awesome review, I want it as my first bike ever and for sure im going to get it thanks for this video congrats!

[@ridertechpt]

It's an awesome bike, take it easy in the beginning and don't turn off the rider aids, it will help you learn!

[@Smaz0n3]

@@ridertechpt you recommend me this bike as a first bike?

[@ridertechpt]

@@Smaz0n3 If you have experience in other bikes or you are taking the A license and you take it very slow it's ok, but this is very expensive to drop and you will drop your first bike. If you have no experience get something different first, this is a better second bike.

[@Zi9makin9]

Amazing review, so detailed and really tells us stuff you could only notice after owning it for a long time, great job!! Now I want one Dx

[@ridertechpt]

Thanks a lot! If you hurry you may still find some stock from last year, as soon as those are gone the deals will be worse, it's an awesome bike to own, you just need to understand its quirks.

[@dariomladenovski7047]

god damn Aprilia, this is the best looking bike I've ever seen in my life

[@SerhiiKlymenko-if3go]

Image quality is pretty good. Content is amazing and gives a lot of information. The only thing is that nowadays avarage user is quite spoiled with different content.... Here are some things I noticed, it might help you improve: Small issues with sound - there are some interference which changes voice in a bad way. Also, it'd be good to invest more time into video editing. At least remove parts when you are thinking what to say or saying some filler words. Hopefully, these comments will help you create even better content! You are doing an amazing work, continue to do it and improve!

[@ridertechpt]

Thank you very much for the feedback, I'm an amateur in editing, and this is really valuable feedback. The sound interference you mention is my rode wireless go clipping, it's something that happens a lot and I've been changing placements to improve this, in this vídeo I used post processing to clean it up. I will work on my edit skills.

[@fullnoeleko]

Thanks a lot for this great and interresting revieuw. I have the Tuono Factory 2022 model. 12.500 Km so far. For some troubles I have the same as yours, as the neutral problem. For the suspension, I things there are different on the Tuono Factory, fully adjustable, and I made the correction from the base model, and happy with it. Fortunately, till know no abnormal comsuption of oil, even in hard driving style, I just check quite often, in case of. To fill the gaz-tank, I can fill till 13 liters, If I continue filling slowly. And depending how I drive , I can make 210-230 km. I notice that If it's not commuting journeys, but an one bigger journey, it can go till 250-270 km, even with hard driving style. It seems that depending of the years, or even the bike, there is different troubles, but defionitively, less troubles or quite none from 2022 model. Thanks a lot for your video.

Superbe moto. Très bon choix 👍 ride safe.

[@dutch_martyr]

You are so right about not having neutral. I have a 2022 RS 660 and neutral is impossible. I cant even find it when I reach down and use my hand. Not a deal breaker tho, I still love the bike

[@ridertechpt]

It's an Italian thing, everyone I talked to with an Italian bike said something similar.

[@aviator-kn8zq]

nicely done man, comprehensive facts not found in other owners. Brown pants comment LOL Don't you think the 3rd year models onwards more reliable than before and why is it drinking more oil compared to a R7 ?

[@ridertechpt]

I think the bike is pretty much locked down, it will probably take a revision to change anything at this point, and any future recall may be due to some component that manages to sneak by the quality control. So if you want one, get it, it will not get more reliable, and if you are on top of things you will probably enjoy it a lot. The engine consuming oil, I've talked to the mechanics at the dealer, and the consensus is that it's a quirk of the engine, ridden hard it will eat oil, all bikes do it, but this one seems to be a little more extreme, I've notice that engine braking adds to the consumption so I turned mine down.

[@aviator-kn8zq]

@@ridertechpt nice so beginners can rely on the brakes then lol, get learned. What your individual mode setup n you should flash your RS

[@ridertechpt]

I can't do power mods while on warranty (local warranty laws suck), we also have some pretty dumb laws about mods so I will probably leave it stock and if I want power I will change bikes to something more powerful. In individual mode, I have abs at 2, ATW on, TC at 3(I think it goes to 7 not sure, it's one below dynamic), power max and engine brake in the minimum, since I ride on the road I like to keep the safety net of the atw and abs at 2 to keep always all the wheels on the ground even when I'm being a squid. About the brakes, they are really good and although I don't show speed in my videos you can see me braking hard because every sudden deceleration will activate hazards automatically so you can look at the dash in most of my fun curve videos and see it flashing.

[@emilebrands3743]

Do you have the standard exhaust or the akrapovic one that you can order with the bike as an extra?

[@ridertechpt]

The bike has the stock exhaust, IMO you don't need to change it to sound better.

[@Yasin.S1R]

👍

[@BrunoDomingues-cy8jw]

Tens rebound no amortecedor traseiro ! E na minha consigo andar tranquilo nos 4,8 no dia a dia mas sim a puxar sobe sempre

[@ridertechpt]

Obrigado pela info, estava convencido que não. Edit: pela conversa que tive no stand percebi que ando muito de punho a fundo e o consumo vem daí.

[@cman1406]

I noticed that i want to skip big parts of the Video. Its kinda boring and empty.

[@ridertechpt]

This kind of videos always are, you should have chapters to skip to what you want to check about. Thank you for the feedback

[@dariomladenovski7047]

​​@@ridertechpt yeah the video is too long, maybe keep it 15-20 minutes because peoples attention span today is like a goldfish
