC.

+LemmyBoy thanks matey 👍👍

[@cribs4551]

Evil question: If you had to choose only one bike for road riding which one would it be, Tuono or 701 Supermoto?

[@LambChopRides]

Oh now your asking! I think the 701... Its just so much fun!

[@rubenvalentim3687]

Do you think Aprilia would loan you a rsv4 rr for a week? would like to know your impression...

[@LambChopRides]

Picking up the RF version Thursday, I think they have an RR I can try later on in the summer..

[@rubenvalentim3687]

Nice to read that ! Thanks mate.. Btw... What mods do you recommend for a 98 cbr 900 rr for track? thanks and keep up the awesome work !

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Mauro, appreciated :-)

[@ftrider1768]

now there's a bike worth thinking about, although never owned an aprilia maybe that might change !

[@LambChopRides]

[@LambChopRides]

+Inspirikus I love the X-lite, it's soo light, super comfortable, yes a tiny bit noisey but doesn't bother me at all. And I've seen them for sale for 250 now! That is an amazing helmet for that money!

[@Inspirikus]

Yeah i saw them going for 450-500EUR hear and i saw how light they are but never had chance to test ride one to hear how noisy they are. I use Shoei GT-air uter shit for noise and SR1 Schubert that is race helmet also uter shit for noise. SR1 is lighter but not as much as carbon...So now i am in search for carbon with good isolation against noise and to be lightweight :)...will try to get X-lite to test on bike. Thanks for reply and on side note you ride my favorite bike that i almost bought. Delivery time was deal breaker for me so i went new KTM 1290 SDR :)

[@srtspeedy4983]

2019. MT10 or the Tuono? The super duke is out off the question becouse is sweden that bike is almost 10 times more expensive to insure than the two others.

[@nikos95]

Tuono is slightly racier and has a fair amount more power everywhere. MT10 will be cheaper to buy and maintain. Aprilias are mostly reliable but parts and service costs more. If you don't much care about the power or the uniqueness sit on both.

[@lingenfelterzeeohhsix8154]

My comment above yours addresses the question. I debated the exact same question , tuono Factory or MT10, where I live there's no Aprilia dealers within a thousand miles and form what I've read online , they aren't the most reliable and extremely expensive to fix in comparison to the top reliability and accessibility of Yamaha dealers. I had to have a Factory if going tuono becaue I hate the tail of the RR so for me I ended up shopping around and getting a new '17 FZ10 (MT10) for $8,250 LESS than a Factory Tuono. Nearly HALF the price! It is not a tuono for sure BUT is in the Supernaked class with the tuono and superduke, it's lightyears beyond the other Japanese base nakeds. I have always thought aprilias v4 is the greatest sound on earth but truthefully , decat the Crossplane 4 in the MT10 and it's a VERY similar sound! The popular KZbin motoVlogger "The Muscle Biker " bought mine a month ago, check out his videos and you'll see me and my bike he vlogs with now. He's an Aprilia guy and used to vlog with a RSV4 Factory SBK, gorgeous and full catless SC project system , greatest sound on earth! Case in point his RSV4 needed a valve job which was going to be SO expensive and no aprilia dealer within a 1,000 miles so he did it himself and botched it and not months later it's still out of state at a shop on hold. He bought my FZ10 and LOvES it! He also said what I've always thought, the way I had it (catless /y-pipe ) the crossplane 4 rivals the sound of the v4. Quite similar once decated. Important to note, the FZ10 is only down 15hp from the tuono. $500 for A simple reflash and y pipe and you will have more hp than the tuono for less money and have reliability and similar sound. The FZ10 has fully adjustable suspension , great electronic rider aids ; 4 stage traction control, ABS , 3 rider power /throttle modes , wheelie control, cruise control , LCD screen, delta box frame , brembo components , truly Supernaked parts ,..If it's brakes you love , put EBC pads on the MT10 and it's amazing , the suspension is fully adjustable and can be proffesinally set to what you need and want and with all of that costing pennies on the dollar compared to a tuono , you have true tuono performance at a lot less cost. For me $8,250 LESS! Everything pointed me to the R1 based crossplane FZ10 and I owned it for 2 years with NO problems , and of the 12 bikes I've owned, 11 being sport bikes from ducatis to the last of which was the epic crossplane 2015 R1 and I can truthefully say without a doubt, the FZ10 has been my most favorite bike I've owned! By far!!! In fact love it so much I'm getting another one which says a lot being a HUGE Tuono Factory Lover! Could easily buy one now but everything was perfect for me with the MT10 so going that route. Now IF you are in Europe, go MT10 SP, tuono Factory level top of the line equipment and parts with all the reliability of Yamaha! We don't have the SP here unfortunately . I will say , if I'm Europe and you have access to aprilia dealers close and IF they aren't as unreliable as most say they are and they are less expensive that here in the US, may be worth it t you to get a tuono, but every single thing pointed me to FZ10. Let's also note that those that say the tuono destroys the less powered mt10, it's assenine! Outperform , yes but by a fraction, I couldn't tell ANY difference in power between the two , 15 hp to a normal rider isn't terribly noticeable , and if it is, do the cheap reflash and now you have higher numbers than the tuono. The fact is, it takes professional riders to get everything out of these supernakeds that they can offer. Even an advanced rider can't reach the limit of these bikes on a track. They are insane and you will absolutely be blissfully happy with an MT10 , incan say the same about the tuono unless you have mechanical issues which is common. Just my personal experience as someone that was in your shoes . I preferred the Tuono Factory originally and ended up FZ10 and have never looked back! Good luck!

[@srtspeedy4983]

Great answer but many Thinks that the SP is not Worth the extra cash. You wont get it back when reselling either. Im quite tall so for Comfort the MT10 all day long. And the maintainence on the Ape is not that far from the MT10, atleast in Sweden. Its only the walve adjustment that makes it more expensive the other services are wery similar.

[@hubert1142]

@@srtspeedy4983 So what did you pick? Selling 2017MT09 yesterday (10000miles on it) I am exactly in the same spot right now - deciding between MT10 and Tuono. I am leaning heavily towards Yamaha atm. It's cheaper to buy/maintain, there are some amazing aftermarket parts and I simply need a bike I know will always start and work.

Im 6'2 and it was ok, but the Superduke is a better fit for taller riders for sure. The Tuono is quite compact

Why didn't you find any twisty roads for your test? It's where Tuono is ment to be ridden. ;) You really cannot test much when riding straight all the time, maybe only a comfort, acceleration and suspension a little bit, but that's it.

Completely different way of riding, you dont need to hang off the Tuono but you do on the Blade.. Blade turns faster but the suspension on the Tuono is simply gorgeous smooths out the road!

Lamb Chop Rides yeah I was thinking about it cos it's got all the brand new ohlins and an Aprilia frame but it has handle bars instead of clip ons and you're more up right compared to the blade, i want to know what you will think of the rsv4 rf compared to the blade, will that be next week?

[@KentuckyFriedCephalopod69420]

Always great videos mate!

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks dude!

[@everss02]

I think the factory has lighter wheels too

[@LambChopRides]

No only the RSV4 RF has the forged wheels, just regular cast ones on both Tuono's

[@vastgota]

Song in beginning?

[@MarkoFQ]

I hear mpg is very bad on this bike... What is your experience ?

[@LambChopRides]

+MarkoFQ according to the on board computer it does about 43 mpg with a heavy throttle hand..

[@Inspirikus]

Old one was bad...new one is a bit better but shit part is they didn't add fuel gauge on the bike...Who would consider that in 2017 we still need to guess and relay on trip meter...

[@MarkoFQ]

43 mpg is excellent.But trip computers are ussualy wrong, you will know the right figure at pump station :) But still 43mpg is awesome. I read 30mpg is average ...

[@bondistudios5307]

i know its not the same year or bike but my friend bought a 16 rsv4 and when he swapped to race ecu his fuel mileage changed drastically for the better. maybe this is the same?

[@TheCannonRoar]

I have a 2017 tuono with 1500 km on it and can manage about 200 km / 125 miles before fuel gauge starts flashing, which means about 3 liters are left in the tank (yes, the official specs say it's 4 liters which left me once with completely empty tank and 30 min walk to the nearest petrol station). That would result in 8.0 l/100km or about 30 mpg. The computer says 4.5 l/100km or 50 mpg - I would not trust it. Still, amazing bike, wouldn't change it for anything else, specs are only specs, what really counts is how fun it's to ride. And it's hell of a fun. The engine is thirsty but sounds intoxicating and works perfect

[@bchant19]

how on earth are you going to be able to let them take this bike away from you chops? I know you've got the rsv4 next so maybe it won't be too bad.

[@LambChopRides]

haha yeah been thinking the same! Good job Im swapping of something cool or would be crying hehe :-)

[@johnnykawakid]

good review, lc well done,

[@frank9392]

Beautifull bike. So sad this bike isnt for tall people though. I'm 1,97 and do fit on most Supersport bikes but not Aprilia's 😝

[@willsherriff3711]

Frank 1290R the rsv r is quite a tall bike?

[@frank9392]

Will Sherriff I do fit my dads Caponord ☺

[@LambChopRides]

Im 6'2 and its fine.. Bit of wind blast over 85 though.. Longer trips I think a larger screen would be needed.

[@willsherriff3711]

Frank 1290R hahaha same I fit my dads rsv r quite well but he won't let me ride it 😂

[@rimskylee1]

I want one! Just need to find sixteen grand somewhere! I wonder how much is in my penny jar...... 😂

[@LambChopRides]

If its anything like mine not enough! :-(

[@rimskylee1]

Lamb Chop Rides I've probably got enough for the dust caps lol 😂

[@craigmillard1994]

chops you lucky swine! What I'd give to ride that beast! good review so far. looking forward to the others. 🤗

[@LambChopRides]

Cheers Craig!

[@indianajones2736]

Did Aprilia actually lend him this bike?

[@ApriliaRacer14]

Aprilia...FTW! I get the irony of my account name so save it.

[@weejock13]

is the only diff between the factory and RR the suspension ????

[@LambChopRides]

+weejock13 yes ohlins suspension and RSV4 tail, plus it has the RF style paint job

[@weejock13]

Lamb Chop Rides I seldom take pillions but on rare occasion I do get victims to go for a spin... would the factory be ok for once in a while pillion rides??

[@LambChopRides]

+weejock13 yes it would providing they are not huge 😂😂

[@tuyenhoang5546]

I think the wheels are different too as factory has forged wheels

[@joeridestrijcker445]

Factory does NOT have forged rims: it does have the Ohlins steering damper, but I assume that falls under the 'suspension' category too

[@karlwalker1771]

I have subscribed because you seem to be a discerning biker and know your velocipede:) ps please review the bikes of our decade(80s/90s) at some time eg RD500YPVS and as your mind stirs the other pinnacles of motorcycling(CBR FIREBLADES). Please don`t review the latest manager or boardroom directors wet dream as you are avid biker and know what is what and is affordable:) I look forward to you reviewing a bike that has no nanny electronics or linked braking system and a bike that you ride on the edge of your wits as GOD intended:) you lamb chops know what I mean. Please review any 250 plus 2 strokes from OUR era and you will gain my full support, please don`t crash it as this would reinforce our mothers claims that bikes are dangerous and forbid us from keeping our pride and joy in the kitchen at night pmsl:)

[@LambChopRides]

Ive reviewed an older ZX10 (2005) its hard to get access to the classics 250 / 500 would really love to try one. Have a mate with a race RG500 which Im hoping to get a go on when hes completed building it

[@alians1978]

How could it both "Long term test" and "First impressions" ?

[@LambChopRides]

+Ali Ansari it's because this is the first impressions video of a series of videos on this bike which I have for long term test. Confused? Yes me too

[@GareyCooperdude]

Lamb Chop Rides ""hey chopster I just bought a 2017....at least in the USA you get a pillion seat AND the RSV seat as part of the purchase deal.....using the key 🔑 on the bottom of the seat allows you to swap them...

[@LambChopRides]

+Garey Cooper Hi Garey, did you get the Factory version? If so yes your right but the factory seat must be tiny still when fitted? On the R model it has a full sized rear seat that was my point 👍

[@GareyCooperdude]

Yup, did get the factory version...and yes that is a pretty small seat for the pillion. Not sure how it compares to the one on the RR........not trying to challenge your point at all dude, just pointing out that here in "excited states" you do get a swappable pillion street with the Factory. Not at all sure about elsewhere in the world. I don't know how to post a photo to show you the size? In any case the entire point about the Tuono is NOT as a two up machine...it is as your excellent review pointed out a sporting ride pure and simple.

[@LambChopRides]

No worries Garey, be interesting to see what the seat looks like, does it come above the tail fins?

[@cantfindanamefree]

That snatchy throttle is Annoying around town. Change the exhaust to the akrapovich and free ecu flash and that issue goes away.

[@constantineeliadis5582]

Anyone new owners annoyed by the fuel cap and back splash on filling or was that an older model issue?

[@LambChopRides]

Yeah I did notice that today.. made a big mess. Need to hold the filler out slightly dont you

[@constantineeliadis5582]

Thanks for reply. Ah.. so a current annoyance ... Dealer says point nozzle to back of bike and fill slow ... given the time spent at the pump for this bike, a solution is needed! Otherwise it seems flawless ...

[@CatamaranChannel]

Superhuman selfcontrol....that you dont have :-p Great bike!

[@LambChopRides]

+Catamaran Channel no haha

[@RPM-ty2ju]

lucky bastard enjoy

[@pxKappa]

there she is :3

[@LambChopRides]

Here at last :-)

[@MrMcdMafia]

Don't do this to me now I have to wait until you upload more of the Tuono, ;)

[@everss02]

they are smart, watch the 2018 will be all led

[@shaun9107]

moto pilot just got that bike

[@Filip_Phreriks]

I want it, but I also want to keep my licence...

[@LambChopRides]

haha, yeah thats the trouble!

[@harleysrule2176]

Needs a bigger tank.

[@fcodijk]

needs to be less thirsty ;p since its not a 4000 pound truck. it does drink like it is lol

[@ninjakat8922]

I'd say that it mostly needs a fuel gauge. 18.5 is the norm for these supernakeds, but shit having a light turn on when there's 4L left is just stupid. My old on-off from 2005 had a fuel light with a 5L reserve and could do 80km before refueling, I can only imagine this beast has about the same range as a human on foot when the light comes on, haha

[@Omar_675_24]

I Will Buy this bike :)

[@easternmenace]

Maybe I could afford something like this in the next 15 years lol

[@everss02]

Eastern Menace I've seen 2016 leftovers for 10500 in Cali, smoking deal

[@easternmenace]

I guess that would be less in pounds but still I'm a student and only have A2 category license so I would need to pass the test again and then finish studies and only then think of saving up for something like this.

[@limb0xz]

thing is ur paying 15000 to 20000 quid

[@lukaszg74]

looks like aprilia is doing everything to sell those bikes including renting them to people for some advertisement . it's fantastic bike but costing to much money and if you buy one it's going get stolen soon or later . Enjoy mate

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Duke crushes it like bug at lower revs. motorcycle.com.vsassets.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/2016-aprilia-tuono-v4-1100-factory-vs-ktm-1290-super-duke-r-hp-torque-dyno-547x389.jpg

[@hnic72]

Lifted_Above doesn't mean it accelerates faster.. Gearing (shorter) can/will alter power delivery

[@WheatMillington]

1 week = long term. K.

[@JpOcDenver]

Check out my channel to see this beast (my 2017 Factory Tuono) in it's Natural Habitat.

[@MLambdaman]

You mean in a gas station ?

[@jimmyjoe119]

nice bike but just to pricey........mt10 all the way more bang for your buck

[@soulll84]

jimmyjoe119 Agree, Maybe one day I'll get one, Fz10 will do for now

[@TUBINATWORK]

Depends where you live. In Canada, the Tuono, MT/FZ10, and S1000R, are all within a few hundred of each other. However the super duke is clear over $3-5K more than all of them.

[@SmokinZen]

Lots of performance and sound but I think they are all ugly especially the boring colors year after year
