2022 Aprilia Tuono vs Triumph Speed Triple RS vs BMW S1000R vs Honda CB1000R | Hypernaked Shoot-out

These are the kind of great videos we can learn about the differences and make the selection easier when making a purchase. It’s not engraved in stone, but you bring up interesting points and opinions. Cheers !

After nearly twenty years of riding, I'm on my first BMW (an F900r). The way BMW does all the tiny details that aren't apparent in the spec sheet will keep me on them for a while I think. Just incredibly well thought out bikes.

[@stfuliberal]

All good until you have to service them.

[@jbb3675]

Like the Japanese bikes though, they have no soul. They're basically just appliances...

[@thespectator5259]

@@stfuliberal Is it because they are unreliable, or is it because of the price of their parts/labor? I could kind of live with the later, but not the former...

[@malcolmabram2957]

@@thespectator5259 I had a BMW R100T and did 78,000 miles on that bike, no problems above routine servicing. The one thing was a new clutch plate. I now ride a BMWR1250R, had it 4 years, no issues, though it is a bugger to start in cold weather (problem with the 1250 cc boxer engine (talking to other riders)).

Aprilia all the way. The engine alone is enough to take it, but the whole bike is a masterpiece.

I just bought a '16 Tuono V4 Factory last week with a race tune and Austin Racing exhaust and it's phenomenal! I enjoy it so much that I've decided to sell my '14 MV Agusta Brutale 675 as it's just not as good... Still an amazing bike and utterly gorgeous but the Aprilia does everything better!

[@axelotl86]

I’ve a Speed Triple 1200 RS in my garage. Neutral is a myth :D It gets better after some miles but it’s still not easy to get in neutral. From those 3 other bikes the S1000R is the only one I would also consider.

Can someone advise here I am thinking to buy between Tuono v4 and cb1000r? I know Honda's are reliable and bulletproof, I had once Aprilia Shiver 750,. They are overheating, oil leakages here and there but no major issues. Now I am reading about tuono's have problems with oil, valve adjustments, etc. Is it worth it or shall I go with Honda? I would like to hear your first hand experiances on these bikes? Thanks

[@alexo4324]

Great review! Are you guys Romanian?

[@kurdebalans2531]

Nice comparison. I have Ist gen. Street Triple and Tuono V4. Triumph better for city traffic, especially cooller between legs 😉 But the sound&power of V4 is just intoxicating 😈 Good job guys and regards from Poland :)

[@RacingandAdventure]

Thank you!

[@MrSadriabi]

Triumph's suspension is fully adjustable. You can adjust it if it feels too stiff. Or you can get it adjusted for your riding style and weight by a professional. This should be done for any bike and over time for the same bike anyway.

[@Maverick-moto]

But the spring rate isn’t adjustable and that’s the problem

[@KB-yj5xp]

I bought the Honda because it was the top of my budget, I think it’s the nicest looking bike for sale, looks better in person. I wish it had a few more horsepower, but it’s not a slow bike, I take it to track and it performs really good, the rear shock was kind of crap so I put an ohlins and now it’s a fantastic bike.

[@RacingandAdventure]

Good choice! The looks are indeed astonishing.

[@sukhpoonib]

Own one too. That low hp number is a lie lol. Its freakin fast.

[@Paulthenutter34]

Good review, thanks. Though I haven't ridden any of the bikes here apart from the Tuono, I've had many triples and inline fours. I bought the Tuono just for the aural experience... My second choice would possibly be the Triumph, it's gorgeous in the grey. That said, it would probably need softer springs for my light ass...

Sold 19 Tuono, thirstiest beast on earth, for V2, difference, night & day. Way better in town, 10 times better in twisty's. V2 incredibly smooth, way more positive in corners. Tuono needs new design, out of date, old. Did 30k miles b 4 sale so no it well.

[@ApriliaRacer14]

Blasphemy!

[@ubergregmoto]

Really enjoyed watching this. You have a great format with the four of you sharing your thoughts. Sad not to see the new MT-10, and it would be great to get your thoughts on the Streetfighter V2-maybe one day soon?

[@volodymyrshoniia2424]

Sfv2 is just an extremely overpriced middleweight, there's no power under 8k (it's a special v2 with no torque), that engine doesn't make any sense in a naked bike, it also runs hot and vibrates your butt; fit and finish is disappointing for the price, so are the screen, transmission, brakes, lack of cruise control and fuel gauge. The suspension is alright, and it does feel very light and small, would be a decent beginner bike for a crazy amount of money considering it's more expensive than a base tuono v4, can basically have mt10 sp for sfv2 money 🤣

[@adampetten1009]

MT10 is a great bike but most people I know like the 09 better. It's light a nimble, but we don't have big highways here for high speed cruising so the MT09 fits the bill good. I'm still enjoying my CB1k that's analog

[@HARALDFILIPANCIC]

[@mikehannan8206]

Good review folks, but the sound track of the engines is missing. If people could hear they would understand why we all go for the Aprilia. Once you hear that throaty roar and the insane acceleration, it's Aprilia all the way my friends!

[@RacingandAdventure]

Thank you! Will improve for next video

[@deankruse4491]

You’ll change your mind when your oil light comes on after every 1500 miles😢

[@mikehannan8206]

@Dean Kruse Obviously we all form our own perceptions from our own experiences. I can only say that my Tuono has never given me any issues whatsoever over 15,00kms of use, and of the 6 bikes I have owned it is the one I decided to keep permenanty. And actually a Triumph is the only one to give me any mechanical issue at all. Make of that what you will I guess.

[@deankruse4491]

Yep I got a piece of crap that burns a quart of oil every 1500 miles so I have to pack oil in my backpack when I ride my shiny new Aprilia. Dealer tells me oil burning is normal for these machines and as a bonus they tell me get ready for oil leaks that are also normal for these machines. Evidently spark plug gaskets start leaking oil profusely on many of these bikes. Thank God I still have my 21 year old CBR 929 RR. Probably trade in this Aprilia for the CB 1000 soon.

[@johnharvey5338]

Would have been good to get them all on the dyno to see what power they all produce on the day.

[@stasn3715]

actually, i have looked it up for BMW and it is very close to what they put on the paper (like maybe 2 hp difference)

[@myaccount6905]

The fuel light comes on very early on the Aprilia. When you then fill it up, most of the time only 12 or 13 liters go in… it’s a 18 liter tank I believe… Aprilia should adjust the sensor a bit…

[@RacingandAdventure]

That’s pretty scary when the first gas station is 100 away from you.

[@Paulthenutter34]

I don't worry about it until the last bar goes red, then it's time for a gas stop, quick...

[@deankruse4491]

Yes and the oil light comes on often too unfortunately😢 Poor quality control at the factory apparently.

[@Antmanmoto]

Where the hell did you get a CB from??? I thought they stopped making that bike

[@Asmodeius]

i had aprilia tuono v4 2021. the same, touring one, also had akropovich exhaust. bike is fun to ride, but it's a weekend toy. if you want to ride it to work every day, forget it. very twitchy/jerky, even in rain mode, has a ton of extra things that regular ride that never goes to track needs, AND they interfere. like i never used turn signals in city on it, simply because, my thumb would never reach the button, instead i had the traction control button by my thumb (like y?). the bike is literally a super sport with hand bars and street adopted sprockets. Also big thing no one mentions, bike runs hot, and on a hot day in city, in traffic, or on long traffic lights it will overheat. I live in NYC, every time i went to brooklyn summer time, i would have it overheat. On a highway that goes to Manhattan, i could have to ride between cars to maintain enough speed for it to not overheat, which is not only illegal but dangerous in such congested traffic. Asides from that, sure bike is fun, goes VERY fast, power in every gear in every power band, it only drops off a bit after 150 miles on speedometer. Also the akropovich exhaust, it's fun and all, but if you want it as a daily driver, after first week, you will get tired of hearing it, even with good helmet, it's too loud and will inevitably start bothering you. Basically, if you never take aprilia on a track, dont buy one. Also if you live in a city, dont buy one.

[@Asmodeius]

Also to mention, i see the guy has akropovich on aprilia. and that's a 2021 model. my man, where did you found a race ecu for it or a flash? i tried nearly everything available, couldn't get a flash nor ecu. in personal experience, modding aprilia is the most pain in the butt deal. Not only that YOU NEED, it's a MUST to either flash ecu or get race map if you get after market exhaust on the bike. the moment you swap exhaust, bike will start running lean when it worms up and after 30 mins of riding, if you sit in a traffic light, you will hear how it starts to chug. this has to be mentioned. I love the bike, i could deal with it being twitchy/jerky, i absolutely hated it overheating, chugging, the whole chores of getting it modded, eventually traded in at a loss.

[@RacingandAdventure]

Right now the dealers are offering the ECU Flash. What bike do you own right now?

[@Asmodeius]

@@RacingandAdventure i was at aprilia dealership in may. in NYC tristate area. they didn't have the flash yet, and didn't know if they get one or not. i had aprilia 2021 tuono v4 touring edition. got rid of it, riding triumph rocket 3 right now. plenty of speed, much more comfortable, speed is on tap, flash available. much happier with it than aprilia. sure it's bigger, not as good on twisties, but it's good enough for average rider.

[@Paulthenutter34]

@@Asmodeius T800 UpMap with Gabro tune. You can have a multitude of maps to suit your bike...

[@Paulthenutter34]

With a Gabro standard map, it disables the exhaust valve when in gear, so it's the best compromise for sound if you don't want loud. It also smooths out the fueling, so much so, I can ride in AEM1 everywhere. The quickshifter and blipper are much better too!

[@jfro5867]

I have a CB too. Terrific bike. Maybe at the extremes it loses out to the others but as a bike to ride ‘normally’ it takes a lot of beating. Masses of confidence on it, comfortable, well made, polished, it feels glued to the road.

[@Paulthenutter34]

Yip, I hardly use 6th gear with the Tuono. And realistically, 120hp is all most of us need for most riding.... Anything above that is for wheelies and mischief ;)

[@jetninjamonkey]

The tiny diameter of the Honda's exhaust manifold tubing looks like it came out of the parts been from circa 1980's. The fact that the Honda is blacked out only makes it all the more unmemorable and uninspiring. Should've skipped the Honda and brought on a Streetfighter v4 or Super Duke 1290r, but the fact that this test involves the Honda does make this test unique because it's seemingly overlooked by most.

[@jfro5867]

The Honda is classy and not plastered in gaudy graphics, no it doesn’t shout ‘look at me’, we don’t all want to ride around like a middle aged Ninja Turtle in a tri-colour racing suit with dark visored helmets, knee sliders and aero hump’s a-la KTM crowd. That’s why I bought one.

[@stewartdillard7199]

I have a 2019 in the Candy Chromosphere Red an boy it is a head turner. I constantly have people coming up and complimenting the bike. Some might call it uninspiring but, I think it is a classic look that will stand the test of time compared to things like the Super Duke or Mt-10

[@jetninjamonkey]

@@stewartdillard7199 Stewart I agree, I think the red color looked amazing and in typical Honda fashion Honda killed its availability in the US. I don't understand why Honda cannot offer multiple colors since all that is painted differently is the tank. Anyways, the red CB also had a polished exhaust manifold which looked great. What you think of the blacked out version, if the blacked out version was all that was available would you have pulled the trigger? I also agree that time will be kinder to the CB over the MT and KTM.

[@dougiequick1]

I wrote the following before watching this but I think the Aprillia qualifies as what I am yearning for in fairing with ergos...I had written "Can someone p;ease explain to me WHY no manucacturer offers relaxed ergos WITH an RR style fairing? Cause I dont get it at all? I realize the resulting bike might not quite look just right given the fairing bubble would have to be just a tad bit taller but seriously? NO ONE? I know adventure motorcycle type designs exist even if not offroad capable in some cases like the S1000XR but it is funky compared to the RR and really there is no GOOD reason it has to be a totally different bike because just look at the single R which appears to share baside RR platform sans the RR's hyper engine tuning....WHAT in the WORLD could be so damn hard about modding the RRs fairing to fit the R'd higher handlebar? Personally it need not even be a full GP looking wrap around fairing just the top part would be fine. I have a sneaking suspicion the ONLY reason we cant have such a version is the marketing idiots and their competition for pricepoint bikes....For one thing if they did offer such a faired R then probably too many custormers would buy THAT instead of the RR and once folks realized how little was invlolved it would challenge their entire pricing scheme? I guess the closest companies come to doing this Kawasaki and Suzuki with the GSX1000GT and the Ninja SX1000 but they both go way past relaxing the ergos and turn each example into PIGS weight wise by making them check all sorts of Sport Touring boxes. Maybe the answer is simply create the PARTS needed to make the RR type models into faired R types? Then perhaps allow customers to order them done up at the factory. I and I know others find this very frustrating we cant just buy an otherwise hard edged sportbike with relaxed ergos....Our only choices are Naked price point bikes ,:ong travel adventure style motorcycles or else heavy sport tourers." .....Now if the other manufacturers will please follow suit with Aprillia? After watching this now I want the BMW with Aprillia's fairing!

[@wernerxldata]

You guys make it look like a disadvantage there’s suspension with old fashioned clickers, it’s a robust and brilliant working system for years. Personally I would not buy a bike with the electronic stuff, I trust the mechanical version way more. In my opionion it would be better to setup suspension properly before testing a bike, it differs for every rider so you’re testing defaults that are probably not applicable to you. Doesn’t give s realistic view of the bike. By the way, dealers should setup suspension as well when they deliver a new bike. In most cases they don’t, makes your new bike a lot less brilliant (and safe).

[@xorbe2]

Honda for budget. Tuono for fastest if you're okay to roll the reliability dice. BMW to play it safe (how odd). Triumph for something a little different and you don't care that the Tuono is ultimately faster.
