Just joined the Tuono club a couple of weeks ago (2021 model) and I am loving it. I had an MT-10SP (2021) but this feels like a more refined package, I guess you get what you pay for. Great videos and nice to see you riding around Auckland area instead of watching people ride around the English countryside!

Love this bike. I do the Tail of The Dragon as much as I can with mine. After being barely able to keep up with a kid on a Husqv 701 Supermoto, I began to search for improvements. I decided to dis my beautiful fluo-red stock wheels for lighter ones, and also install a 520 chain and sprocket. Improved it's nimbleness tremendously. I'm ready for that kid next time.

Hey there, fellow Aucklander here, am looking at the Tuono V4 Factory and Street Fighter V4. I too love the look of the SF better, it just commands attention, but my heart says Tuono. I actually prefer the look of the previous gen Tuono, they’re just hard to find. Don’t mind the look of this gen, and definitely liking the upgraded tech. Btw, great vid, keep it up, subscribed👍

Lovely bike and good review/mods, I owned a 2011 APRC tuono which had to give up for my licenses sake 😂 Love the covers on the frame, reminds me of the carbon2race frame cover I had on mine. Looked badass! Will definitely be getting either the 21/22 model.

It's great that I came across your video. I live in Texas and bought my '24 Touno Factory from AF1, in Austin Tx, and they're pretty cool. Watching your video affirmed I made the right choice. There's a couple of Aprilia dealers in my city but they're kinda sketch in Houston. @ AF1 I tested the RSV4 and it was cool. But when I got on the Tuono, I don't think I ever had a bigger smile. Just something about these bikes. Have another 100 miles till the break-in is complete and I'm going to have AF1 service it and put an exhaust on it. Just not sure which exhaust to get the short SC or the big Ackro?

A quick question was inspired by your mods on your video, so I also bought the Oxford mirrors (Horizon) and just tried fitting them and can't get them to go on? Tried just swapping the screws over without the spacer and bushes but didn't work, then tried both expanding bushes..1 is too small and other only fits half way in. Please could you tell me how you got yours to fit? Many thanks
