2014 Aprilia Tuono APRC V4 R

The Ferrari of Super Naked Motorcycles

2,300 miles (just broke in): Perfect condition and riding. Adult owned, never ridden on track or laid down.

The number one super naked bike in the world. The same frame and engine as the World Moto GP Winner, its sister bike the RSV4 but with higher handle bars and geared slightly different so that it is enjoyable on the street. It is also one fourth to one third less to insure. The price of insurance is the same as most cruisers.

Tuono translates to "thunder" in Italian.
999 cc
V4 engine (has unbelievable sound and power, Aprilia put a valve in the exhaust to pass db noise laws at a set rpm and then the valve opens up)
6 speed
170 hp
407 lbs (has more power to weight ratio than a Bugatti Super Car)
0 to 50 mph in 2.9 seconds (stock)
0 to 100 mph in 5.1 seconds (stock)

And Brembo Brakes to stop

It is equipped with gyroscopes and an accelerometer for the APRC system (Aprilia Performance Ride Control)
Three ride modes: Road, Sport, and Track (controls how much hp is released in different gears and rpm)

Eight traction control settings for each ride mode: this controls the rear wheel spin when cornering

Three wheelie control settings and off: this controls how much the front wheel will come off the ground, linit the bike to 25 degrees, and also set the front wheel down softly if you release the throttle

Three launch control settings: this is designed for the track (I have never used or been on a track) to make your starts perfect without controlling the clutch

Quick upshifting: turns off spark plugs for a millisecond and allows for upshifting without pulling in the clutch

Please take a look at the reviews for this bike, it is unbelievably good and I have never read one where it is not number one.

The bike is 100% stock except for the tidy tail (eliminates huge license plate holder) and gel driver's seat.

Just had the oil changed.

Includes both keys and manual.

I am relocating with my job and will not be taking the Aprilia with me.

Much better than Yamaha R1, Honda CBR, Kawasaki Ninja, Suzuki GSXR, BMW, KTM Super Duke, Triumph Triple R, and the Ducati Monster and Streetfighter, but I am biased.

The Japanese oddity to naming teams

Wed, 28 Jul 2010

Whenever the calendar shifts to a major Japanese race, such as the Suzuka 8hr, one of the more amusing things to do is glance down the team sheet This years highlight for me has to be team Moto Bum, with other stand outs including aprilia D.D.BOYS, Team Etching Factory Yamaha and MITO MOTO & e'freaks Honda. Looking back through the ages some of the great Japanese team names have been Burning Blood Racing Team, Dog Fight Racing and Team Moto Space amongst others.
