You should change the title to Tuono V4 Factory, because the Tuono V4 non-factory actually has lower pegs, and suspension that is more forgiving while -being adjustable. There is a distinct difference between the factory and non-factory. the info in this video can be misleading for those that is interested in the standard Tuono/Touring Tuono. So many of the CONs in this video is not indicative of the standard/touring Tuono.

You definitely got a lot right about this bike. Before I bought my 2020 Tuono 1100 RR, I was a daily rider. Now, the Tuono only comes out from under it's cover on the weekend and the occasional weekday off from work. It's a reward or the perfect escape from life as it requires your full concentration. If I wake up and I'm not feeling 100% on my game...I won't even get on the Tuono. You have to be completely in synch with this bike or it's not even any fun to ride. I respect that. In the end, It's just too God damn beautiful of a bike to wreck.

[@stephenpatton8690]

Is it really all that? I am coming from a 1290 super duke r with power commander, 2 tooth increase in rear sprocket, high torque manual rekluse clutch. I got used to it. That bike had 140is nm of torque and 177 horses. How much more gonzo could this bike be??? I ask because I have a dark tuono v4 factory in my sights at the local dealer. My ktm threw a crank a5 38k. Total catastrophic failure and they would do NOTHING. Thinking this is the next bike. I have 35 years of street experience on the daily. Thoughts and guidance???

[@jmiller990]

@@stephenpatton8690 my guess is the 1290 Super Duke might be similar. I still really only take my Tuono out on longer rides on the weekend. In the city, there's little reason to take it out of first gear and never a reason to go above second. Now that I've had this bike for almost two years, I realize how rarely I really get on it. Maybe my next bike will be a 600cc. On the Tuono, if I get on it it's at 100mph in a couple seconds and personally I just don't need a ticket like that messing up my commercial vehicle insurance rates. But, I still love this bike. It's my toy... I keep it looking showroom new.

[@stephenpatton8690]

I picked up my 2022 tuono v4 1100 factory this weekend! Love it! That being said, I still don't understand your assessment of this machine; yeah, it is powerful but, come on, you will only ride it when you are 100%? I really don't get it. You need to ride more:)

[@jmiller990]

@@stephenpatton8690 I'm 56 years old...well past the age where I have any interest in dying on a motorcycle or ending up being one of the wrecks I come across multiple times a year here in California from guys who think they can handle their motorcycle...and learn the hard way they can't. Yeah, I'll stick to riding my Tuono when I'm able to invest my full attention to it. You could own that Tuono for 2 years and you'd still never consistently get 75% of it's capability out of it off the track. I don't even have to know your experience level as a rider to know that. The fact is off track roads simply aren't designed for a bike with the Tuono's power. Unless of course, I'm currently exchanging messages with "Max Wrist" in which case we both now your Tuono will end up in a ditch inevitably. 🤣

[@ghostinthewind23]

If your in the market for a DAILY bike I agree that the MT09 is probably the perfect bike for daily use and some weekend shredding. I'll put it like this... The MT09 is a very capable bike, you will be able to keep up with the liter boys in the turns and not fall too far behind on the straights. The MT09 has great power especially if you flash it like most people do. Maintenance cost are lower and running cost are as well. Tuono imo is the jack of all trades, but I do agree it's not the best for commuting. However if you like like speed and some comfort you will be hard press to find a better bike. Not only will you be able to keep up in the turns on the Tuono, but when it comes to straight line performance barely any bike will beat you to 160mph if you have good flash (raced S1000rr, RSV4, R1). When it comes to having the bikes on the side of the tire the Tuono wins imo, but to be fair the Tuono has full ohlins suspension and my old MT09 was stock suspension. At the end of the day they're both great bikes and you will have a ton of fun on either bike. If you need a daily bike buy an MT09, but are looking for a great weekend bike, like speed and don't mind spending more cash you won't be disappointed with Tuono. Just my .02 Had a 2018 MT09 for about a year, logged about 10k miles on it in that year. Traded it in for my 2019 Tuono Factory Summit Attack and have logged about 4k miles on her so far. Man, I really wish y'all had some better curves in TX lol, that last road was not ideal for the Tuono. Gotta take her to the mountains 😉 Ride Safe Everyone

in the twisties you can ride the torque in 3rd and 4th and enjoy the chassis on the edge of the tyre or you can ride 1st and 2nd and get a bit more involved and still enjoy the sweet sweet chassis, I find you can ride sensibly but it's so cool to have that power when you want it, those quick overtakes then relax never get old

[@sanxi34]

Dude... Yesterday I had a chance to test ride an S1000R... I cannot begin to tell you how dangerous that bike was for me, I cannot imagine what a Tuono would feel like man... I cannot even begin to imagine... Within 15 mins of riding the BMW I "saw" how I was gonna die haha

[@mackeycharli256]

You’ve hit the nail on the head. I’ve owned my 18 Factory for about 2 months now and have realised through tight bumpy roads I’d be way quicker on my MT-07 with its softer suspension and flickability (and less fear of binning an expensive bike). It really is just a flex bike. It’s only when you find those beautiful smooth high speed sweepers that you begin to understand where this bike wants to live - and that’s above 130km/hr

[@JasonStJohn-my1cs]

I would like to say that I have theTuono v4 I think he’s completely wrong when it comes to It’s not chill in the engine management three setting the bike is extremely chill not out of control at all. You can totally cruise around on the bike with very little ease throttle response very mellow as long as you have it in engine management number three this bike is very easy to drive and there’s no issues with it being too powerful if you just wanna cruise. Everyone’s opinion is different. It’s totally able to be driven anyway you want. Gentle or aggressive it doesn’t matter. It can do both.

[@jmiller990]

One other point on the Tuono. Once you ride it a couple thousand miles you actually do get a much better feel for the throttle on this bike. Some miles on this bike helps to adjust to it's few quirks and make for a more enjoyable ride. But, you definitely hit a lot of the points about the Tuono.

But I got more experience since that happened. And oh my god. This bike is amaaaaazing! It is a glorious V4 sound. Its range is not great though, but I guess that figures for this engine type. But man, it’s a gorgeous machine and it is such a fun ride. Totally worth it.

I disagree that it's too much or hard to ride. Maybe it's not a good fit for you. I love mine and it does what I want it to whenever I want. It doesn't complain and it obeys my every command with excellent precision. The 1 and only thing I'm not a fan of is it runs hot. Commuting in heavy traffic is not the best and if you want to keep it cool you have to shut it off at the red lights. It's not made for heavy traffic though so I don't have much right to complain if I force it to ride through it. Sometimes I just can't help myself cuz I just always want to ride.

I'd like to point out that the Tuono today celebrates its 20 years of life, it was in fact released to the press in March 2002.

I own a 21 V4 Factory myself, just wanted to comment on the cruise control. It won’t work in Gears 1 and 2 at all. In gears 3-5 it only works as long as you’re sub 6k Rpm because that’s where the exhaust flap will open. Propably they just want you to not cruise around with open flap in 3rd gear, so they rather have u shift up until you either get under the 6k rpm or reach 6th gear. In 6th gear it will allow Cruise Control over 6k rpm. Could probably fix all of that with a tune but at least here in Germany it seems like a sensible thing.

[@lhdrones1775]

It is a super reasonable thing to do. Mapping won’t change it, at least it didn’t do anything to mine. In Germany probably you are the only ones in Europe that can try that 6th gear cruise at maximum speed legally. I dunno if there is a limit honestly.

[@TheZephata]

@@lhdrones1775 I mean you can change basically anything by remapping the bike, wasn’t talking about the Akra map or anything but an individual map. But yeah, definitely sensible thing to do and if you actually still have the flap installed you should surely notice how and why it works like this :D

I fear he would have to go a looong way before encountering something like the Stelvio pass you are riding through with your tuono. (Not that the Stelvio is even great, I hate it, always full of tourists). But riding the tuono in the wide plain and dull American highways roads is criminally undermining its potential. Lucky us that we are gifted the Alps here.

[@kennigt]

​@@lhdrones1775 Well spotted! It is Stelvio, and yes, busy pass, Southern France and Dolomites (besides touristic Gardena) are my favorite Alpine areas. I was there also on my VFR800 and it is not powerful (enjoyable) enough when going uphill (after 180deg bend). Had to reduce to 1st and wait for 7k rpm to have some juice. Tuono goes uphill like a dream. And maybe what is more important it is so much safer to overtake when you have this power. Naked bikes are not for highways, it was not pleasant for me at all. I would even say, I suffer on highways. But when I hit twisty roads it is so much fun to ride, even if I use only first 2 or 3 gears :)

The exhaust sounds too good, it's impossible not to run out 1st and then just go straight to 4th or 5th on surface roads with stop lights. I don't think I've ever seen over 30mpg, I look for a gas station every 80 miles or so. Every 600 squid you see wants to race, just yesterday I casually came up on and passed one while cruising at 85, he immediatly dropped 2 and started lane splitting. 60mph back roads are where this bike is most comfortable to ride, but its not where the bike wants to be, it wants way more speed. It's a lot of work even in the pocket at speed, 150 with a well ventalated textile summer jacket that's not skin tight is a LOT of buffeting on a naked, so even though the bike wants to go mach jesus non stop, it's too much work to do more than just bursts.....

I love the powerbronze I put on mine and felt like I got much better wind protection.

[@DukeOfTwist]

Agree, I put it on the base model to get rid of the square GS look ugliness ;-)

[@deerealhino69]

If I could ride my 02 R1 with an high aggressive rear set setup for 5+ hours I’m sure I could ride this Tuono for the same amount of time and easily make it a commuter daily bike.

[@MichaelTramm]

Hah! I’m visiting Austin from San Diego. I rented a Triumph Street Twin on twisted road and found Cow Creek on Rever and rode it yesterday! Good times!

[@timsretirementjourney8323]

The bike looks nice but even if I was young again I wouldn't get it. I personally love the sound of an inline 4 so much more. Not sure how you call that a naked, but if going with naked the supercharge Kawasaki would have my attention. After having a bike with a full fairing I couldn't ever see buying naked again if I wanted to go fast for very long though. Hayabusa would be my choice for a relatively comfortable, relatively fast bike a person could ride fast all day long, and that sounds great (in my humble opinion).

I dont agree with you spite, I got the 2021 tuono v4 factory as my first beginner bike. And after riding it for a month and doing the break in service, I felt this bike is lacking power and honestly its not fun enough for me anymore. Also because I needed to extract that little 175 hp and bring it to redline all the time, I doubt this engine would last long, as they are notorious bout the quality. I might eventually need to upgrade to a H2R or turbo busa after I get me full liscence.

Get the base Tuono with the touring package. Load her up, and head west, young man! Higher speed limits are out there. And hit the Texas Mile!

You say the super duke is very upright. I think you should ride the 2021 version. It is quite similar to the tuono!

[@johnhernandez6434]

Glad to see a new vid from you. Hope you were able to get the ECU recall flash done. Did my first longer group ride last weekend from FT Meyers to Lake Placid and it was a great ride and comfortable the whole time. I’m working on getting those chicken strips worked in also. Stay safe and enjoy.

[@Gismo3333]

The reason you think it has to little turn angel is because you don't counter-steer and lean the bike over. That is what bikes do. Just stop driving it like a car/truck…

[@WellEnoughToDrive]

I own both a Ducati and and an Aprillia.. what the heck does that make me?? I don’t think I’m obnoxious about either one. Granted. They’re both babies being the V2 and the Tuono 660. But I can use almost everything each one has to offer on the street and they’re both a damn blast!

[@hockey5846]

as a ex Aprilia owner ( now a ducatista ) the dealer support and poor reliability was a is brutal to have this as a daily rider the sounds are great but it comes at a cost .. hard to hear the bike when your waiting months for parts and trying to find an authorized dealer to keeps that factory warranty and trust me that warranty will come in handy ...

[@cody-2536]

Can agree.. got an rs660, was in the dealer for 2 months to get a stator cover gasket replaced.. Now there's an 80% chance I'm gonna get a new engine due to half quart every 300 miles of oil consumption .. only got 3600 miles on it. Thank God my authorized dealer is only 15 minutes away. Some of these people I'm hearing are traveling 3+ hours one way to get to a dealer... Fuck that

[@deankruse4491]

Yes my 2019 Tuono burns a quart every 1500 or 1600 miles and the dealer says it’s normal. Not cool and the nearest dealer is a 2 1/2 hour drive away

[@gvdl7569]

Man, that could have been cut down to like 12 min,42 was painful. Yes it's a "motorcycle" ( I think I heard that word 1000 times?) . And yes.def not a commuter or cruiser. If u want that,get something else. Superbike with handlebars that's what a tuono is. Take it from there.

[@brianglendenning1632]

Many US Moto vloggers repeat the word “motorcycle” too much. Likewise they all seem to say “without further adieu”, which is incorrect if the intention is to say “without further delay”. Just say “so, without further delay, …”.

[@davidmeola207]

I find it hard to call the tuono a naked bike when it has a front fairing. What do you guys think @noobs?

[@lhdrones1775]

That it is not only the tiny amount of fairing that decides if a bike is naked or not. In my view “nakeds” may have been originally intended for a stripped down sport bike, but now the term refers to a motorcycle suited for the street, with handlebar, torquier engine and less committed ergonomy. Nonetheless if I had to find communalities between a Tuono and either the mt-10 or the r1 it is clear to me that it has far more things in common with the first than with the latter. Same with all the other supernakeds, it is not a couple of inches of plastic that makes it ineligible to be called naked.

[@MaaZeus]

No, I agree. I really do not see this as a naked bike. I didn't even realise people were calling this a naked bike! This is a sport bike through and through.

[@DukeOfTwist]

@@MaaZeus Its risers & bars posed to clip-ons that define a naked bike not the fairings.

[@MaaZeus]

@@DukeOfTwist Naked bikes came to be from street fighters and street fighters are sport bikes with their fairings removed. Stripped naked. Handle bars had nothing to do with it.

For some people there is something to owning something that's just extra. I mean... who can buy a Lamborghini and consider it a reasonable purchase? Not all purchases have to be practical. I don't have Lambo money, I don't even have Ducati or Aprilia money, but I get it.

After watching your videos here are the best i gathered up. All of these are flagship bikes. For commuting - MT10 For weekend squid fun - RSV4 1100 factory For touring - Goldwing (fuck you. Change my mind. I dare you.) For off-roading - KLR-650 😂

[@lhdrones1775]

It depends where do you want to tour. If it’s a coast to coast on the dull American routes then yes, if you plan something more complex like European alps, doing it on a goldwing is like cruising on a bull in a china shop.

All that beautiful Italian artistry, all that power, all that huge pricetag, and these bikes still come with a little square, hard to read, DIGITAL dog-leg tach and teeny tiny speedometer numbers. Chinzy little Chinese screens that aren't even OLED screens, is an unbelievable tragedy in the modern sportbike market. Only Yamaha understands, and still uses an analog tach with a huge digital speedo readout.
