Aprilia Tuono V4 R (2011)

Aprilia Tuono V4 R (2011)

The Aprilia Tuono V4 R is a behemoth of a bike, born from the same DNA that dominated the World Superbike Championship. At its heart lies a 162 HP V4 engine, a masterpiece of engineering that unleashes an unparalleled ferocity on demand.

With APRC electronic management and a chassis honed to perfection, this naked bike redefines the boundaries of what’s possible on two wheels. Its aggressive stance is accentuated by the exposed aluminum elements of its dual beam frame, while the aerodynamic top fairing and polyelliptical headlights give it an unapologetically menacing gaze.

The Tuono V4 R inherits the best features from its Special Edition sibling, including a new exhaust system with bypass valve and latest generation Ride by Wire throttle control. Its closest relatives are the high-performance track bikes, yet it’s tailored to provide maximum thrills on public roads.
