I'm on a similar journey FZ10 to the Superduke and now I'm looking at what's next I rode the BMW when shopping the fz10 and it's what I would consider a perfect bike and I think that makes it a little bland in comparison to the others and the dealer support and warranty is absolutely phenomenal. Much better than KTM especially here in Vegas but that new Tuono may be the one.

Hello Duke! Congrats on the new bike my friend. I will be joining you on the s1000r adventure as I sold my 2017 Aprilia TuonoRR. It was too much for a daily ride in the city which is 90%-95% of all my riding. It was over kill. I enjoyed it & loved the bike but I can't have multiple motorcycles or I'd have kept the monster that is the TuonoRR. I took the 2017 s1000r out for a test ride & holly mother of God it's got power at call. Smooth as butter at low speeds (below 3,000 rpm) and the quick shifter & down auto-blipper is magical. The no rebound suspension is the coolest thing I've experienced. A great motorcycle that fits all the needs and has buckets of power & torque to burn. That is more than enough power for people that don't ride with sponsorship leathers ;). Respect to you mate.

I farkled mine with Rizoma, Corbin, carbon fiber and S1000RR parts that fit too, like the tank cover sections (you may want to check compatible pieces before you spend too much on aftermarket). I hope the previous owner had all the minor glitches warranty work done. Cheers!

What warranty glitches did you need to have done? I will definitely check on parts compatibility! Thanks :)
@Spectolux6 жыл бұрын
There were a couple I can think of and it was determined by the VIN and where they were sold. Some people had some sort of valves problem (I didn't, although my dealer checked for me anyway.). Another recall was for the fairing connection in front. At high speed, some broke free. My fairing did while I was rolling down the highway doing about.....well, fast...and the left side broke loose . If it wouldn't have been for my Wunderlich slider on that side, it would have blown off. There was a designated fix issued by BMW involving a more secure attachment and I had that done. The fix works. I would check with the guy that sold the bike to you or reference the records from his maintenance history or his mechanic (?).

Hi Duke I 'm. Doubting between the rsv4 factory aprc of 2013 s1000r sportpack and the the tuono 1000 2014. They come all at the pricetag of 9000 euro. Except the rsv4 for 9250. You have significant some experience of the 3 bikes. Which would you pick. I had a hypermotard 1100 and I felt it was underpowered and loud at highway speeds. They say that the s1000r revs to high, read noise comparing to the actual speed. That is what I really don't 'tlike in a motorcycle? Is that the case.? Hope that you can give some fb on that.

This is so ironic! Your video on the 2017 Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 RR was a big influence on me deciding to begin the process of trading in my 2014 S1000R for the Aprilia! Would you still say the Aprilia is the better bike, money aside? The Aprilia has the up and down shifter plus that TFT Display! What are you thoughts? Love your videos!
@DukeOfDC6 жыл бұрын
First off, thank you for the positive vibes! Always special to hear that people love my channel! It's a very difficult question you ask regarding with bike is "better". In my opinion the NEW 2017 Aprilia Tuono is a better raw super naked sports bike than any year S1000R. I think someone who rips it in the twisties or frequents the racetrack would agree, however I do strongly believe that s1000R is a better daily commuter/all around bike. The DDC, and smoothness of the inline 4 make it that way for me. The sound, raw power, and character of the V4 make the Tuono very very special though. All in all, they both do what they do incredibly well.
@ajsdirtbiker72646 жыл бұрын
DukeOfDC Thank you for your response! Yes, Better is not fair to ask. Every bike has its pros and cons as well as each bike is better suited for certain types of riding. The Tuono just seems to shift smother, in videos, and I would really like to have the autoblipping downshifter. What's your opinion on the way the two bikes shift both with the autoshifters and manually. My S1000R is a bit clunky in both areas. Thanks again!
@DukeOfDC6 жыл бұрын
+ajs dirtbiker from what I’ve experienced thus far, the s1000r quickshifter is very smooth. Rev matching for downshifts takes a bit of practice with the responsiveness of the inline 4 but over time I’m not to concerned with it. The V4 is incredibly smooth with quickshifter, autoblipper, and manual shifting. Have you been able to take on for a test ride yet?

DukeOfDC I've heard so many innuendo's that I catch them subconsciously 😉 by the way love the bike but why did you choose the s1000r over the s1000rr

Comfort, cost up front, cost over time. Other than that I love the RR

DukeOfDC Makes sense, love your video man. Btw I'm thinking of either getting a 07 r6 or a 09 r1 my first bike because why the hell not, do you have any other recommendations for a good city bike that can be turned into a track bike later.

Thanks for the positive vibes man!! Dang, those are not great first bike choices lol. If anything I would go with GSXR's if you've got your heart set on a 600/1000 since they're generally more forgiving/smoother.
