Reigning Italian brawler, the Aprilia Tuono, has returned to the streets. And this time, its coming at you with a V4R.
Formidable. Especially when you consider V4R represents two more cylinders, a stampeding 41 additional horses, and 22 fewer pounds.
And knee-shaking formidable when you realize that this new engine is an adapted version of Aprilia's superbike, the RSV4, and also includes throttle-by-wire and an APRC electronics package.
With a bit more street heft thrown in by shortening up the first three gears for maximum torque (82 lb-ft) at 9,500 rpm.
Wow.
The bad boy of Italian motos just got badder. Riders beware.
