EICMA, the world’s largest motorcycle show, was held in Milan, Italy from November 5th to November 10th, 2024. At the event, Italian motorcycle brand Aprilia announced the 2025 models of its super sports models, the RSV4 and RSV4 Factory, which are equipped with a water-cooled, 4-stroke 1,099cc engine and feature full cowlings. *As of 2024, neither model has been released in Japan.

The RSV4 is a full-cowl supersport model that incorporates a generous amount of MotoGP machine technology and is Aprilia’s flagship model, equipped with a water-cooled, 4-stroke, V4, DOHC, 4-valve, 1,099cc engine. Based on this RSV4, the Tuono V4 and Tuono V4 Factory shown in the photo have been given a naked-style look with the addition of a half-cowl and semi-up handlebars.

The engine is designed for use on the streets as well as for touring, as well as for sports driving, and has lower maximum output than the RSV4, a genuine sports machine designed for speed on the circuit, with an emphasis on torque in the mid-range.

As its name suggests, the “Factory” version is a high-end model positioned as a factory specification (works specification) of the “Tuono V4.” Based on the standard version, the Tuono V4, it is equipped with full-fledged equipment such as an electronically controlled semi-active suspension made by Ohlins.

The new 2025 model features revised exterior graphics and detailed shapes. The headlight shape and front cowl spoiler have been updated to the same design as the new RSV4 (2025 model), resulting in a slimmer design.

The engine is the same as the previous model, a water-cooled, 4-stroke, 65° V-type, 4-cylinder, DOHC, 4-valve, 1,099cc. Maximum output has increased from 175ps/11,350rpm to 180ps/11,800rpm. Maximum torque has also been increased from 121N・m/9,000rpm to 121N・m/9,600rpm. The new throttle body and exhaust system have been inherited from the RSV4, and a 5hp power increase has been achieved while maintaining the ride feel that is focused on the mid-range.

The traction control system, which can be adjusted in eight stages, works synergistically with the new ASC (Aprilia Slide Control), which can be adjusted in three stages, further improving the riding experience of the 2025 model.

The Tuono V4 Factory is based on the standard Tuono V4 and comes equipped with an Öhlins electronically controlled semi-active suspension as standard. The semi-active Smart EC2.0 suspension system technology allows for easy adjustment of the fork, shock absorber, and steering damper.

The Tuono V4 Factory also comes with a wide range of exclusive accessories, including an upturned handlebar for a more comfortable ride, high-quality carbon fiber exterior parts, a TPMS sensor for monitoring tire pressure, and a high-performance slip-on carbon fiber exhaust system.

Aprilia TUONO V4 1100 Factory | Intense acceleration inherited from racers! But it’s well-trained and easy to handle.

Aprilia’s RSV4 1100 Factory won the Gold Award in the import category at the 2nd Japan Bike of the Year 2019 selection held on December 19th. The test ride vehicle this time was the naked version of that bike. The engine and body are essentially the same for most bikes. How does the TUONO ride, stripped of its fairing and equipped with pipe bar handlebars?

Thunder in Italian. Immerse yourself in the exquisite handling of the Aprilia Tuono 660.

Aprilia’s streetfighter “Tuono” series now includes its first mid-range model. Based on the RS660, which features a newly developed 659cc water-cooled parallel twin engine, the Tuono boasts a more street-friendly character thanks to a simple change to the ECU, increasing maximum output from 100hp to 95hp and shortening the secondary reduction ratio. The electronic control system is also largely the same as the RS660, making this a rare, luxurious naked bike in the mid-range class.

Aprilia Tuono 660 test ride | Contrary to its appearance, I felt that it was versatile enough to be used as a footbridge.

This is a mid-size model of the “TUONO” series, which means “thunder” in Italian. It is a naked sports bike with the same basic structure as the RS660, which has a reputation as a hot super sports bike.
