The Factory title is bestowed upon those Aprilia bikes that have proved their mettle on the track and comparative tests around the world. The Tuono V4 Factory continues to push the boundaries and forge ahead of rivals, new and old, that every year try to knock it off the top podium in the class invented by Aprilia.

ATC (Aprilia Traction Control) has eight levels and can be changed on the move. This is easy to do via the toggle finger-and-thumb switch on the left bar. There is AWC (Aprilia Wheelie Control), which has five levels and like the TC can be changed while on the gas. The lower levels allow the front to lift slightly and none abruptly cut the ignition. There are three different engine maps (AEM), plus the mentioned engine braking levels (AEB).

As before there is Aprilia Launch Control (ALC) and Aprilia Pit Lane Limiter (APL), not forgetting Aprilia Cruise Control (ACC). And lastly, the brilliant (AQS) Aprilia Quick Shift, which has a new operating strategy for 2021 that even allows downshift with the throttle still open. It’s an impressive line-up of electronic goodies that majors one easy access and being straightforward to operate.

As you’d expect, Aprilia offers a range of racing parts, exhausts, brake guards, and carbon front air vents which look very trick. But there are more practical options like side panniers, 22.5l capacity in total, a USB port, and even a ‘comfort’ touring seat.

I was mightily impressed with the Factory version of the Tuono on track and knew the standard version with its more-road focused ergonomics would also impress on the road. In many ways it is a better and more versatile bike than the Factory edition.

As with the Factory, the fuelling, throttle connection and rider aids are some of the finest on the market. Handling is typically impressive and the manually-adjustable suspension only needs tweaking for the added weight of a pillion or the demands of the track and sticky track rubber. The Tuono offers a new practicality as well one heck of a bucket load of entertainment. The V4 has become one of the most enjoyable engines in any sector – and sounds fantastic too.

I’m unsure on the drab-ish looks, which lack the desirability of the Factory, and I’d like a larger tank range given the excellent comfort levels of this excellent bike, but this is a really big step by Aprilia to produce the most practical Tuono to date.

The Aprilia RS 660 had a successful launch in 2020 with the mid-displacement market hungry as ever.The upcoming 2021 Tuono 660 has official model photos (finally) and official release details to go along with it.

When it comes to Aprilia’s large displacement motorcycles – namely the Tuono 1250 and RSV4 – the recipe goes as follows; take the super-fast track-oriented motorcycle and make it more comfortable for street riding/commuting through ergonomic changes. That recipe is old and works wonders, so it makes sense for the Italian motorcycle brand to carry that methodology over for the new 660 brothers.

The Tuono 660 is pretty much an RS 660 that has been put through the comfort gauntlet. The bike retains most of the same parts from the RS; the Brembo brakes, engine location, headlights, full-color TFT display, and most of the major notable parts are carried over. The engine is also brought over from the RS 660, but has been slightly changed. The 270-degree liquid-cooled, DOHC 660cc parallel-twin sees a slight decrease in horsepower to a total of 95, but beyond that, the engine remains virtually identical.

A few things that set the Tuono apart would be the high-rise handlebars first and foremost. With the Aprilia aiming for the Tuono to be as comfortable on the street as possible, the more upright riding position brought by the higher handlebars is a game-changer when looking for a bike suited for commuting. The body receives a window into the parallel-twin engine by shedding some material from the fairings, and the windscreen has shrunk slightly.

Aprilia has their eyes on a late Q1 release for the Tuono 660, meaning you should be able to purchase this bike with a test ride in early spring. The bike is planned for an MSRP of $10,499, and if you want the Acid Gold colorway found on the RS 660 it’ll tack on an extra $200 to the sticker price.

BLOWOUT PRICES $11,997 was $14,999.... Same as 2018, except the price, BRAND NEW with 54 miles. SHOOTOUT WINNER! Recent major publication comparison winner. "..we were all in agreement that the Aprilia Tuono 1100 RR ranks right at the top both road and track. It possesses true superbike performance in every area: engine, electronics, handling, and brakes. And it does so with a degree of comfort, civility, and Italian spice and flair that inspires you physically and emotionally to desire more track time following a two-day road ride. And that is a mountain of evidence in our book.." Supernaked DNA...Unrivaled V4 Attitude... The Tuono V4 is upgraded in 2017 with TFT display, Aprilia Cruise Control, Cornering ABS, Aprilia Quickshift with clutchless downshifting, and 330mm double discs with Brembo M50 calipers. From its 175HP 1100cc V4 to the latest in Aprilia electronics to a stance that"s worthy of only the best in Italian style, the Tuono V4 RR reigns in the world of naked motorcycles. Delivering pure V4 performance. Price includes all mfg. incentives.

New LED front and rear lights and sculptured inward side winglets; a new, 48 percent stiffer swingarm taken directly off the RSV4; and a split down the middle to further differentiate the base model from the Tuono V4 Factory. These are all signs of a brand-new bike, right? Well, not entirely.

That’s because the Aprilia Tuono V4 is still one of the very finest motorcycles created in the last 20 years, and, as such, Aprilia didn’t need to reinvent the wheel with the new model. They just gave the wheel a spit and polish.

Perhaps the most significant detail of the new Tuono V4 is that splitting of the model. Previously, the base model was just a watered-down version of the all-balls Factory edition, but now Aprilia has finally gone the way of BMW with their S 1000 R/S 1000 XR and KTM with the 1290 Super Duke R and Super Duke GT and created a sport-touring version for the $15,999 MSRP Tuono V4.

It’s not all that different to the Factory: 20 mm higher-set handlebars, a new subframe with a wider passenger seat and lower footpegs, optimized luggage options like side and tank bags, and a taller windscreen. Oh, and blander colors than the red and black the Tuono Factory gets. Still fitted to the touring model is the conventionally-adjusted, fully-adjustable Sachs suspension, while rubber is the Pirelli Rosso Corsa III tire.

The $19,499 MSRP Tuono V4 Factory, meanwhile, gets the semi-active Ohlins Smart EC 2.0 suspension, a short tinted windscreen, the RSV4 tail section and passenger footpeg set-up, racier colors, a polished frame, and track-specific Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP rubber.

The rest of the specs are basically identical between the two models. That buxom 1077 cc, 175 hp V4 remains largely unchanged except it now comes with Euro 5 compliance. There are new settings for the quick shifter and the electronics have been reworked via the bigger five-inch TFT display.

From the hot seat, the Tuono V4 Factory feels almost identical to before. The Ohlins Smart EC 2.0 system is a gem and handles the kind of shit roads we ride on in SoCal with robotic ease. Switch the system to Sport and you’ve got a taught, firm ride for the canyons, perfect for loading up the front tire and hammering into long, sweeping bends. Switch it to Road mode and you’ve got a Tuono that’s plush and easy to ride in traffic. It’s the best of both worlds.

The Tuono V4 Factory is god’s gift to corner apexes. It’s a machine that exudes confidence, allowing the rider to trust what’s happening underneath them, safe in the knowledge that the bike isn’t going to do anything stupid. This is a precise, corner-slashing tool.

Aprilia’s more powerful RSV4 simply bulldozes its way past the emissions block but the Tuono labors a little, but it’s a small price to pay for having a Euro 5-compliant V4 beneath you.

I only got an hour on the now-touring specific Tuono, and although the bones are similar, the ride is indeed quite different. You’re sitting at a straighter angle thanks to the higher handlebars, and the taller screen knocks a large portion of the wind from the rider’s helmet. You ride more sedately as you can’t quite load up the front tire like on the Factory, but the main point of this model is to make your very brave passenger a bit more comfortable, which it will no doubt do.

The Aprilia Tuono V4 and V4 Factory are absolutely near the top of the naked bike tree, even though at heart, they are not that different than before. The Factory, in particular, is so hard to fault. It talks to you, guiding you through corners and meeting you with the most beautiful of motors for the exit. Riding a Tuono is a love experience. It makes you glad you got your license.

When Aprilia introduced the Tuono 660 in 2021, the new naked bike owed much of its form to the RS 660 sportbike, but with an upright handlebar, less bodywork, and some tweaks to the 659cc parallel-Twin for street duty. The new Factory variant ups the ante with a 5-horsepower boost, full adjustability for the KYB fork and an oil reservoir-equipped Sachs shock, and a lightweight lithium battery. The 2022 Aprilia Tuono 660 Factory will be available in a single-seat configuration with Factory Dark graphics. Pricing and availability are TBD.

An adventure bike that’s been teased for a while is the 2022 Aprilia Tuareg 660, which is powered by a liquid-cooled, 659cc parallel-Twin adapted from the RS 660 sportbike. It’s equipped with the APRC electronics suite, long-travel adjustable suspension, and 21-inch front/18-inch rear spoked wheels with tubeless tires. MSRP starts at $11,999.

BMW has updated its entire K 1600 lineup, which includes four models powered by a liquid-cooled, 1,649cc inline-Six. The engine is now Euro 5 compliant and still makes 160 peak horsepower, though it now arrives at 6,750 rpm, 1,000 rpm earlier than before. Peak torque has increased to 133 lb-ft, up from 129, at 5,250 rpm. All models get a new 6-axis IMU; engine drag torque control (MSR); BMW Motorrad Dynamic ESA (Electronic Suspension Adjustment) “Next Generation”; “welcome,” “good-bye”, and “follow me home” light functions; an updated cornering LED headlight; a 10.25-inch high-definition TFT color display with integrated map navigation (via the BMW Motorrad Connected app) and Bluetooth connectivity.

The 2022 Indian Chief Bobber Dark Horse gets the larger, more powerful Thunderstroke 116 V-Twin, the 4-inch display with Ride Command, and standard ABS. Sixteen-inch wheels have chrome spokes and gloss black rims, and nearly everything gets a menacing, blacked-out look. The Chief Bobber Dark Horse comes in Black Smoke, Titanium Smoke, and Sagebrush Smoke, and pricing starts at $18,999.

The up-spec 2022 Indian FTR S features a Bluetooth ready 4.3-inch Ride Command touchscreen display, giving riders access to three selectable ride modes and IMU-supported rider aides like cornering ABS, traction control, wheelie control, rear-wheel lift mitigation, and stability control. Standard equipment includes a fast-charging USB port, an Akrapovič slip-on exhaust, and fully adjustable Sachs suspension. It’s available in Maroon Metallic (above) and White Smoke, and pricing starts at $14,999.

For touring riders who want more power, safety, and sophistication, the 2022 Indian Super Chief Limited features a quick-release windscreen, saddlebags, a touring seat with passenger pad, floorboards, and traditional pullback handlebars like the base-model Super Chief. The Limited adds the Thunderstroke 116 V-twin, standard ABS, and a 4-inch round display with Bluetooth-connected Ride Command. Chrome finishes and rich metallic paint make the Super Chief Limited extra special. It comes in Black Metallic, BlueSlate Metallic, and Maroon Metallic, and pricing starts at $20,999.

A popular middleweight sport-tourer since it was introduced in 2008, Kawasaki’s 649cc parallel-Twin-powered Versys 650 gets new traction control, refreshed styling with an adjustable windscreen and LED lighting, and a new TFT color display with Bluetooth connectivity. The 2022 Kawasaki Versys 650 is available in Metallic Spark Black/Metallic Flat Spark Black for $8,899 or Candy Lime Green/Metallic Flat Spark Black/Metallic Spark Black for $9,099. The 2022 Kawasaki Versys 650 LT with handguards and saddlebags is available in Metallic Spark Black/Metallic Flat Spark Black for $9,999.

The street-oriented 2022 KTM 1290 Super Adventure S has been updated with even more tech, comfort, and performance for the open road. Its engine is lighter, its chassis has been updated, and it gets new WP APEX Semi-Active Technology (SAT) suspension. It also gets radar-assisted adaptive cruise control (ACC) and a new 7-inch TFT display. MSRP is $19,499.

The 2022 KTM RC 390 gets new engine mapping and a revised airbox that helps its liquid-cooled, DOHC, 4-valve, 373cc Single make more torque. New rider-assist electronics include cornering ABS with supermoto mode, cornering traction control, and an optional quickshifter. It’s ready for road or track with all-new GP-inspired bodywork, revisions to the chassis that save 13 pounds, updated WP Apex suspension, improved ergonomics, a larger fuel tank, and a TFT color display. MSRP is $5,799.

Our client was keen to get the stunning metallic black and red paintwork on his his brand new Aprilia Tuono V4 protected so he approached us for a solution. Unfortunately, as his bike was the latest 2021 model, there wasn’t an ‘off the shelf’ paint protection film pattern already available and, as his main concern was the detrimental effects caused by stone chips and road rash, a ceramic coating wasn’t going to be a suitable option.
