I LOVE the RSV4’s, nothing makes me feel more talented than I actually am, and nothing stirs the bell end like the sound they produce. Love the vids on ALL your channels, keep up the good work sir.

[@siimkask14]

Lmao, stirs the bell end.

[@MrOggy96]

So glad you’re back… I’ve been struggling for a while and the only only time I can get out of my head is when I’m out riding. Your last video really helped me. It’s hard to imagine you’re not alone when you’re in a dark place, but seeing someone like you, with a common interest and having the exact same issues as me, really gave me some hope. Cheers 🍻

I think the most underrated thing about Aprilias are how much better their mirrors are than everyone else's.

[@alexo9jm]

You're so right about sound being integral to the enjoyment of your bike. I bought a ninja 400 back in 2018 and whilst the ride was great the sound just never made me feel alive even with an akra can. Last year 2021 I bought an Aprilia RS660 and despite both bikes being parallel twins the fact the RS660 is a bigger engine and 270 crank it just sounds incredible. Even the stock exhaust blows the ninja out of the park. I now have a full system underslung Mivv for it and it sounds unbelievable for a twin. The induction sound is fantastic as well. I still have the 400 for commuting as I am all bike but on the weekend the Aprilia always gets chosen now. I have owned an electric push bike since 2016 but couldn't see myself on a bigger electric bike unless I had to be. Sound really is king for me.

[@Kristofferheihei]

How loud is the mivv compared to stock? I have a tuono 660 factory (exact same engine as yours). I think the stock exhaust is fairly loud. Certainly makes a good sound, and it's as loud as the Fireblade i just had

[@alexo9jm]

@@Kristofferheihei The Mivv with the optional cat (goes inside can you cannot see it fitted) and outer baffle is louder than stock exhaust. Not by a staggering amount but louder. For me it is enough I have not tried without the baffle or cat yet. You get a deeper engine sound even with the cat and baffle fitted.

[@alexo9jm]

@@herniket I haven't had it tuned yet but ideally you should. I know from others with the underslung mivv that without the cat and baffle it will pop and bang repeatedly on deceleration without a tune. Basically it runs way too lean. With the cat and baffle it does not pop and bang at all but you should still get it tuned if you can.

[@iTxip]

@@herniket if you run the exhaust with cat you dont really need to tune. Its when you go full de-cat exhaust when you need to worry about tuning

[@colinbarber1957]

We’ll you’ve just confirmed why I’ve just sold my Aprilia Factory Tuono. It just encourages you to let rip. It came with the acropovic end can and sounded awesome (2018 model) only 1 speeding ticket, but it was only a matter of time before more would follow, either that or a bad crash. At 65, nothing looks worse than a coffin dodger on a hyper bike, so I’ve bought a new NC 750 X, you know what ? I like it. Head said Honda, heart said Aprilia, Don’t tell anybody, but I think I just grew up!

[@roflKartofflel]

If you like the V4 sound go with a Honda VFR800F (RC79/93) :) Less Power than the Aprilia, still V4 sound.

[@markrs59]

I love the no nonsense ramblings the Baron, pure brilliant 👍👍

[@jde9095]

How I missed posts on this channel, truly enjoyed. From walks to rides I am there man, thank you.

[@tomriley_bike]

Loving that you’re doing videos again Baron and you sound happy! So good to see/hear

[@sk2283]

Love the RSV4 ! I’m on my 4th one - sound amazing and they really do ride better at speed, easier to ride fast than most other sports bikes, smooth, makes you feel like you are on rails ! Awesome 😎

[@lambethlongshanks7990]

There's nothing like them!

[@theryanthomas]

Never searched up bikes. Somehow this was in my recommended. I do NOT regret clicking the video. Now I'm starting to see why my family are so into bikes. Terrific content, my guy :)

[@Patriiiiick]

I used to have the 2017 RF and I miss it so much, especially the sound. It was a bit too mad for the roads around here and a bit miserable doing the winter commute on it. But yeah, the '09 325i I replaced it with for a warmer and comfier commute will never give me even 10% of the smiles I got from it. I doubt i'll ever be in the position to own/afford something like it again but i'm just pleased I got to experience it for a couple of years.

[@Lew699]

I honestly watched the video where you put the arrow exhaust on , and tested it on the dyno like 17 times , sounds to good! And im glad ur back making videos on this channel!

[@alfaking456]

A proper naughty ride Chris.. to hell with the speed limits! Thanks for the ride along mate!

[@cramalnig]

I agree ... What a symphony of sound! My favourite was the Norton TT, which of course used your same Aprilia engine a few years ago, and whatever exhaust they'd made for it - by jeez, you could hear it miles away coming around the course. Amazing. It's great to see how a sound can make so many people smile as it zoomed past. My other favourite is the R1 and it's crossplane crank, a very strong thrumming sound..

[@ShweetPete]

This episode harkens back to the golden era from 6 years ago. Your tone, emotion, discussion - it all feels like *you*. I'm just so glad to hear from you again. I want you to express yourself in the fullest way while knowing that we're just here because you're a hell of a person to hang out with. I haven't touched my bikes in years. Today after catching up, I've found myself looking at AGV Pista's again! HAH

[@brdpit]

These are the videos I love! Thank you for uploading; glad you’re doing good!

[@samichimaru9229]

i'm glad to see you're still going strong, i think i started watching your videos 10/11 years ago, also the best quality sticker i've ever purchased

[@jassingh787]

RSV4 and R1 .. two of the best sounding bikes .. specially with aftermarket exhaust.

[@Rmmmmmmmmmmk]

Ehhh, include the triumph 675 triple in that list and I’ll agree lol

[@Dannyyzeee]

id say the crossplane r1 takes the cake, but these are close second in sound

[@andycskis]

So pleased you are feeling more positive and getting the BvG channel back up and running!

[@arturobugaoan5615]

Great to see you back, big fan of the channel and I'm sure its not easy but keep the stuff coming, we love it all. Ive ridden bikes all my life but right now I need my bike more than ever.Top stuff.

[@verdeboyo]

I absolutely love the RSV4. Sound, performance and looks are the best! Wasted on the King's highways, but take it to a track where it belongs and you will have a permanent smile for days after, you know, that 'scared as fook' happy face you have after gettin' off the scariest ride at Alton Towers, but can't wait to get out for another go!

[@MrJc1337]

It looks and sounds absolutely incredible. Glad to see you again! Have a great one mate.

[@Defender3d]

What an awesome sound. Who wouldn't enjoy that. Good to see you having some fun.

[@Davidatlw]

Thank you for the ride. Lovely bike. It sounded as if you said no 'blippers'. I have a '13 Factory and it has upshift only...so I would think yours would at least have that if not also downshift. You are correct. Most entertaining fun. All I've done to mine was change the 16 to a 15...need that for any kind of stop and go riding. I rode mine to work until retiring 2 years ago. Also put a full Akrapovic exhaust...and frame/axle sliders. No point in upgrading for more power when this one can still make me smile anytime I feel like it.

[@BaronVonGrumble]

A blipper is downshifting, quickshifter is up - generally speaking. Cable throttle bikes don't tend to be able to easily fit blippers.

[@lonpfrb]

​@@BaronVonGrumble Perhaps the slipper clutch makes the Blipper less important?

[@saintetienne755]

Another pointless yet eminently brilliant vlog! So glad you're back

[@EzyR1der]

Worth the money for the noise alone, I miss my Tuono V4 really regret selling it. Great stuff Chris.

[@Tsoglani55]

Recently bought a 19 Tuono Factory, cant wait to put a proper exhaust on it. The noises this thing makes are addictive.

I just have to get out and get the blood flowing and not let my mind Sabatoge myself. Thank You

[@arrow0872]

It looks like a slightly revised bracket for the hydraulic reservoir could stop it from rubbing on the clocks. This bike sounds ace but I’d have preffered a quiter slip-on would be possibly better to experience higher revs more often without getting too much attention…

[@scrubscriber4911]

Disappointment at not sharing your vulnerable side compensated by the V4 through that Arrow trumpet 🎺, what a fantastic sound. BMEP aim that engine is off the scale; brake mean effective pressure, which is why it is such a great motor. (LJK Setright CAR magazine from 1980’s to read about BMEP).

[@choco_french_baguette2621]

I freaking love the color of your gear look so cool

[@nistra5703]

Oh man the sound is lovely

[@Kristofferheihei]

I really want one of these bikes, but the highest speed you can go where I live is 80km/h :( So I sold my Fireblade as 1000cc bikes just didn't make any sense. Jail time comes to Quick. Bought the new Tuono 660 factory. At least I'm well in to 3rd gear on that at the same speed that the Fireblade finished 1st gear. Honestly the Tuono is just the most fun I've had on a bike. Also the engine sounds great. I want a V4 but I have nowhere to use the power, nearest track is an 8 hour+ drive away. I've come to the conclusion that the Tuono 660 Factory must be the best road bike I can have overall. For me at least :) Keep up the good work Chris 👍 really nice bike

[@wheelieking333]

every bike i buy the first thing i do is change the exhaust, both my s1000 and s1000rx had sc projects fitted. sounded amazing, just fitted one to my gs, love it

[@hughraymond6318]

Watch out for the big bump coming out of Four Marks down the hill before the rh bend (when you said that the suspension was hard)!! …….Lovely sound

[@CarletonJohnson]

I owned a tuono v4 with Austin Racing exhaust for a little while, the sound was so fackin glorious on full chat and on the quickshift 🥵🥵🥵

[@NaziHampster]

The only thing that wont let me buy one these, is the exhaust sound of my 2001 Daytona 955i TOR high level pipe. The most intoxicating motorcycle sound ever. I forgive it everything that it may lack in comparison just for that.

[@TheToothlrss]

@@FirstLast-tx3yj Idk how but. I have ridden this bike once and it was so fcking quick. I don't know how to explain it. its good in all term like acceleration top speed cornering etc². The power it delivered while throttling is just insane. I've also ride the S1k (Not hp4) It is fast but not as insane as Rsv4 (which was stock) 💀

[@FirstLast-tx3yj]

@@TheToothlrss the rsv4 is underated in my opinion From an engineering point of view bore spacing is so big that a 1300cc engine withought stroking is possible But it is very disappointing that apprilia does not use finger followers on the cams. This will improve power and more importantly long term valvetrain reliability

[@NoBrakes23]

I've always been a fan of v-twins. 90 degrees, 60 degrees, whatever. I love them. So I wasn't sure how I would feel about a v4, when I acquired a Honda VFR800. My god, with a decent exhaust, it's like a chorus of v-twins. I hate how heavy it is, but I love the way it sounds. Probably going for something light and smol engined for the next bike, but I'll always love the sound of a v4.

[@sprockets_shafts]

I agree…the noise these make is addictive and fabtastic…I prefer the tuono for the road which I had. I am 6ft and made myself fit but wish they were slightly bigger. I would still have one if they were.

Don't wait for things to warm up (unless there are cold throttle issues) maximum cam wear is at tickover and you are prolonging the period when the engine is cold dumping excess fuel into the cylinders.

This bike should be called Giorgio by moroder (Daft Punk) because of your intro.. and the intro to the song.. “I wanted to do an album with the sounds of the fifties The sounds of the sixties, of the seventies And then have a sound of the future And I thought "Wait a second I know the synthesizer, why don't I use the synthesizer Which is the sound of the future" Sounds like you put it trough a synthesizer with all the changes. 🥰
