$26K???? Seriously, these should sell quick at that price! From what I've read, these things are the duck's nuts!

Jebus....cheaper than what they initially indicated.
I can certainly vouch for how much fun the motors are

Was driving passed Motorad today and spotted the new boy on the block, a yellow Tuono V4. Had to pop in for a gander.

Quite an impression bit of kit up close. The build quality looks top notch and for $26k you get the full TC electronics & quickshifter. Reasonably comfy to sit on too.

Yeah I heard Motorad were getting 3 and they were all pre-sold. Can't wait to see it in the flesh.

The second batch has arrived and they have a demo! Took it out yesterday.

Just what you would expect. Small, powerful, easy as hell to flick through turns and aimed at track days not touring i.e. uncomfortable around town.

Quickshifter action was near perfect. Great brakes, light clutch.
Don't think it was run in, so I only sampled the upper mid range revs and the power was fantastic. The exhaust note is unbelievably, spine chillingly one of the best ever from a stock pipe. No need to fit an aftermarket pipe - save your money for a change.

Seat was hard as rock and your feet cramped up your arse, but that's what people seem to want for track use.

ps- The Speed Triple R arrives in a week or so.

Got a customer who's traded his Streetfighter "S" on a new APRC Tuono with us. His opinion is that the Aprilia's a vastly better bike, despite the fact it's almost a 10K cheaper bike.

Fark that's a big statement but no one would know better than the owner of both

Road my mates V4 APRC Tuono with the full $-4k Akropovic Titanuim GP system ... Gen2 TTX36 rear shock fitted & modified front forks & the Factory Aprilia race mapping & have to say it was different would have to spend abit more time on it to find its rhythm , but the suspension setup was shockingly over done to the point I had to readjust it when we came to a stop which transformed the whole bike & feel instantly ... The power & quick shifter was excellent & the front end feel very positive over all a 8.5 - 10 Looking forward to the RSV4 factory
