Episode 5: Aprilia Tuono V4 APRC Test

We take Aprilia's Tuono V4 through its paces on the Long Tom pass in Mpumalanga.

This review is just outstanding!! This very one is what pretty much convinced me to take the plunge and buy a Tuono V4, 3 years later I still love it to pieces!! :)

[@HeartFilledHatred]

Guys, in Italian Tuono means Thunder, not lightning.

[@bclaydon1]

This is the review I was looking for. Well explained, great way to show the bike off, and spoke to the subjects I was interested in. This is a great way to interview a bike.

[@RoadcraftNottingham]

This is how I try to explain this bike to people, you captured it perfectly. Oh, it means Thunder by the way ;-). Superb write up, thanks. Mine will bepainted white with a RSV tail verrrry soon!

[@stormriderST]

Great review. Actually, in Italian, Tuono means 'thunder', not lightning ;)

[@bke008]

umm best bike show on the internet. how come nobody knows about you guys?! keep on doing what you guys are doing!!!

[@anderssjogren]

Great video! Thx! I test-drove one the other weak and instantly fell in love. Other bikes that I also tested the same weekend, such as Z800, street triple, speed triple, and the GSR750 are totally void of charisma and power in comparison.

[@neilcollins84]

Cannot understand why their is not more of these on the road, this is without dowt the best bike on the road , its just great on the twisty roads no one will pass you when your riding an Aprilia V4 Tuono in Track mode.......

[@pasiwittmann]

Neil Collins Do you own a Tuono? Or did you owned one?

[@brianrg1]

Great Clip!!! This bike is a beast.

[@deanzekis]

I also love my tuono. It's so much fun to ride. Carbon fibre pipe. Sound even better. Dorsodura aluminum mirrors upgrade. Rad guard, radiator protector. As well.

[@sgtunix]

Great review once again!

Very nice bike, very nice scenery, nice video, thanks!!! :-))

[@tman736]

[@R8pilot]

Been riding one in Ireland for the last couple of months...super machine but killer hard suspension for our bumpy back roads is the only downside! ....soon to be sorted though.

[@klauss4254]

...i love this Video

[@klauss4254]

thank you...Tuono...great...

[@davelafrusta8102]

I love this video! and i have that Tuono!!

[@MuhButtsBeenWiped]

DaVe La FrUsTa how much do u ride and have u had a mechanical isues or has the bike been reliable?

[@viettran2803]

[@Angstvormirr]

Have the 03 version it is fun, mite have to test ride one of these :)

[@jehovawreggeles3934]

witch Model exactly?Tuono 4VR 2012????Ist the 2014 better/faster???Thanks 4 youre answer!!!

[@TheKasperlkopf]

tuono means thunder not lightning ;)

[@MuhButtsBeenWiped]

Mike F damn English..

[@georgemadramootoo9793]

Based on the fact that the Aprillia is a premium superbike, depending on the condition of the both bikes it would have been a decent trade. R6s are a dime a dozen, but an RSV4 is nothing to sneeze at.

[@borkertan]

we are waiting new test video

[@turbo311]

Headlights don't turn on with ignition???

[@40yard4and25]

I'm planning to purchase this one.

[@NZ2STROKE]

Its THUNDER not lightening!

[@jerryx2000]

leave the Albino alone

[@Kurventiger]

couldn't agree more!!!!!!!!!!!

[@constantineeliadis465]

Most entertaining review. Did you notice any annoying heat from the engine? Sorry I'm late to the party. Thx!

[@Benlunt1]

gettin this soon!

[@ianroberts8171]

Funny that. Google translate says Tuono is Italian for thunder. Mrspatcat seems so certain though! Fulmine is lightning. According to the translator.

[@mathewdurrans1151]

Presenter / producer here, and oh yes, do I feel like a chump. One of those doh! moments when I said 'thunder' and saw it during editing - a sign of creeping senility.

[@SoulDaddy33]

Thunder or lightning ... hey, you can't have one without the other, can you??

[@mrSpatcat]

Tuono is Italian for thunder, not lightning.

[@sdeary1]

love the bike but im jot a fan of the healights, remind me of a mantis or some other insect

[@dristo8009]

I BOUGHT ONE !!!! :)

[@dgreer8453]

Nice seeing another old fart racing around on a sport bike! ;)

[@w0ut3rtj3]

Lol I used to think tuono = tuna. Would be a strange name for a bike now I think of it though.

[@ConfirmedPatriot]

Nearest dealer 150 miles away from me = no Aprilia....

[@MX-Mug]

Great bike but the early V4’s have a tendency of chewing their gearbox for fun.

[@poisedonis]

Man I'd be worried about hitting Lions crossing the road at those speeds

[@LiangHuBBB]

a friend of mine traded his r6 2013 for a used Aprilia Tuono V4r APRC 2012 and even paid 3500$ extra not rly sure whether this was a good decision oh well it was his choice

[@QuantumQ80]

Very interesting since I am doing the exact same thing! Exact same model years too!

[@NZ2STROKE]

LiangHuBBB best thing he could have done!

[@aljosaskrabelj8412]

LiangHuBBB Sure it is. He swapped from "angry mouse" to "lion with a haircut". What is not to like?

[@SanandanDA]

I'm gonna put a turbo or a supercharger on mine!

[@DukeOfTwist]

Did you thou?

[@gabrielnastase1198]

That means Thunder

[@sanderjoosten3254]

Everybody mentioned that a few years ago.. The fuck you wanna say it again smartpants..

[@mhks68]

Egg yolk for nads n plums to help with the set up of the stiff one eye.

[@rogersliu1200]

why i think it is so ugly,,,,,,Is it a Italian bike ? Why it looks so different
