Still one of the best looking and best sounding bikes ever made.

Now I want to see the 44Teeth "Ridiculously Expensive Super Bike Battle".

I've gps tested the 2017 Tuono and the speedo is very accurate.. so you probably may have seen 200 mph.. I have one in the garage now and can confirm it's a handful on the commute 😂

Looking forward to the battle: Aprilla 1100 Factory vs Ducati V4R vs BMW S1000RR

@Fagan Clearly you are one of the most competent motorcycle KZfaqrs out there. Therefore I know for sure that this will be the best review of the the new RSV4. Thank you for enlighten us

I'm not sure why manufacturers bother bringing other motojournalists to bike launches. 44Teeth does SUCH a good job. If you (44T) have the opportunity to review the new Tuono with the electronic suspension, please do so. It is my current dream bike.

It does NOT look old at all, it looks timeless. Absolute beauty with those wings, yes I love them

This is what you guys do best and why I will continue to watch. Great review!

Your content, when it comes to cars or bikes, is amongst the best on not just the internet and the likes of KZfaq, but also TV and the MSM channels. Perhaps even THE best. Great stuff.

Should be called the RFV4STE (Spinal Tap Edition) - turned it up to 11.

"Arrabbiata, great pasta dish" 😂😭. 10/10 review guys, great insight, and good laughs as usual. Fagan, you sure know how to push a bike. Top job, thanks guys. Can't wait to see the v4r, s1k, 1100 shootout

Stumbled across your channel a couple of weeks ago......you deserve way more subs then you have at the moment👍 Your almost as good as Jeremy,James and Richard for how you guys relate to each other👍👍

This bike is one of my dreambikes! love the review guys, always doing a good job!

My buddy sold his V4S after he found out about this bike. But now he is shying away from supersport bikes in favor of super nakeds and STs. So hopefully the dealers around here have a demo because I can't afford one and don't really want one but would love to give one a go. Great work guys. Baron, you still have an open invite to stay if you end up out here in the Bay Area. Al you are welcome as well.

Great review Al. Such a shame we couldn't see and hear an onboard lap with you. Bit concerned about Chris and your Mum! 👍

Love the aprilia looks and sound more than almost any other bike. Brilliant review as always. +1 like

I’m so looking forward to the tuono review, the 1100 engine is a absolute peach

Great review!! Are you guys gonna review the ZX6-R as well? Would be awesome

It doesn’t matter when u guys released these videos, for the sport bike fanatic this is just heaven. All I want for Xmas is an RSV4 1100 FACTORY

It says a lot the amount of times a bike is compared to the S1000RR these days. Who would have thought that back in the day when BMW at least in Sweden was equal to a policebike or for old tourers. Great review as always 👍🏻

As a HD rider you're guys unbelievable to watch...wish you all success in the world...fun you already have:) Ride safe

Great review from what has to be the best motorcycle channel in the world.. Keep it coming lads.

Great vid. One point, the echoey “chat room” sounds a bit jarring. Love you guys. Can’t wait for your inevitable Amazon TV series!

I been waiting for this! Have a great week peeps! 🤘🏽

Why does everyone ham on its looks? I think it looks great and sounds awesome.

These videos from 44Teeth from the last year or two lead me to believe that the motorcycle industry is pumping out absolute gem after absolute gem. Even more so than in the mid 2000's. And those bikes are still good. So here's an idea for a video. Most fun (not best!) motorcycles since 2000 all the way up to 2019. Fun factor and possibly bang for your buck is where it's at. Extreme engineering feats are not necessarily the main point of focus - superbikes derive most of their fun from how stupendously good they are on track. But fun is a difficult thing to define. You two gentlemen have a thing for vocalising the hard to grasp. So to make a video, possibly complete with tracktime on the respective bikes, of the most fun motorcycles since 2000 will be one giant whopper of a project. One that will pay off, because if my assumption is correct, you lads regularly being invited to racetrack events, unveilings, first impressions etc means to me you are becoming high profile motorcycle journalists. So for you to motivate your reasons for a comprehensive list of great bikes may very well elevate that status even further. I am a 2017 1290 KTM SDR owner, and I was pumped to find out it was your #1 choice for the best bikes of the year video. That's the kind of feeling it would evoke for people to hear their choices further reinforced.

I've been waiting for this :D

Well done, that is how a review should be produced. Thank you!

@ 14:55 The wheels are producing "Rigidity in Space" from high rotation speed. From the Cambridge Dictionary "the quality or characteristic of not permitting any change".

This channel is amazing. Down to earth, solid reviews by two people who simply love bikes. Fantastic Keep the videos coming

Loved the sound effects made by you

God I want a spot on this channel, living this kind of life would be the shit. Entertaining people, giving bike reviews, riding bad ass bikes....damn that would be a satisfying life

Best bike reviews on KZfaq.

Great review as always guys, thanks! Can you please explain better on the Traction Control which you don't find it very good as opposed to most of the media saying Aprilia electronics are really good? very curious on this, thank you

Lovely jubbly! I get what you're saying about dealer network etc...but in a way that adds to the experience as it's a rare bit of kit. Every town has a Mercedes dealership, but where would you take a Pagani for it's service? I'm a Ducati fan...I've bought three in the last year (admittedly none were Panigale's) but I'm going to buy either a Panigale or an RSV4 this year subject roadtest, and I'm actually hoping the Aprilia comes out top.

Again a great review!

Once this looks like the 600 concept my money is theirs

Those winglets look so much like an afterthought, it just doesn't look right! Great review as always!

For a bike that has it's styling from ten years ago, this still looks pretty good to me. Aprilia tend to put steel garbage cans, for exhausts, on it's stock bikes. The Akrapovič looks fantastic.

Now we need to see a shoot out V4R vs RSV4 at your favourite circuit 👌

Hello person scrolling down the comments have a nice day

I mean, yea a lot could have been done with the styling, but why? It still looks so good...

👍 Cracking vid as always, still from side on it looks one of the best bikes out there, just needs some carbon race fairings without lights! 😍

Hello 44Teeth ! I’ve a question about the RSV4 and Tuono ! I’m french so sorry for my mistakes sentences ;) For everyday what’s the best bike ? RSV4 or Tuono ? Actually i’ve MT-10SP but the V4 engine is just lovely sound so i would like change but i don’t know beetween RSV4 and Tuono ! I ride everyday and on the year i’m on 25.000 or 30.000km so i didn’t answer for my question ! Thanks for video and enjoy ! ✌🏼

Great review, still think Panigale V4 has it overall. Arbitrary question I’m trying to obtain new insurance quote for multi bike policy, I watched an interview with you with a bloke from insurance but can’t remember or find it now can you refresh my memory and I’ll give em a buzz. I’m with Carole Nash they make you feel like they are doing you a favour, Bennett’s won’t quote on one of the bikes, you think with 9 years no claims and a garage like Fort Knox they’d love to take my hard earned apparently not!

Thanks guys!

My dream bike. Will have one soon !

Great video guys !

Aprilia people say the wings are also there for brake stability allowing the fork being settled before a big braking at high speeds. Just check the other reviews for that comment.

You guys always make me laugh.....thanks you guys rock!!!

Fantastic review gent's thank you 👍

Still such beautiful looking machine. Plus it handles like a guided missile. I love this bike. The riding exp this bike delivers is why I ride motorbikes. A fuckin masterpiece.

So my 2017 RSV4RF is now getting worried !

I've got the '16 RSV4 RF. Love that bike!!! It's the best I've owned. I can honestly say.........I don't need more power. At this level, for me, it's all about the styling, and my bike looks 1000 times better than the new one......I'll keep her.

As much as i like the rsv maybe a design change ie fairing tailpiece etc, as frame is pretty damn good! I know the copperpot wings look ally. But i reckon more could have been done. Still will trade a bollock for one though!

I have a 14' v4 factory and was really hoping they would change the look of this bike... I will continue waiting for the next generation.

Maybe MV Agusta will come out with something revolutionary soon since they're kind of small like Aprilia. That would make an interesting euro superbike comparison for sure mixed in with some S1000RR

Still my favourite superbike

I feel like Al is so much more himself when crazy Chris is around!

I had a Rsv -4 2010 std, how big difference is it compared to this 2019?

Another blinding video lads. Well done.

Brilliant as usual..(Just couldn't help but notice thee door in the background which is upside down :) just sayin!)

"Take my money" like a boss

You mentioned that you both rode the new s1000rr?? In the dry? Is there more s1000rr content on the way?

Awesome review! I want one

Lovely review as always. I'm planning on taking one of these out for a test ride next week and I'm so damn excited after seeing it in person at COTA last weekend. Also, have you seen Sena's new all in one helmet with an action camera? Could be a good option for tracks that won't allow a gopro so you can get on board footage :)

Awesome quality video! 👍

To me this Aprilia looks properly sorted especially in that colour.

@5:00 Definitely wouldn’t have become bored listening to all the changes that were made. But glad you went through the main ones. Great video as always guys!

hay i have a 2017 rsv4rr and i love it how mach better is 1100 and is it worth upgrading ?

That vs the 19 bmw s1krr and v4s is what I'm waiting for!

other than the S1000rr, another competitor?? How about try the V4R or V4Speciale with the Akrapovic pipes??

State of that plug socket in the corner of the room !! 🙀

Nice review & great bike but you've touched on Aprilia's achilles heel that puts a lot of people off them, including me, their dealer network & after sales service. They're not as bad as they used to be apparently but still not there yet. I had a new RSV1000R I bought about 10 years ago from Wheels Motorcycles, who were absolutely great, but they were a very long way away from where I was living at the time. So I went to my local Aprilia's dealer for servicing etc who were total & utter shite & had a terrible attitude because I didn't buy the bike from them. They tried to charge me for free warranty work & an Aprilia rep came down & had to get involved but he bottled it & didn't really help. Put me right off indefinitely. They've long since gone out of business which is no shock or loss!

I had to laugh at 22*c being "hot". Great vid of a great bike guys

as u guys r getting older, test the tuono 4 the road.

4:00 -open class 🙏 would be amazing

Chris when are we getting a video of Fagan testing your HP4 Race ??

awesome video guys. One thing you could improve in that room is the audio.. there is a metallic noise when you stop talking that can get quite annoying. other that that 5 stars

Smegma. I had to look that one up. Great review!

I wish I was still young and strong enough to handle track days... And there is a good track near me. I pilot a piano these days though so life is still rich.

Not sure if I missed it but what was the lap time did you do? I saw on the dash 2:07,, was that the Italian dude or Fagan? Sad that Ducati won't allow the V4R to be tested directly but of course the RSV4 1100 will do better for most riders, it has more displacement and generally softer bikes are easier to ride so non-pro riders can extract more from them. A V4R on the other hand actually probably much more difficult to extract it's max potential because well, it's more hardcore. The V4S, in our group at mugello we were doing 325kp/h before braking. On that V4S I do not recall brake fade as well. A real proper test would be this bike vs the V4S with the akra. I'm sure you can just rent a V4S from a viewer if Ducati won't provide. I own a '16 RSV4 Tuono 1100 Factory and I actually don't like it, it's actually quite uncomfortable for the road for me. The Plus Minus on the left hand controls are so horribly positioned as well that I press them all the time unknowingly while riding. I know it's detuned a bit from the Superbike but the engine felt very characterless as well.

I currently have the 2015 rsv4rr in an identical colour, there is a 2019 1100 factory in a dealership near me, this is my bike + £8,000 total £15,000 the bike has done 1600 miles is the change in machine worth the extra money?

Great sounding bike and ageless look I don’t think it needs much update on the looks .

6ft 1 rider.. what's gonna be more comfortable rsv4 or s1000rr?

How future is the 1100 factory when compared it to a 2016 r1

Race ECU fixes all that snatchiness of the TC etc.

Great review of course. Do worry about Aprilia doing such a a great bike and not making it more sexy looking, it looks old fashioned. Hope it does well.

Can you really ride it on a public road? Will it go that slow?

Hi I live in USA I have 2016 rsv4 rr I think is time to go another ride so I want to now wich is better V4 Ducati this new aprilia or the bmw. Thanks

What a great review..👍🏻

Oh btw the supporting braces are the wrong way around on the door behind you 😂

Fantastic, but would get the 2019 Tuono. Now, what's a good Aprilia dealer "near" to Milton Keynes, UK? On yer bike OK? Central Bikes in London any good?

My '18 RSV4 RF LE is more than enuf for me. Although, the 1100 is freaking brilliant.

thats one of them new fancy inflatable safety suits then issit?

Love the bike but just when on earth have winglets become a highlight?

Your door is braced the wrong way it will drop and cause issues like a tyre the wrong way round. Can’t believe you haven’t noticed

i really dont know what kinda people are asking for visual improvements. sure its 10yo but itll still look stunning in another 10 years.

What an absolutely gorgeous weapon (I'm talkin' the bike here, not Statham or Sue).

I own an 18 RF and I love it dearly. THISSSSS??!?!? C'MON Aprilia! Now whats a guy to do... dammit...ugh what a hit ill take. Its like do I take a big fat hit or just keep it and add to the collection...perhaps use that as the track bike. And I told myself my next purchase was going to be a car...LOL
