The Aprilia Tuono V4 X has to be one of the<br />
coolest naked bikes we have ever seen,<br />
and it’s such a pity that the world will only be<br />
graced with 10 of these Italian masterpieces.<br />
The standard switchgear has<br />
made way for a pod of racing<br />
buttons on each handlebar.<br />
The controls too, are billet<br />
aluminium pieces. Other<br />
performance bits include the<br />
Öhlins semi-active electronic<br />
suspension and an up/down<br />
quickshifter.<br />
Aprilia has also introduced a<br />
track configuration of the Tuono<br />
V4’s electronics (including<br />
a new dash layout). How have<br />
we not talked about that gorgeous<br />
paint job yet? Aprilia<br />
has gone retro with the colour<br />
scheme, using the famous<br />
“Bol d’Or” livery that was used<br />
in the 2006 endurance race on<br />
the Aprilia RSV1000R Factory.<br />
The Tuono V4 X is priced at<br />
41,500 dollars, roughly translating<br />
to R800k - yes that is a<br />
ridiculous amount of money,<br />
but if we had it, Aprilia could<br />
gladly take it!
