Aprilia Tuono 1000cc Apr '07 (07)
Overall Rating:
Review
AWSOME!! is the only way to start this review of the Aprilia Tuono. If you want to beat up sports bike on country roads this is the bike for you, you show it the corner and it does the rest, as long as you've got the balls to hold on, 16 sprocket on the front will power you through and out of corners as if you were on rails, reduce the rear tyre from a 190 to 180 and along with the wide handle bars it only takes the slightest push and you'll be changing direction quicker than you can change gears. If you do want to slow down, or you have to break for those sports bikes that can't quite get round the corners without crossing the white lines, then the front full floating discs only take the effort of a finger. This is by far the best naked on the road, power, handling, breaking, overall performance is second to non.

Aprilia RSV1000

I have been riding bikes for 25 years and have owned ridden and to my shame sometimes crashed a multitude of various types of motorcycle. Yet have not found any bike that gives back as much feel power and sheer grin factor as my 02 RSVR.
I rode it on the Cannonball run in '06 all round Europe with no discomfort,and had very little difficulty keeping up with and passsing {mainly on corners} other newer Jap bikes.
Why spend loads on the latest jap bike when the RSVR is still as good plus has Ohlins, Oz wheels, carbon fibre splashed around and attacts more attention at your local bike hangout than the latest pocket rocket.
Get an RSVR and have fun thrapping around the countryside.

Aprilia RSV1000

Top class bike, man size bike for real world enjoyment for use 2m plus, and even roomy two up.
Takes a little time to reboot the brain to slow corners after the fours , but thats soon overcome to use to the max the torque of the big twin powerhouse,great sound effect come as standard.
The parts are well made and of high quality so all seems rosey for the future, go on getttt ittttt!!!!

If you are going to by an SR50 do not buy the DI-Tech version it is rubbish. no dealers or bike mechanics will look at it and when i found one it took them 8 weeks to fix it i have just got it back and it has already broke down. ( you will notice if it is a DI-Tech because it has no kick start)

Aprilia RST Futura 1000cc Apr '03 (03)
Overall Rating:
Review
Now this is a seriously underestimated bike. When it was launched it was overpriced, had dubious styling & Aprilia had various woes that made them a less than secure choice, for many riders. Which is a shame, because Aprilia got it so right with this one.

Comfort;
Very comfortable (beats XJR for seat comfort), with a relatively short reach to the bars & the pegs only a little way back. The seat is to die for. 2 hours in the saddle is easy, you'd run out of fuel before it started to bother you.

Performance;
With about 113bhp from the 60º Rotax V twin, the rev counter never pauses from 2500 revs to the red line (10,500) in top. This would be about 155mph, plenty. The gearing is a little low, but that makes red light drags much more fun.

Handling;
Showa USDs up front & Sachs unit behind (with a remote pre-load adjuster). Get the suspension dialed in & it's excellant. Not up to a sports bike's speed & agility, but not too far off either.

Economy;
Not bad, I averaged about 43mpg over a year.

Braking;
Again. Decent & progressive from 4 pot Brembos. Usual caveat, use braided lines & it'll be sharp.

Down sides;
Like every vehicle there's something to moan about. On the Futura it's the charging circuit & a cheap fuel quick disconnect (QD). Aprilia skimmped on the wiring & one particular connector when creating this bike, that can reslut in a dead bike at the side of the road. BUT, it's an easy fix. The QD is made of a plastic that gets brittle with age & can break VERY easily. Again easy fix.

Up sides;
It's a very distinctive bike, which makes it a bit exotic & special, though that can polarise opinions.
The clocks are gorgeous, with blue back-lighting (with adjustable brightness) & various LCD pie-chart displays for; engine temp, fuel, ambient air temp along with the usual clock, odo etc. On a related note, I think the speedo is more accurate than most too (but that could be just my perception).
The screen is very good at protecting you, but there does tend to give fair bit of turbulance around the helmet.

Lastly, it's a hoot to ride! If you get one, you'll not be disappointed
