2012 Aprilia Tuono V4 R APRC

The Aprilia Tuono V4: From World Superbike Bloodlines comes the King of all Streetfighters After creating the best superbike of the new millennium, Aprilia revolutionizes the naked bike segment with its astonishing Tuono V4. A bike that goes beyond the wildest dreams of even the most hardcore enthusiasts - the rider who, given the chance, would use a race bike just to go for a coffee. For riders like these and for those with power in their veins, Aprilia has created a motorcycle with the indomitable spirit of the RSV4 with a streetfighter physique that is in its element when accelerating and braking with unimaginable violence, that eats up curves of any radius and swallows straights whole. The performance and features of a superbike, the agility of a naked and the legacy of an innovative concept born in 2002 with the Tuono 1000R – a bike that earned both critical acclaim and sales success – but with an extraordinary ace up its sleeve: the performance of a 65° V4 engine and the most advanced electronics available in a motorcycle today. Like the original Tuono, the V4 is also immediately recognizable with its triple headlight fixed top fairing, the distinguishing trait of a bike which, like its twin cylinder predecessor, has the body and soul of its WSBK homologated sibling, but now - as well as having two world championships (the 2010 constructors' and riders' titles) under its belt - features two more cylinders and 41 horsepower more than before, while weighing over 22 pounds less. These astonishing figures are a testimony to the technological evolution that made this exciting model a reality. The bike is available in two colors: Competition Black and Sunlit Yellow.
