Alright ladies? Got to say, I'm liking the look of the new bike....a lot! Every so often i have a pang of regret over selling my F, especially as I can't find anything interesting to buy here (Dubai), but deep down I know it was the right thing to do. I think!

Well that wiz very interestin an fun.....
Had the V4T, wi the aprc mularkey on it, oot fur a good test drive the day...man, whit can ah say......this bike is RAPIDO and handled like on rails.....very quick turn in.....an the drive oot the corner is awsome. Totally changed mah initial thoughts oan it as it does look good in the flesh, an definitely has a "ahm gonna get ye" face oan it wi they twin lamps starin oot!
it took a few miles take get mah heid roond the quickshifter an stop backin the throttle off a bit between changes but once mastered, jist pin it back, keep changin up an fook me does it pull!
Ah had it in Sport mode but wi the max traction control oan but was still a bit feart o tryin tae test the TC oot as was goin that fast as it wiz bein too busy concentratin oan gettin roon the corners!
and that V4 sound thru an open Akra....Jeez!!!!!.. never mind "a little *** wee"..ah nearly blew mah load ower the tank...gotta be the best sounding bike I have ever heard in years! Once yer above 6-7k revs the thing sounds like a jet fighter, very addictive.
Negative point for me was the bar position was a bitty low feelin with quite a lot o wrist pressure, if ah had one would fit Gen 2 type bars which are a bitty higher swept or risers o some sort......
.....and at speeds above 85 the wind blast was a real issue unlike mah Gen2 so reckon needs mair o a screen....particularly as this is a machine you will NOT be drivin slowly!!!
Was oot for aboot an hour an wiz only just gettin a hang o thing..but as the insurance excess wiz 1500 quid was probly best a handed it back afore it got me oot ma zone an intae bother !
Also scoped oot the yellow paint job one as weel....note the seat covering is maistly yellow and looks like it will mark an look dirty wi use in no time...however the yellow scheme still looked ace tho.
Would ah buy one? Oh yes definitely if ah had the dosh...but like Nob said at the start o the thread might be worth waitin a bitty for the alleged Factory job (if it ever appears). Sayin that the current ones are mair bike than any o us will ever need.
Ah need another fix ........the sound oh the sound!!!!

When you think about it, we`re all lucky b`stards really, cos we all know what our next bike is going to be........without even having to think about it ! :thumbup
I mean, I`m new to the religion of the T, so I aim to keep it for some time yet, as I enjoy each and EVERY ride on it........but it`s nice to look forward to the T4 in the future.
Absolutely WELL DONE Aprilia !!!!! :roost

Its not out yet but according to my dealer should be launched at some point next year.
The only photo on the internet hinting at what it may look like is this one here
Which doesn't do it any justice! :eek
I personally loved the V4 Tuono & the sound.....was oh so addictive & that was with the stock can!
If I had the money I would be seriously tempted, but as I don't.... & already have 2 T's will hold on for the time being as life is already all good! :thumbup

First and foremost. The gold frame can **** right off. It was the single biggest mistake of any bike design ever. Anyone with even the slightest sense of taste and style should and do ******* hate it.
That picture on the visordown website looks alike a standard bike, with a RSV4 tail unit on it and new forks. I'm not sure we can call that a Factory. Where are the Brembo MonoBlocs? Let's face it. The Factory will be alot more special than that obvious test mule. It ain't gonna look much different. It will have APRC ABS, Ohlins front and rear, an Ohlins steering damper and Brembo radial MC and MonoBlocs. It will probably share the RSV seat unit and will come with extra carbon and different colours. How difficult is that to predict?
