Happy with v4

Papa said:

I'm still undecided between a late Gen 2 or the V4. I am nervous about the potential for gearbox issues with the early V4's. Is there a recall list anywhere for the V4's?

Gearbox was never a recall.
Stator issues was never a recall.
Inlet cam wear was never a recall.

Ask me how I know :lol

However the £20 inlet manifold was a recall.........Imagine that.

I have spent a LOT of money paying for known Aprilia faults on my 2012 V4 Tuono, but it is still without doubt the best road bike I have ever ridden.

It doesn't compare to the V2, it is a totally different animal.

If you want a permanent grin on your face and an expression like one of those dudes that rides the special bus to playgroup..........you need a V4.

Mine is now heavily modified and is in the process of further mods.

I've owned it for 3 1/2 years and done around 26k miles on it.

Absolute beast of a bike.

Whichever one it is I'll be moving from a ZZR 1400.

Ok its all gone south.. Bike has been sent back, due to some issue over the HP long winded story,, they basically didn't tell me they wanted a 3500 cash payment on top of the hp. ?? when it was deliverd. driver had no idea but just expected payment.. i refused and told them to jump and take bike back as non of it had been passed by me ,,thought the deal was to good to be true lol

So its back on the V2 until i find a decent deal on a v4.. but to be honest im in no rush now..

Can you say what company you were dealing with? It would save me some time by avoiding them. Thx.
