2011 Aprilia Tuono V4R Review


It a sunny morning in Valencia, and are at the Ricardo Tormo circuit sipping coffee while listening to the roaring 20 V4 powered Tuonos must be heated to Pit Lane. One of them is mine, all mine, because the day is devoted to the mechanics - I get treated like the star of MotoGP.

I will start the first session with the traction control set at a level six, and then subtracts one each round until they are down a level. 2011 Aprilia Tuono V4R is a bit a shock to the system, because it pulls like a raging bull all over, and stops as if the freight train suddenly started to play again. When I finished second 20 minute session I feel a hand pump and the threat of a cramp in his left foot every time you brake hard. My mechanic has made some changes to the rear suspension, the bike has changed a lot and I did a lot of hard driving easier.


V4 engine, taken directly from the RSV4 Superbike R, Tuono costumes complete with the absolute abundance of power. Aprilia has just de-tuned a little , to only 13 horsepower less than RSV4 Tuono R is hard physical work, when it hits the laps more than they really had to push me forward to keep the bike after the hanging the handlebar. Thunder chews all the short straight at Ricardo Tormo circuit than anything else, and soon it feels like the whole circuit is one of the corners in a row on the long start / end of the straight.

APR with the traction control can accelerate the onset of the lean Great security, and even at level one, it feels safe, even if some nice slip away from most of the curves. The only place in the Valencia circuit, where there is a moment of relaxation is directly downward, but also a formidable force and the wind pushes you back until its time to brake while moving down the screen .

Later that day I decided to travel to short shifter more quickly to save my arms from the trunk, and it almost felt like I was a little slower. The three reports below on the Tuono R is less than the RSV4 and it hurts! Because of the significant rapid changes I made my way all the way up to sixth on several occasions. The slipper clutch is just as good to break hard to second ahead of the fast left-hander at the end of the straight line. So, everything is full throttle and smooth and a little wheelie all over again.

The Aprilia Tuono R V4 April we drive on the track was fitted with Pirelli Diablo Corsa 200/55-ZR17 rear tires and spare clutch and brake, which makes it even better than the standard I later, riding on the road. The rear tire section 200 simply offers so much grip, but still brutal Tuono makes mincemeat of that too given half a chance.

Angles are certainly in the Superbike standard and there is not much on this bike outside the wide handlebars and the absence of a dress that looks like a streetfighter. The bike that I can not imagine being able to compete ethically Ducati Streetfighter and has 17 fewer horses. MV Agusta Brutale is too soft compared to this.

In spite of going as hard as I could, or dared, Thunder is composed of only one machine and it is incredibly safe. I can not imagine never go wrong wrong with this bike, because it provides the pilot of mercy and forgiveness just spits back, "You can not drive faster than me?" Thunder is for those of us who want to go fast on road and track, and no one will ever find this bike boring. This is a testosterone on two wheels.


I have never ridden a nude that feels like a stable or suitable for race track as soon as April Tuono V4R regime 10K rpm climb above there is a high-tech exhaust sound, style, roaring mighty V4 MotoGP exciting . The rev limiter was set at 12,300 revolutions per minute, which can over-rev 800rpm if necessary. You will be surprised at the power of the medium Tuono is about 7000 rpm. The decline in the three gear ratios below simply reinforces the arm-wrenching acceleration. The Tuono is high and wide track provides a relaxing stay on the road, but on the ground, V4 engine ensures that you get your arm movement.


The V4 Tuono R APR has all the RSV4 Factory APRC SE was so involving a wheelie control the sweetness landings. On the road, this is not the easiest bike to wheelie because of Ride-by-wire and the sudden explosion of power. I had fun on the road by pulling up with pure power in second gear to anything between 60 and 75 km / h and just went as far as I could or revolutions. The Tuono is certainly a great bike wheelie. Traction Control to be disabled, or you will be disappointed, as the system quickly brings you back to earth. The traction control works by pressing the + or - on the left handlebar, while on the go.

So I stayed in track mode for all my laps around the circuit, the path of the road, I was in standard TAE Tuono V4R with 190/55 tires at the rear, levers and the traction control standard placed in a higher level and mode of behavior of the sport, which reduces the pair of lower gears. I played around with the traction control and find three levels to be really good for our horse in the mountains. It adds a security level of traction control. Later I changed the setting to have fun and also a horse. Riding hard on the corners with traction control is updated may not be enough to save a situation of gravel and oil, so I needed more traction control to turn a relatively secure.

The only thing APR does not accept or even have ABS brakes. Reliable sources tell us that Aprilia will start something good for the segment of ABS racing soon. I had a few moments on the brakes because they never reach speeds fast enough to make the brakes and tires, as well as work on the road or track. The Tuono V4R is a bit of the few on the road, so I recommend people to use the traction control with good results.

The seat is hard and not very pleasant, it does not take too many miles before I felt a little tree in my muscles seat. The Tuono is the kind of compromise, but it is miles more comfortable than the RSV4 superbike R. The Tuono is Roadbike V4R lead runner for a super sport, but with a more upright riding. Because I tell you the power and manipulation is there.

Conclusion

2011 Aprilia Tuono V4R April is perhaps the most extreme type Streetbike Street Fighter ever made. Aprilia have upped the stakes a lot. V4 engine and its 167 horses is one of the best bargains, and its handling is exemplary. Oh, yeah, V4R thunder is so good.
