[@SinOjOs-Transport]

Lol, oldest saying, bad product. Does not matter the car or bike manufacturer. Purchase enough over the years. Differing manufacturers. Get good ones, bad ones, so so one's. Luck of the draw. Mass production, hangover Monday, etc. You either get a good one or a bad one. Where manufacturing is at today. Most will be good, outside of sensors & other electronics that go bad. A bad sensor, the most common issue, happens from mass production. For the most part modernity is better. Other than the added complexity. More so in electronics. I am kinda leaning back to old dumb carburetors. No computer system. Simply need to know how to re-jet, clean & rebuild carbs, as well as sync them. Simple points for ignition, & gravity feed fuel system. Simply very little to go wrong. For street use, simply do not need the 200+ hp bikes. The old 100-160 hp is plenty fast enough.

My Shiver has had few issues over the last 10 years and over 120K kms. A tacho needle that fell off that got the dash replaced under warranty. Some electrical issue that was a $100 fix. A starter motor that needed replacement. That was less than $200 delivered and easy to replace. There was an annoying problem with the indictor lights on the rear being real easy to break. Aprilia did end up offering better stalks for them but I ended up buying some led ones they had which were more solid. Started getting some oil leaks a year ago. Got it sorted reasonably cheap by an Aprilia dealer. I don't know what the other bikes in their range are like for reliability but if they're anything like the Shiver I'd have no problems buying another Aprilia.

[@zgjfinance2796]

The response in your comments is more likely related to the fact that aprilia is a premium price motorcycle and therefore a smaller sample size is expected

[@shaneflutsch2270]

This is something people never think about. But very true... Imagine knowing 20 people. If 18 of them turn out to be Honda guys, and only two of them have had major breakdowns, then it makes it look like 16 out of 18 bikes are reliable to a tee. However, if the last two of 20 guys are BMW or Ducati guys, and one of those two guys had a breakdown, it makes it look like 1 out of every 2 BMWs or Ducatis are bad. That is called sample size. Like if you only knew one person with an iPhone, and that one person had so many update and glitch issues that you swore never to buy one. And yet look at how many people have iphones in real life, that aren't making negative reviews... Reliability is about sample size and the care you take of your bike, not just the normal "Japanese is ALWAYS superior" attitude that many of my friends give me. Yes, that may be true but... Also one of them managed to blow up a cbr-1000rr at like 9,000 miles. So... It's not just set in stone. I've seen so many people who love their Aprilias and stopped to talk to them. These people ride a lot and also put in track hours 🤷 almost made me want one. Either way they're beautiful bikes 🙂

[@joew7897]

Some minor issues with kawasaki and tons of issues with ducati. Plus it is by far the best track bike i have ever ridden (and yeah i have rode the panigale v4 too) and i never took any of my bike to the official dealership. So summarizing: it is the worst brand just because people are scared pf reliability without a tangible difference? Well that doesn’t sound like a good reason to say that. Aprilia make much better bikes than the majority of their competitors and reliability is just a little worse. If you can’t afford a slightly more ofter oil change than probably you shouldn’t buy an aprilia since the beginnjng. Then, ducati… seriously you want to talk about ducati as a good example of reliability? Cmon..

[@OmerAytac-r8g]

I cought between buying a streetfigher or a TUONO. but the tuono is weighting more since I'm not the type to consider brand hype.

[@piyash5514]

Owned 26 Aprilia never had problems.

[@Raghu155_]

😂

[@DeadRoman]

People buy a high strung race bike and expect it to be a honda…

[@paulantonio740]

Nice short. I've owned 4 Aprilias, which were generally reliable but not always. I replaced 2 stators myself on 2 different gen Tuonos. Enjoyed these bikes but my current ride is a Kawasaki and I have my eye on a Yamaha. So I guess it'll be Japanese for the foreseeable future

[@audiovectra]

As a dealer motorcycle mechanic for the last 13 years I completely agree, go Japanese if you want something reliable, go European for clout, and way bigger and more frequent repair bills

[@erickouniakis5722]

That's exactly how it is. Aprilia has never been a reliable bike. I've been living in Europe the past 20 yrs. Nothing about Aprilia or any Italian bike is reliable. Besides the rediculous price tags. Used one's are a dime a dozen but nobody wants them in Europe.

[@derdude01]

I bought a new Aprilia Tuono Factory 3 years ago. No problems, lot of fun in the street, incredible performance in Race track.

[@icucode]

I don’t buy a bike on brand. I buy it on how it feels to ride 😂

[@YoloVib3s]

Finally some context on the GSXR hate but please don’t stop 😂😂😂

[@tntzimmerman9552]

I’ve had an 2010 and just got the new rsv4. Never had any issues with them. My friends have them too. They have had no issues. Just maintain them and ride on.

[@JG54206]

People may buy Ducati’s as status symbols… but that doesn’t take away from the fact that they’re quite often extremely, unapologetically raw and meant for riders who are the same way. They don’t care if you can’t handle the bike… that’s your problem. They usually come with the most serious track capabilities out of the box, and usually require a very skilled rider to get the most out of them. Japanese brands tend to build for the consumer market and make their bikes more user friendly. Ducati builds the bike they want it to be based on its design philosophy, which is often based around performance on a track. There’s a reason that a lot of people say Ducati’s only start to stretch their legs at 100mph. They’re pretty serious hardware, and as such they’re pretty expensive and often don’t compensate for your lack of capabilities compared to the machine. If you can’t extract the full performance from a Ducati, just keep it in the more mild engine mapping. It’s designed as a track weapon first, street cruiser second.

In the ADV world, there was a lot of initial fear with the Tuareg 660 but honestly is a pretty great biked across the board from a lot of folks in the forums and online groups

[@Jewellm83]

I really wanted a Tuono but I was coming from a lemon from another brand. The reputation for being unreliable lead me away from a Aprilia. Beautiful and impressive machines though.

[@drifterbingus]

Really wanted an RS660, but decided to save and get a Yamaha R7 instead. Good thing too because my insurance after my accident was fucking ludicrous, and I don't even know what it would have been if I got an Italian bike instead.

[@aeroman5239]

I didn't buy a Duc MTS V4 PP for the brand, I bought it because I wanted to retain sportbike handling & power without assuming the racetrack posture every time I ride it on the street.

[@bleepbloop8449]

I would habe to agree sadly. not only is it the "worst" sports bike brand ever, but also enduro/touring Adventure bike brand. the tuareg 660 is a great bike, and other than the big a on it there's nothing that screams aprillia, but it's not "there" yet. the 660 is not something people boast about, or even talk about in general. aprillia repair stations.. exist? I think? which shouldn't be something one needs to assume. so all in all... sadly I just have to agree here.

[@pvt.paula4423]

It was the same story with the new M3/M4 Everyone hated the look of the car, until some guys on KZbin said, it looks actually pretty cool and suddenly nearly everyone liked it.... That just shows us how manipulative people are

[@mrsmacksem5386]

Ive had a 2013 rsv4 for 8 years 24k on it. My stator went bad. Only issue is repair shops to work on it when i have to get my valves checked.

[@rikpward]

My Aprilia 660 Tuono Factory had 3 warranty claims in less than a year. I traded it and replaced it with an MT09, because I knew the Yamaha would work

[@nightwolf667z]

I wanted a Tuono but the fact i live at least 4 hours from any dealer turned me away from them since I know they tend to be fairly maintenance heavy. I'd still love one though.

[@clapclapscream]

Looks like the comments proved you wrong haha! 8 months later, my second comment, still no problems with my 09 shiver 750sl. I love the Aprilia brand. The only thing I don’t like is not having an Aprilia dealer near me anymore (in case it ever does need serious work while I own it)

[@johnriggs-d5v]

Yep. Turns out, when you are on your bike, you can’t see the name on the side or really even see what color it is. Mostly it’s how much you enjoy the ride and *if* it got you back home.

[@markyounts1685]

I have 32,253 on my Tuono with no problems and have never been stranded. It runs better then new and its been run hard I average 10 full track days a year running over 150 mph on every lap.

[@adam346]

like the idea that the Big 3 are infinitely reliable... while mostly true, the ones that do get a major issue sure as hell don't feel that anymore... probably feel even worse.

[@Theta_Pi]

I am an owner of a Dorsoduro 1200cc Aprilia. Zero problems, countless smiles & joy.

[@Ankithgarg]

The Yamaha R1 is the best bike in the litre class out there ...

[@dnatal09]

My once old man told me, buy what vehicle really wants you to buy, eventhough others will slander buying your choice

[@joeblow5037]

Which is sad....because there is NOTHING I would rather have than a Tuono. The sound is intoxicating. But our local BMW/Ducati/Aprilia in my city blows chunks on service.

[@jsnickle]

comment bait, and I'll bite. I've owned 4, from V2 Tuono, to V2 RSVR, to two RSV4's. Most reliable, best handling, best in class electronics, best sounding v4 (subjective), and less known... And I also own Ducati's and have owned Japanese bikes in the past as well. Nice Factory, BTW.
