to the (unofficial) title of the world's most sophisticated naked bike, the 2011 Aprilia Tuono V4R was unveiled at the 2010 EICMA motorcycle show in Milan.
Powering the 2011 Aprilia Tuono V4R is the donor bike's 1000cc V4 engine -- 999.6cc to be precise -- which has been detuned from its 182hp (134kW) peak, now delivering 162hp (119kW) at 11,000rpm.
The chassis components are largely borrowed from the Aprilia RSV4R, which means fully adjustable Sachs suspension front and rear (43mm upside down front forks plus the rear shock) plus a steering damper. The APRC, or Aprilia Performance Ride Control, has been pilfered from the top-sped RSV4 Factory APRC SE and features a ride-by-wire throttle, eight traction control settings, a launch control system and even a wheelie-control system. Combined with a six-speed gearbox with quickshift setup, the 2011 Aprilia Tuono V4R looks set to become the new benchmark in the naked bike segment.
Aprilia Tuono V4R is an incredible concept to make improvements in all body concept motorcycles, Aprilia Tuono V4R looks very luxurious and headlamps that blend together so that the motor is very handsome and also speed no doubt. Make Aprilia Tuono V4R very complete.
The bike inherits some features from the RSV4 Factory APRC SE including the new exhaust system with bypass valve, which is two kilos lighter than the system used on the RSV4 R, and latest generation Ride by Wire throttle control.
The APRC package includes ATC traction control (Aprilia Traction Control), with eight selectable levels, which controls sliding when accelerating out of a curve in relation to bank angle and throttle aperture, AWC (Aprilia Wheelie Control), which helps the rider control extreme wheelying by gradually bringing the front wheel back to the ground, and AQS (Aprilia Quick Shift), which allows instantaneous upshifts without closing the throttle or using the clutch.
