Aprilia Tuono V4
The Aprilia Tuono V4 was introduced in 2011 as a naked/streetfighter derivative of the RSV4 superbike, sharing its 65-degree V4 engine architecture. It quickly earned a reputation as one of the most powerful and thrilling naked motorcycles in the world, winning numerous 'Best Naked Bike' awards throughout the 2010s. The 2021 Tuono V4 Factory represented a major evolution with 175 hp, a six-axis IMU, and advanced electronics, cementing its status as the benchmark for high-performance naked bikes.

What Buyers Should Know
V4 Engine Reliability
The 1077cc V4 engine is derived from Aprilia's RSV4 superbike and is generally robust when properly maintained. Regular valve clearance checks every 15,000 km are critical — skipping this service is the most common cause of expensive engine issues.
Watch the Electronics
Earlier models (2011–2014) are known for occasional APRC electronics glitches and throttle body sensor failures that can trigger warning lights. Always check service history and ensure the ECU software has been updated to the latest version before buying.
Strong Resale Value
The Tuono V4 holds its value exceptionally well compared to most naked bikes, typically retaining 70–80% of its value after three years. Low-mileage examples with full service history command a premium, making it a smart long-term ownership choice.
