Can the Aprilia Tuono Keep Up With An RSV4? (Full Comparison)

[@Seale-en2fp]

I’ve the 2021 standard Tuono and I just got the 2021 race map and Akrapovic carbon exhaust installed and it’s transformed the bike. The noise it makes with the baffle out is savage and the sound it makes when you change gear with the quickshifter is unbelievable. Best sounding bike I’ve ever had.

[@RobertKehl]

Nice. My friends got the 2021 Tuono and I have the 2021 1290r. His is stock too. He had the 2018 tuned with Akra can. There’s not a better sounding bike out there when you uncork it.

[@garystewart409]

I own both the 2021 Tuono and RSV4. They are the same in a good way, but they are also different in a good way. That motor..... I can't get enough. The higher bars on the Tuono, smaller fairing and different power delivery create a different experience. Other than that, it's just really cool to have them both....

@@rohansapha1608 it really depends on the person, not just the height. You need to try one in real life. I was pretty comfortable on the RSV but my i started feeling my wrists fast. The tuono felt great but a bit too straight, i would need to lower the bars for a more aggressive feel personally at 6 foot

[@dnast01]

I have 2019 Tuono and adding race map and pipe which has been mapped at factory is a must. Not just the sound or power. It actually makes everything smoother in terms of power delivery. And finally that sound makes me smile every time!

[@Claimjumper55]

I agree completely. I also own a 2019 Tuono Factory with the race ecu and Akropovic pipe. They made a huge difference to power delivery, sound and weight. I dropped 10.25 lbs off the bike with the upgrade.

And don’t think you can just let a gas station pass by to go to the next one when the fuel light turns on! On my 2018 RR I basically have like a gallon or less once that light turns on. Already ran it out of gas when I first got it (luckily I was literally able to coast it into the gas station)!

[@shawnbeck1972]

I just bought the 2021 Tuono Factory. Absolutely love this bike. Chose it over the Ducati Street Fighter, Triumph Speed Triple RS, and the BMW S1000R . Best decision ever. So much low end grunt and holds the corners so well. The only down side is the wind pressure on any speeds above 90 are horrible. Had it up to 146mph and it was brutal lol. You don't need to add an exhaust, just unhook the cables from the exhaust flapper and the sound is much better.

[@amarmrad1286]

I did the same ktm and triumph with carbon wheels was also very very good ....closer than any other bike to the ....tuono

[@verdeboyo]

Nice one lads!! I think the Tuono was always a slightly toned down version of the savage RSV4, all generations having less HP than the 'full fairing RSV4s. Yeah looks like the peg positions is very much the same across the model range. In a nutshell, whether it's 175hp or 201hp or even 217hp of the 2021, the RSV4 motor is the best of all bikes out there. I have the 186hp 2014 RSV4 Factory, tricked up pretty much to the top and I have to say the sound and performance on track is better than anything else I've ever ridden. I would not ride any other bike. I absolutely love my Factory. To round up the Aprilia RSV4 in four words 'race bike with lights'

Unless two riders of completely different weight are riding hard ( track) and need to adjust the suspension drastically, often or you really are gonna put bags on it and tour- I say cheapest one you can find wins.

2021 Tuono V4 1100 - base model then. Thats what I bought.

[@Love4boost]

The only reason I’d say there’s a difference between the RSV4 and Tuono is that I’d ride the Tuono and I wouldn’t the RSV4. I just can’t do the tank planking. I’m curious if the roll races comes down to the race ecu? I’ve heard there’s a delay with the throttle and that it restricts power in the first two gears. That could be why the RSV4 looks like it’s getting shot out of a cannon every time.

[@shawnlack1527]

The 21’ RSV4 makes 209whp after flash/Tune where the Tuono makes 178whp after tune

[@jacobhersek6546]

It comes down to Spite not being a good rider. Whichever bike Yammie is on always wins unless they are comparing bikes that aren't anywhere close. Whenever they have bikes that are closer in power whichever one Spite is on is going to lose because he's not a good rider.

You guys gotta stop following the "categories" of motorcycle, i.e., sport bike, naked, sport tourer, cruiser. etc., and get creative. A turbo-Hayabusa is boring. I have a long-distance touring high-powered sportbike. Started with a Tuono. Found an extra rear seat in a junkyard. Bought that seat and used it as the platform for a custom welded frame to mount two Givi side bags and a top box. (Yes, this is a one-person motorcycle now. Took the rear footpegs off.) Added an aftermarket USB port to power the GPS held in a RAM handlebar mount. Added an SW-Motech tank ring with an Ion tank bag. Taller windscreen. I now have a 175 HP torque monster tourer that, even with two full 36-liter Givi bags and a custom-designed top box that used to be a Harbor Freight copy of a pelican case, will tangle with anything in the twisties. This bike is good for long trips, all to the musical tune of that wicked V4 exhaust note. Think outside the box, guys! Nobody makes the motorcycle you want - build your own! (And start with a Tuono.) For the "yeah but Italian reliability blah blah blah..." I own three Aprilias, and the fourth (Tuareg 660) is arriving next month. 2008 with 30,000 miles, 2015 with 20,000 miles, and a 2019 with 10,000 miles, and not a single problem with any of them.

There are several differences between the motor that is not about the cc, RSV4 has secondary injectors, Tuono doesn't, the air box design is different, compression ratio is different, cams are different. Transmission ratio is different. Yes I own both an RSV4 RF and a Tuono Factory and yes the Tuono still kicks a lot of ass on the track.
