[@windyrun7979]

A biker's life is not complete until they've ridden an aprilia V4 :)

[@daverobertson2162]

350 lc more like

[@iainian]

@@daverobertson2162 & a RD500LC

[@stephencallil6512]

Agreed they are brilliant

[@Harnosharn]

I agree with you all ! I have had the luck to ride an rd 350 LC once and also a V4 once and my God what really got me about the v4 was the braking power ! Never experienced a bike that can stop so well before! I ride a 990 smt ktm now but if I had an extra 4 k I think I'd buy a v4... a little bit unpractical tho haha

[@JazzRadioFfm]

In Germany, this bike is commonly known as "The Thunfisch" or "The Werksthunfisch" (tuna or factory tuna) and is widely considered the best naked bike inside (and probably outside) the man-known universe. The name is derived from a spoof translation of the word tuono (tonno) and most people call their tuono "Thunfisch." There is a video of the "Thunfisch Ausfahrt 2018" (tuna ride 2018) online, where 70 tuonos ride through Austrian streets. I highly recommend you introduce that name to the English audience ;D

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

You germans do make me laugh!

[@Poweredtwowheeler]

JazzRadioFfm Excellent name!

[@8Jacob2]

JazzRadioFfm In your neighbouring country (CZ) we call them the same way "tuňák" (read like: tooniack) - means "tunafish".. Very very very popular bike, as you say, probably the best naked!

[@leewatkeys9065]

And who said the Germans don’t have a sense of humour. Laughed all the way to the fishmongers 😂

[@nitronori3026]

Similar thing in Poland. Although I call my Gen 1 "Toadi" (from the Gummi Bears cartoon) :).

[@LambChopRides]

Wow about time 😎😎 think the rev limiter lights need adjusting higher up the range. And it is like a beefed up street triple good comparison. Great review

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes long over due this one - I'm a convert! Loved it....

[@TheFlyingJanner]

@@TheMissendenFlyer Seems the limiter was set at the low 'break in' level. Delivery is perfectly linear and is as strong at the limiter as it is at 7k. It's a train of an engine... If like me you are pre-programmed to V-Twin audio, its easy to shift too early on these. It just goes nuts from the point where you 'feel' you ought to click up (about 9k)

[@bram461]

Missing the best part of that engine by having the Rev limiter set so low. It doesn’t really get going until after 8k.

[@On2WheelswithDennis]

Lamb Chop Rides you sir were one of the reasons why I bought a tuono v4 again!!🤣👍

[@sleepindragon179]

Italian exotica. Like the man said its not a motorcycle its an event. The sound is superb, the power brings an instant smile of surprise and pleasure, the handling flatters you, it looks like it will kill you. When bikes bring all these attributes together they become more than the sum of their parts and take on an event like experience when ridden. Great stuff.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

100% agreed! ...all the same attributes of my Panigale incidentally...(but without the comfort)

[@snifflytooth]

I went to Switzerland with a mate on his Tuono, I rode my Versys. We were worried about the fuel range, to the point he carried a syphone kit, but in the end not a problem at all, in fact he managed to get 120 miles on one occasion. The noise in the tunnels... perfection, what every engine should sound like.

[@stuarthearn9890]

Tell that nice man not to quit his day job

[@LaJiahao]

best sounding bike in the world IMO

[@awdeveau]

I had the 2015 1000cc version and now the 2017. The 2015 was an awesome bike but the updates in just the 2 years are night and day. People always ask about reliability with Italian bikes and I can say I've had no mechanical issues at all. On the 2015 I had one of the headlight lense fogging up for some reason but was replaced under warranty and with the 2017 I have over 11k trouble free miles on it already. I'll agree the fuel range isn't the best but is only because when you ride one you can't help but twist that throttle. Smiles per gallon! Also with the smiles per gallon will come rear tires, this bike can chew a rear tire in a hurry, but its balanced out because the front spends the majority of its life in the air!

[@Dave.S.TT600]

Great video.. Phil seemed to ignore TMF's pet squirrel the whole time. I thought that was bordering on rude.

[@Eric_Broome]

The sound is so amazing, I'm a total ktm fan boy but this thing gets me extremely excited

[@leehudson6987]

Best bike I have ever had and I'v had Gsxr 1000 k5 , BMW s1000rr and the Tuono is the most fun with your pants on 🍻😎👍

[@letskeepearthgreen]

mate, which gloves were you using in this video? They're beautiful.

[@markrichardson7815]

Great bit of video again Mr flyer, and I'm enjoying the readers rides format. Have you thought about doing a readers wives for your next video..

[@johnfragos7660]

LOL best comment ever!!!!!

[@rockafella1690]

👍👍👍👍

[@fantastic1965]

An intentional (and characteristically clever witted) TMF conversion methinks !

[@kevinmill7965]

He should do as he rides like a wife

[@reubenhooft541]

I want one of these so badly. Beautiful bike.

[@pinkiewerewolf]

Those graphics! That engine! The whole package... naughty, very very naughty! 👍

[@ES44AC-2]

I love the sound of the v4 . It earns its name as the Thundercat . Thanks to the Gentlemen for letting us look at his machine.

[@johneastwood9540]

I thought you'd like the Tuono V4 when you finally got around to riding one TMF. I love mine, its true, you can burn through the fuel tanks capacity in short order, but if you ease the pressure on the throttle, 40 plus mpg is possible. I rode mine back up to Yorkshire from your neck of the woods when I first bought it and sticking to the speed limits it averaged 44 mpg.

[@roybatty2030]

I fitted bar risers on mine (from the aprilia shiva) which make the riding position more comfy for longer runs. No need to change any brake hoses etc. It’s a truly lovely bike.

[@pistolpete6321]

Great review! Rode 225 miles on mine yesterday and got 165 miles on a tank of fuel but it was on back country roads, no city riding. Also just hit 23,000 mile mark and loved every mile!

[@jamsxr]

PistolPete63 great effort with the mileage, have you had the valve clearances done?

[@pistolpete6321]

Jim 86 yes I’ve had 2, first at 10k before a long trip I was taking and second at 22k. First one all in spec, second one 2 were slightly out of spec.

[@steve-wu7jp]

Nice job👍 bikes are meant to be ridden. Every time I get a new bike a worry about a packing on the miles and eventually just say screw it😎

[@On2WheelswithDennis]

Nice review sir!! I’m absolutely in love with mine too!, but I’ve decided selling it to buy a Gsa again.. after living with it for 2 years and not having the allowance from the mss to have both bikes☹️ I’m just going to go back to practicality and hopefully live a bit longer including having my license.. absolutely amazing bike though!! Owned a few Aprilias in the past and this Tuono v4 is sure the best ever! Now I just hope the new 1250 Gsa comes out soon with a nice Black paintwork! Regards Dennis

[@orlandoducati]

It sound absolutely amazing

[@nimrod6603]

One of those bikes that is more than the sum of its parts😉👍🏻

[@zardportugal]

A proper video for a TOP CLASS machine, as usual. Never rode one but something tells me that I will love it. Cheers.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

You will!

[@Wheelo40]

I'm a big fan of the brand. I have a '16 Caponord 1200 Rally and it is fantastic. I'm hoping this super hot Tuono (TunaFish?) will bring some much deserved fame to Aprilia. Lord knows that their performance in MotoGP is not helping. Thanks for another great video! Keep up the good work! Greetings from Dallas, Texas.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Mark Austin from Texas - love that coincidence - do you know Paul Dallas from Austin? :0)

[@Ivan-cz1ql]

Tuono means thunder in Italian

[@nearlyretired6440]

80 Miles (approx 140km) out of a tank of fuel - only the Italians could think that was acceptable.

[@adambainbridge1047]

Just spent $5000 Aussie (£2750) on a full system akrapovic for my 959. It is amazing but sooo much money. That bike sounds just as good at low speeds

[@dalesharpy9197]

Cyclecruza and his horrible first ride experience with this bike brought me here.

[@robertwbeams9929]

Yes me too a bit worried about the TMF pet squirrel. Distracting. Reminds me of How tickled I am. Which gives away my age. Wow I've never harked after a naked, but this machine impressed. As a third bike in my Garage.

[@joeski4541]

But would you trade up from the Street Triple? 🤔

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Err, yes!

[@Hui9697]

Why are these called Naked. the only bit of plastic missing is a belly pan. High bars, to me that's not Naked. The Superduke R is actually a naked bike.

[@SJCB27]

Really liked the new "Reader's Rides" format. Well done Flyer; a breath of fresh air! One question though: Why do people pull straight into lane 2 on dual carriageways when there's no other traffic? PS: Think Phil's bike is cleaner than yours... HA!

[@mrbojangles4394]

Well done Phil and what a lovely bike. Really enjoyed that.

[@hudsonrilke]

Gorgeous. 80 miles and looking for a refuel would do my head in. Nice to see the wife’s lawnmower in shot.

[@andrewdok]

There's no way it's 80 miles. I've got a '17 and ripping it I still get 120 a tank, if I'm usiing it on the highway I can get up to 150miles a tank.

[@mrkoopsy]

120 miles until low fuel light on my RF

[@sk2283]

The guy has let paranoia get the better of him, I have a 2017 RF and you get over 100 miles before the fuel light even when pushing on. The newer bikes actually have a slightly larger fuel tank than the original V4’s, the tank is bigger than a lot of other sports & naked’s You can get 130+ miles if you’re steady

[@Z17xMachine]

That's my dream bike right there. Well I have like 5 dream bikes. I lied. I think I have 10 dream bikes!

[@leeengelsman1855]

Rich man's toy play thing nothing too practical.

[@Roger101Watson]

Amazing machine but that 80 odd mile range would drive me crazy. Constantly on the hunt for a fuel stop, it ain't quick when you're filling up and your mates are flying past you.

[@HelloJamesBond]

DeadHead It’s a massive shame about 80 mile range! Amazing bike but the fuel range and no gauge on top almost puts me off it! Sort it out Aprilia!

[@matb0w]

Tank range is about 120 miles and 25 miles max on reserve

[@MotoMark55]

My favourite part of your output TMF. Looking forward to seeing more of it. Would love to see you tickle something a bit older like a Ducati 996 or an early FireBlade 😉👍

[@loddude5706]

Good idea, a 'then & now' with things like a cable clutch Jota, Duke 851, GSXR1100R Slab, or even a rare H-D XLCR?

[@paulpartridge2674]

Style ,handling and power what a great bike . Credit to Phil for keeping it in tip top condition 👍

[@djbgatekeeper]

Awesome bike, beast mode appears to be the favoured choice 😉

[@Antmanmoto]

Sketchy overtake at 1:53 ???

[@gordonLP]

Very nice bike. PS - No white van men again, has there been an upturn to the economy in Buckinghamshire as they seemed to have upgraded to Volvo's?

but its not naked !! another thing i dont understand ...naked bikes with fairings.... im so old ...... 👍☮❤

Some great deals this time of year....just had to do it.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Congratulations!

[@iainian]

This bike requires the upmost respect when riding, arm wrenching power and sound track that WILL make you laugh wildly as you wind her throttle open . For a mere mortal like me this bike is lighting fast with sublime handling, watch your licence! “Bellisimo”

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I haven't yet no, but I am starting to talk direct with Kawasaki so you never know....

[@koppen89]

Do you think it's worth owning both this one and a Panigale of some sort? Are they different enough to justify it? Having a hard time here with decisions...

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Personally no - I have the Panigale because it looks fab, sounds great and is an occasion to ride - the Aprilia does all the same things...

[@philliprobertlawman2232]

Bit gun-shy of Aprilia, had a 1000 V4, nothing but troubles, plus expensive service and valve adjustment, but boy that 1100 is beautiful, I'll keep my SP for now😊

I have owned a V-twin and inline 4, but never driven a V-4 nor a 3 cylinder. How is the character on this tuono engine?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Smooooth....

[@staudio]

Beautiful bike. I owned t 2001 Aprilia Mille, 35,000 trouble free miles. Love my KTM but if I could have a 2nd bike the V4 Tuono would be high on the list....On a side note, great that you have guests on your video blogs now......

[@Harnosharn]

I'm.the same as you mate have a 990 smt and love it but would love to have that beast for rideouts in the summer.. I think I'd be banned tho because it's around 60 bhp up Ha bit of an animal

[@Pillokun]

I would rather see older more iconic or bikes that are modded/tinkered to be a more personal reflection of the rider not a stock modern run of the mill bike even if it is a very liked bike by the public.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Fair enough - have you got one to bring over?

[@Pillokun]

@@TheMissendenFlyer Nah, I had a couple of souped up bikes but now I am bike less. But that is what I think should be a thing, ie showing up something that is not a run of the mill bike so to speak.

I love that bike but 90miles to a tank ? 😳😳😬

[@SINIS0RSA]

Same mileage for 2018 Aprilia Shriver 900.. It's crazy isn't it..

[@Poweredtwowheeler]

Actually no. 120 before looking for fuel. That’s 2 hours riding at least. Ride it like a scooter (and you can) you will get 50 mpg so that’s 200 miles before refuel.

[@TheMatrixcube]

Poweredtwowheeler 120 is a bit more reasonable Thx for the info...

[@banarne71]

I usually fuel up at 200km. That’s when the light usually comes on. Makes about 240km on a tank unless I don’t gun it. 🍻😀🇸🇪🇬🇧

[@eddyquik]

I get about 120k before my fuel / reserve light goes on. I tend to keep it in lower gears though, because, torque.

Whilst learning to ride, the Bandit 1200 was THE naked to have. 20yrs on, the Werksthunfisch is one I'd love to hook #urwelcome ;)

[@assortedpov]

Phil, if you happen to see this (which realistically, you probably have better things to do than read KZbin comments but...) what are the rear indicators, are they the stock ones, did they come with the tail tidy or are they something you bought separately? My previous bike used to have ones which looked identical and I liked them, don't like the stock indicators on my MT07 and want to change them for something like those, kind of arrowhead shaped.

[@Poweredtwowheeler]

At last a review of the TV4. After owning many machines the Tuono is my biking Nirvana. As an influencer, TMF must secure a loan machine in order to inform the community about this superlative bike. Thanks to Phil for stepping up. I’m based in W London. I should like to message Phil in order to compare notes. Can you facilitate this?

My RAV4 RF has a USB socket to the left side of the dash, I thought the TUONO did as well ?

[@mp22222]

I don’t believe you mentioned anything about the rather stiff suspension (track oriented set-up), the heat emanating from the engine, handling characteristics (agility vs stability etc). A more detailed comparison with your Speed Triple (a bike I may purchase) would have been appropriate and helpful to understand its strengths. Didn’t get much from this review but I do enjoy your work overall. Cheers

aprilia, my favourite manufacturer! 🤗 I run a RS250 & a 750 Shiver & I really like the look of the new (possibly) RS660. Nice review, keep up the good work.

[@Gautam454]

Aprilia's reliability and lack of dealer support worries me. With a MT-10 I'd sleep sound at night. Other than that, magnificent bike.

[@sk2283]

You are living in the past buddy, Aprilia have excellent build quality and reliability - I have had 3 over the past 6 years without issues and know other owners who’ve had more with no issues - they are as good as any other European or Japanese bike

[@jamsxr]

You’re right to be worried, although all manufacturers experience issues, the Tuono’s are still experiencing valve clearance issues. I sold my 1100 due to reliability issues, but still hanker for another.

[@sk2283]

Look at other Superbike= BMW & Yamaha had gearbox issues, Honda have gearbox & electronic issues, Ducati V4 has had loads of problems & re-calls. You occasionally get one or 2 bikes from every manufacturer that may have a failure due to mass produced parts but they are generally one of the best most developed & polished bikes as they have been around 10 years now.

[@jamsxr]

I’m talking from recent personal experience. I’m also sad enough to spend lots of time on KTM, Ducati and Aprilia forums, having owned new bikes from all these manufacturers - the Aprilia forum has buy far the most posts on serious engine issues. Great bike but I would not own one out of warranty.

[@jamsxr]

It does seem the latest RSV4 with titanium valves has not had any reported clearance issues, from what I read it could be due to heat dissipation, it’s just a shame the Tuono has not received those updated engine components yet..

An absolute monster and a stunning bike to ride , I owned the original Tuono and tried one of these a while back . Still have my doubts that its a little overkill for road use though …. Sometimes less is more and a bike with more accessible power may be more satisfying long term ? … not a criticism just my experience.

Excellent video, thoroughly enjoyable. Love the noise from that exhaust!

[@FuglyPaul]

Great vid, you should blur the speedo

[@briansteele2723]

There should be an auto-blur setting on bikes like this for youtubers

[@sharpbends]

Wow spectacular bike, a little surprised about the range / fuel consumption seems pretty high given its got an 18 litre tank ?

[@Ou8well]

RIP up your license. Would be great on track though, must test one. ✌️

[@TheMissendenFlyer]
