Aprilia Tuono V4 Factory | Isle of Man |

Join us for a spin around the Isle of Man. This was a little family trip to check out these famous roads.
We also visited the TT Museum whilst we were here, which was actually pretty cool.
It was a fairly tame pace over the mountain (we were on holiday after all), but it was still great fun. Conditions were less than ideal, damp patches, and possibly some oil made for sketchy grip levels... (The Manx GP had just finished, so maybe that didn’t help).
All in all, it was a great trip😁
Cheers

I assume those were your brothers and the old timer? Man it seems so much better to visit after all the racing. You have all the roads to yourself? You should've just come with me bruv XD.

[@tankslapmoto9999]

Yeah, my two brothers and my old man. It wasn't crazy busy like I'd imagine it would be at the TT, you could definitely get a clear(ish) run over the mountain. If you ever go again let me know, I will definitely come along.

Beast of a bike, hopefully next year I’ll be over there on mine! I presume you have AWC off? I have mine on 1 and the front stays pretty firmly on the ground.

[@tankslapmoto9999]

It is a beast for sure, the Isle of Man is definitely a special place to ride with all of the history, although I actually think that the roads are better in Wales (probably not a fair comparison given how small the Isle of Man is)

Looked like a Laverda Jota to me.

[@tankslapmoto9999]

Oh that's an interesting one, I hadn't thought of that. It could well have been a Laverda Jota, Italian 3 cylinder👍

Any regrets now that it is gone?

[@tankslapmoto9999]

No regrets (yet😄). It was a great bike, but I think the middle weight segment might be more enjoyable for me on the road. The Tuono could be a bit intense when you start winding it out on the smaller roads, the middle weight bikes are generally a bit less serious and more playful at lower speeds (for me)

@@tankslapmoto9999 Agreed - my brain says MT-09 or Tuono 660, but my heart says V4! The sound & feel of the V4 is sublime!
