I've never tried to fill my tank with an empty gas can does it work ?

for me, there's no better sounding bike than a v4 motorcycle :)

3:18 bent shift lever :-DD

Always fun watching Jamie ride.

You guys are the best vids on the web, Jamie is a f;&$in gem! You all promote responsible riding, having a good time, and aren't so obsessed with specs as a lot of riders can be. Keep up the great work chaps!

Subscribed.... Love your videos. I'm about to start bike training - going to do my direct access and hopefully one day soon get an R6 of my own. Peace

I'm not a bike guy. I don't own any and I've only ever ridden on the back of one when I was a kid. But this is my favorite show on Drive. Keep up the good work!

sold it and I regret it

Another great RA video! Keep them coming.

Jamie this is an awedome vid! Funny and great review of the Apralia! It is a monster of a bike!

I love this show!! My favorite one. If I didn't get the other videos and just got this show I'd subscribe. But since it's not its own channel I check every now and then to catch up on the latest RideApart. Thanks!!

What did he do with the gas can? I hope he disposed of it in an environmentally friendly manner!

I must have watched this video 50 times in the last week.

I would say this is your best vid...awesome bike

Mega, fellow northerner Jamie has done another good fun entertaining video. Now time for work.

I'm a Buell guy so it's difficult to impress me lol. Nothing beats the real world ergos and torque of a Buell. I look at guys on Ducatis around town and just go "Man that must suck". Not to mention I paid a fraction of the price, and my parts are STILL cheaper even after the company went under.

Where are the closed captions? That's one reason I love the Drive channel! As a deaf person I appreciated it greatly.

Interesting review right up until the silly little staged fuel thing. Don't try to be too clever.

I didn't see what comment you're replying to, but in some cars there are variable hydraulic engine mounts that behave in the way you describe. In the case of this Aprilia, and other homologation superbikes, the adjustable engine mounts are non-variable, but rather they are a set of spacers and multiple mounting options that allow the engine to be solid-mounted in slightly different locations to fine tune the handling by moving the engine weight. Adjustable swingarm pivot is similar.

"i dunno...its just stopped".....paraphrasing...."oops, I am outta gas" LOL

The mention of banana bread made my mouth water

Great video guys....I have the exact same bike and it is awesome. The best bike I have owned or ridden!

You guys are haters. I love this guy's channel. Proper motorcycle fun. Just as fun as MotoJournal and in english too!

Jamie rocks!! Great bike. Great roads. Too focused on the Porsche perhaps. But hey, was great to see another Jamie RideApart.

That thing looks awesome, competition for s1000rr?

Something tells me that if you go to the RideApart website you'll find detailed reviews of all those bikes, plus much more in-depth content around motorcycles.

That gas can is empty :D Funny episode and a nice sounding bike too. Also, going out and about on a bike without a cell phone or a backpack, that's bad.

What are adjustable engine mounts for??

I live in Azusa, awesome video guys!

i hope you guys get the opportunity to review the KTM RC8!

Jamie, what is the model of your Arai helmet? Another great show. I was out for a ride tonight too.

coooool

The day I got rid of my Aprilia was one of the best days of my life.

sounds awesome

Lol my thoughts exactly. He walks away like the guy isn't even there...

lol. I heard him say excellent murdercycle Everytime

Love the show guys! I was wondering if you guys are doing anything with some american bikes soon, like harleys or victorys. Nothing wrong with the import stuff but i love this show and i love American bikes and i would just love to know! Thanks guys!

Did you guys go up GMR?

that tail piece can be put on a tuono right?

Love the rsv4..make more video of it..

I have the 04-05 RSV-R 1000, and I love it. I've got a decent GoPro recorded vid on my uploads knee dragging w/a zx10r (knee dragging makes it entertaining, its nothing special to me. Lets just say its not my 1st time)) vid up Blood Mountain, GA. Now I love my RSV-R. It's bone stock and that zx10r WAYYY overpowers it....yet it makes up for it in rider feel. You instantly feel confident on it. That said I decided very early on...I WANT ONE. The sound of the RSV4 gave a good ide of throttle resp

on two wheels and now ride apart. Yes please! Keep making more high quality sportbike videos

I would like to compliment your sick arai helmet Jamie

Why does it sound like the revs goes up a split second between changing gears some of the time?

Usually race bikes have solid mounts= all vibrations are felt through the chassis. Soft engine mounts are more comfortable but the engine moves around sucking away hp. So adjustable engine most are soft when cruising and hard when going balls out.

Jamie to man in shop: Im out of gas 1 min later to wes: I dont know, it just stopped?

Dat accent! Luv it! :D

Where is the guy in the cafe from?

Do you reckon it's a lot of power for the street ?

Something tells me that if you go to the RideApart website you will get redirected to the HFL website, which means there is no RideApart website.

He's filling his bike with sailboat fuel...

lol @ the blooper: there goes your $800 Arai

The bike, the riding and bike review = 10 out of 10. The acting = 2 out of 10.

I was wondering....Is it a lot of power for the street?

When rideappart comes back?

Oh I wasn't referring to your Jamie/Wes comment. Jamie is awesome. I dunno about Wes as I've only just started watching. I was referring the negative "Not your best video", you had nothing good to say about it, whereas I really enjoyed it.

Nice!-👍

Love rideapart vids. More Idyllwild please.

nice video

Part of the problem is incorrect stock gearing. The bike is over geared out of the box and needs to be dropped a tooth in the front and raised one or two in the rear for street use. It was geared over 200MPH (which the bike will not do) to pass emissions/sound regulations.

Your second problem sounds more like an electrical issue, than an engine problem. Possibly your quickshifter.

BTW, if it has 3 modes, those 3 modes could have been tested or at least described in detail what they do - i´m curious what the city mode does ?.

please do a review of the kawa 300R :D

is the helmet ok

Nice

Haha I don't care that it's scripted, I love this show!

I get the impression it has a lot of power for the street...

What is half the peoples problem on here?? This was a great vid! And Jamie is one of the best dudes for the job! Doesn't just read out specs of the manufacturers web page. Keep up the good work !. And I will go to that café! What is the address???

Those are some big cats.

so basically the no fuel bit was just a segway to get the porsche in the video?

italy makes the best machines..maserati , bugati ,lamborgini, ferrari, ducati and aprilia

I love 39, i have spent a lot of time up there.

how come the bike wont run on red bull?

The best sounding engines (and that is subjective) are droning bores if unaccompanied, either by music and commentary.

What happened to gearshifter?? It's band

Yes.

Anybody else notice that when they came back with the gas, the key was still in the ignition of the bike presumably the entire time they were gone

are these bike reviews ever going to come back?

Sorry, I was a bit harsh with my reply. The electronics DEFINITELY help, I agree with that, but even still it's perfect if you lose a little traction, you can still fall off, you know? I wouldn't give someone new a race bike, that's all :)

Haha yup. Thankfully Erik Buell Racing will be releasing 3 new models this coming year. All for under 20 grand with the 1190 rotax motor.

A car on RideApart?

as usual, Wes is crying! jamie i commend you for having to put up with him.

Alright, screw you Jamie. Don't ever call me ever again... ...HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

This or the Yamaha MT10? Hard choice.

that explains why you liked this episode...

did he say murdercycle? :)))

That's what a bike should sound like

I heard it's a lot of power for the street. A few times, actually.

3:08 Did he say "Wow, what a motorcycle" or "Wow, what a murder cycle"? Hahaha

Anyone know the road at 2:22?

Those cats were really hungry.

The camera makes awkward people even more awkward. Perhaps shoot the bits with the nerds in slow mo, it makes everything cooler.

So that bike runs out of gas after 20 miles ?

anyone with some wrenches and enough time can do it, it just involves dropping the engine and either changing a spacer or removing/reattaching a bracket on a different mounting hole.

so wes has 2 aprillias v4s

Is that period blood on the back of the tank?!

Now, where does it say that this video is a review?

Actually I had a Ducati before my Aprilia and that was damn good bike. Its why I bought Italian for my next, silly me.

i want one but with my 6 feet 6 inches its way to small for me :( the vtwin is way bigger and perfect size for my length

upvoted for cats :3
