[@matthewpetrovic4503]

My 2 cents on the electrical issues you had early on is that the battery connection issue was the whole problem. Being a Volvo tech I can say I've experienced vehicles with sensitive electrical components do all sorts of crazy shit if a battery connection is loose or if the sytem voltage gets below 12volts. It's amazing what problems a bad connection can cause in an electrical system

[@CycleCruza]

idk, could be but I doubt it. Whatever it was the bike has been fine ever since. I had the bike serviced by the Aprilia dealership I bought it from before I even took possession of it. I was able to put in a dispute with my credit card company and I got my money back for the service.

I'm putting the Akra racing exhaust and race ECU on it next week. My dealers say they can get parts pretty quickly and I don't care about LED headlights (I don't ride at night). But hey, you get what's right for you.

Aprilia is weird when it comes to updating their bikes. That put on all of the latest electronics but fail to update little things like LED headlights and a fuel gauge, also their designs are a bit outdated as well. However, this bike is a sick bike to ride, a beast that sounds like a MotoGP bike.

[@stevejames3292]

I can understand your lack of trust. Aprilia electronics are known to be problematic and on older models ECUs and Imobilizers aren't available anymore. Immobilizer issues are legendary but you can by pass it so ultimately not as big an issue as it could be. I have a 04 RSV1000R Factory and it is easily the best handling motorcycle I've ever owned. That said if I had to pay someone to work on it I wouldn't have bought it. If you are used to Japanese bikes you have to learn a lot when you start working on an Aprilia. The same thing was true though when I bought a Harley. Completely different platform. 3 lubricants to change for an oil change. Primary chain adjustment. Clutch adjustment. All different. My Aprilia left me stranded. Dead. Crank, no start. It wasn't Aprilia's fault though. Previous owner used a cheap hose clamp that came loose on the fuel filter (which is inside the tank so definitely not a roadside fix) the fuel filter came off bike wouldn't run. Had to remove all the plastic, the tank, fuel pump assembly plate from bottom of tank, then repair was simple. I could have just put the filter back on the hose, put it all back together and it wound have been running again. I didn't want the same thing happening again soI decided to upgrade the fuel hose and especially the clamps. The real delay fixing the bike was finding parts which should have been readily available in America, like crush washers for injector line. 8 different parts stores, dealerships, etc, to find the right ones and they are commonly used. All had the same story, "we're having problems getting all kinds of things these days". Again not Aprilia's fault. I will say this if you want a reliable, well made, fast, decent handling, low maintenance, low operating cost bike, just like with cars, buy Japanese. European bikes and cars handle better, are fast, more performance oriented, but aren't as reliable, require more maintenance, are expensive buy and own, but are wonderful machines to drive/ride. My RSV1000R Factory is definitely more toy than transportation. It's ideal for riding twisties, and taking to the track. Your not going to want to commute with it or go on a trip on it. Stick it in a trailer, go somewhere fun, then go fire a ride. I had a Zx12R before this and the Aprilia has been more headaches but mostly because I was so unfamiliar with them. The Same was true for the Harley for the same reason. Now that I'm familiar with both bikes they aren't headaches anymore. The Aprilia handles far better than the Zx12R, is almost as fast, and a lot more fun to ride. It has the same torque as the Harley in 400lbs package. The Zx12R did about mid 180s the Aprilia low 170s. Not making a bit of practical difference to me. The Zx12R was quicker but that made it difficult to control, almost like a turbo bike. It could get sideways on you in the blink of an eye. The Aprilia is much more controllable. That's my 2 cents.

I got a gsx s1000 for the same reason, minimal electronics and proven reliability of the bullet proof K5-K8 long strong 'R' engine. I have a aftermarket R11 exhaust setup with PC V for tuning( fitted by dealer). Do some of the easy work myself and my warranty ain't void. So i couldn't agree more.

[@latemnf]

I just got a ridiculous deal on a new 2019 S1000R, had a superduke before that and had some serious issues with it; as much as I loved it and hated getting rid of it. The BMW comes with a 3yr warranty which is pretty much unmatched. Plus I really think with the next gen S1000R and GSXS when they implement the variable valve timing engines into those bikes they will be even better, giving the inline 4's better torque down low where they suffer a little compared to the v twin, or v4. I should be ready to trade in once those are hitting the showroom floors lol.

I thrashed the 2004 first gen tuono for 20k miles and the only thing it wanted was fuel and oil these bikes are known to go 100k easy, there was no aprilia dealers back in 2007 and not many now, the only place you had really was is AF1 racing and the forum. these bikes are monsters and thrash proof. I started my own little aprilia clan with friends back then and we always rode with a smile every ride, knowing there was no dealer, no parts except from crashed bikes, and guess what we still all have are bikes no issues some over 30k miles with mods, exhausts, forged wheels, gabro chips god of speed aprilia.

Hi Chris, sold the triumph 765RS, purchased a GSX-R1000R. I track as well as ride canyons, never cruise streets or highway. This is my take on the bike. Needed rear sets and only 1 Italian company that sold them, close to $600.00. Any after market add ons are very expensive and since this is not a popular bike getting it remapped is not available. Real reason for selling my Triumps was the first month the shifter had a detent spring or plate issue. On the track and it was scary. 2nd. thing that went wrong was riding canyons and it cut out a few times, lucky I was going straight in 6th. gear around 70mph. That was the straw that broke the camel's back. If this would have happened on the turns leaned over I would have had a handful and at my age I don't need it. I had a Ducati Monster 1200R, was a dump truck and lost 50% in 2.5yrs. of ownership. Took 13 month's to find a buyer in San Diego. I will never purchase a Italian or British bike again. Japanese bikes have good records of reliability and longevity. My friend has a 2007 ZX10 and has over 160,000mi. on her. He still tracks and runs the canyons. The bike runs great with 2 valve adjustments in the life of the motor. Earl was top 20 racer in the nation in the 80's, a encyclopedia of knowledge and a hell of a nice guy! Don't know where I would be if I didn't meet him years ago. It's amazing at his age he can still ride and be able to come close to record track times being 62yrs. of age. Good luck in your mission.

if you like the v4 check out the honda interceptor. they dont sell them in the US anymore as of 2015 but you can find ones that have not been sold yet so you can get a warranty on them as a new bike. i got my 2014 with zero miles for 8400 out the door. now it doesnt have big impressive numbers like a supersport but it's a well refined bike. its sport touring bike but a little bit more sporty than touring as far as ergos go.

[@alanbstard4]

get a Kawasaki zx1400r. at least test drive one

[@Fearless154]

I own one. It's not a good bike in comparison to tuono or cbr1000rr. Yes it's more powerful than those two but it's too heavy too old and outdated, Very annoying in the traffic. Every modern liter beats it in power department. Expensive to maintain poor gas milage. It's cool bike but overall i would not recommend one now days. H2sx would be better for the same purpose, It's much more comfortable and got a lot more power if you do ecu flash.

[@uncleben4536]

Great video. I was planning on getting a Tuono, but the more I find out about these bikes, the less likely I will get one. In my province (equivalent to state) there are only two dealerships. And both decided to give up their rights to carry Aprilia. Now there is only one dealship, and the reason the two dealerships told me was because of warranty work. Aprilia would not approve of most repairs candid they did, they would only pay out at 75%. So the dealerships were loosing money on them. Also parts would take forever to come in. And the entire company shuts down for the month of August, so if you need parts you are out of luck. Piagio/vespa/Aprilia are the same company. And ordering parts for my wife’s vespa took forever. 2-3weeks for a water pump gasket. Hate to say it, But being able to only have one bike, it’s probably not going to be an Aprilia. It’s too bad because it’s probably the best super naked out there.

[@CycleCruza]

Aprilia does not like to pay. Now I understand why I only have one Aprilia dealership around here. No dealership wants to deal with a company that doesn't want to pay for warranty work. However, I will say this Tuono v4 is a sick bike, the V4 is a beast and sounds like a MotoGP bike.

I had a parts issue with my Shiver 750 and I called Aprilia at Italy. They attended me in my language and looked for the parts for me. Some days later y had all the pars I needed at my local Aprilia dealer. Just flawless customer service, but call yourself. Dealers usually don't put that much effort resolving problems and I had lots of troubles even with other brands, even one from my own country, just because of the dealer.

[@Dickotine]

Yooo... The squid encounter/comment killed me 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Dickotine]

Just cause you liked it, imma go watch it again 😂😂😂😂 you a funny ass dude Cruza. BTW... I don't own a typical "motorcycle" per say... I wanna recommend to you to ride a Suzuki burgman 650, but it really ain't your style. I prefer super quiet and comfy bikes with a lot of storage. Those burgman 650's are pretty cool. Keep your eyes open. For them and if you ever see an opportunity to test ride one, give it a shot. I've taken mine halfway across the country and on a few distance rides and I tell you what. Them cruiser guys who I rode with may not buy a burgman, but they sure do have a new perspective on "scooters". None of em even knew scooters are made with big motors like this (and even bigger). Anyways, give one a try one day.

[@SWTrailsAndWheels]

On my Gen 2 Ducati Multistrada I've waited months for parts on two occasions. Definitely a PITA. Not only that, but the need for parts is more frequent since the bike has been less reliable than my Japanese bikes.

[@CycleCruza]

I've heard that far too often from some of my Ducati and Aprilia owners over the years.

Had a very similar experience with APRILIA, first it was fine,then turned into a electrical nightmare and I couldn't trust it to deliver.

[@IvanRides]

CycleCruza I'd say you should try another Japanese brand that you never owned before like Kawasaki or Suzuki, or a different European brand that you never tried.

[@tumpy1]

Get off the beaten track.

[@timonstettler8403]

Albe made a video on the issue you experienced on your first ride. When the bike comes out of the box and they put it together, the dealer has to marry the ride by wire throttle to the ecu and apparently they tend to fuck up on that part. Redownloding the software and doing it properly solves the problem.

[@Nik-xe3tx]

I am so sorry about the experience you had with Aprilia, it is not the Bike experience you having issue with but the Service dept you are having issue with. I lived in CA, there is never any issue with Aprilia service here, they are honoring all the warranty as promised during the sales, i my self owned 3 Aprilias and not one single Aprilias i owned having any issue with service. I understand some Aprilia dealership in other small state are very timid to do their warranty works just because they are worry not being reimbursed by Aprilia. But to me owning Aprilias since 2010 untill today, not one single issue i had with service to all my bikes, the only issue i am running into at the height of pandemic certain parts are coming in very slow from Italy other than that i have no issue at all. I can see you use to your inline 4 Honda, but seriously man comparing Honda and Aprilia dollars per dollars.....? Aprilia give you more bikes for your hard earning dollars than Japanese Bike. Check out all the Parts you Got ! From Brembo to Ohlins to all advance electronics power and performance. What Honda Gave you, Nissin Brake....? Nissin Master Cyclinder, Showa Suspension.....? Like i said you cannot pleased everyone.

[@samiam5697]

I gotta say this and I'm not usually a negative dude but, bro, this information is awful. Every single complaint you said on this bike was either fixed or you said makes sense. Electronics were fixed, no more problem. Just because you don't trust the bike because of the ONE problem you had (that was fixed immediately) doesn't mean it's a bad bike. I've had my 2017 Tuono since it was new and never had a problem. Why you gotta talk smack about a bike just because it doesn't fit you?? If you're going to be a guy reviewing stuff, you gotta take your personal choices out of the equation. You say you knew what you were getting into when you bought it but you still smack it down. :( Boo bro....boo

Complains that a small volume Italian company doesn't update their bikes often enough but thinks his Honda CBR1000RR, from the biggest bike manufacturer that didnt get any kind of meaningful update engine and chassis-wise for over a decade is the greatest thing ever. Lol. I wil caveat that owning an Aprilia isnt easy. I own two, a 2003 and 2012 Tuono and Aprilia quality isn't what it used to be. But the engine on the 03 is a Rotax mill and they make good engines. But all the newest superbikes have so much tech in them and so much stress on the engines that reliability will be issues for all of them to one degree or another.

[@jsalemi9711]

Fade, also being Italian, love the looks of Italian exotic cars and bikes, but through past experience the reliability rating is not good. I think it's more like bragging rights. Been there and done that. I would love to purchase this new bike after a few years of R&D as well as owners reviews. Seems like the bike would fit my mission for canyons and certain tracks in SoCal. I own a new 2020GSX-R1000R after owning a few bikes in the past, have to say I was ready for the liter sport bike. Raised the bars and left everything stock. Can't say enough about the bike, very easy to ride and have the electronics aids which helps keep me safer. My level of skill is no where near what the bike is capably of doing. On the track I will progress slowly and hope never to go down at age 69yrs.old. Hope to track in my 70's for as long as I can till I have to hang it up.
