It doesn’t need balancer shafts for less vibration,the engine is balanced.my 2020 RR was the same, bars felt buzzy wile riding and numb, fingers galore. Pop it in rain mode or just back off compression damping to min Which achieves the same thing and then all is then well.👍👍🏍️

210hp in 199kg. That is the most power to weight ratio in a bike. Reminds me of one of those giant Gundam robots with the wings and colors though

Astonishing machine and love all of Chris' vids, especially when he drags tin tops. But, having previously owned an S1000RR and S1000R, I know how troublesome BMW sports bikes can be. I have little doubt that there'll be loads of people wanting to own one of these.

i would be concerned it would not give me the stability that i now want from a super naked. i had an s1000r and then went to the aprilia tuono factory with the 2.0 suspension and the tuono is rock solid in comparison. be nice to have a shot to see

[@MrAndrew1953]

A bit like KTM - there’s the mental road legal version, then the slightly less mental adventure and GT versions. Thing is if you’ve got the dish, it’s there which is quite remarkable. A manufacturer who says, you want it, we can build it. It would be a good idea to upgrade your riding skills at a track riding school first.

[@lordgibbness]

Great bike. I doubt many people would get over 12k rpms on the road, in which case you may as well buy the s1000r :)

[@bella_testastretta]

Not having a separate taillight is definitely quirky lol. I mean if looked sick like panigale to begin with then it would be a huge miss but if it was like the $20 autozone light in the GS1250s then I guess not having one is even better haha

[@biker_marinator5696]

Are there any bigger performance difference in the real world between a Tuono V4 and M1000R? I don't think so, but would like to hear your opinion.

[@Fearless154]

I guess m1000r is pretty similar to StreetFighter v4 in terms of performance. If that's the case, I own a 2017 Tuono 1100 factory and a friend owns a 2020 Streetfighter v4, and the difference is noticeable; on the straights, it flies by like I'm standing still, and he is 5 kg heavier than me. In my opinion, the S1000R already has a much better chassis and electronics than the Tuono 1100; the issue was a kind of lackluster engine.

[@biker_marinator5696]

@@Fearless154 I own a Tuono v4 2022 and a friend owns a Panigale v4. When we race 80-250km/h, my Tuono is 3-4 bikes ahead up to 230, then he flys be like a rocket.

2 things preventing me from getting this bike 1- even if you can afford it from savings, you'd still need to pay a ton for maintenance and spare parts. 2- such a perfect bike yould definetly be a daily rider, which probably will send you to your grave early, although the power delivery is smooth, it's still a 210hp bike
