As I've said before Aprilia need to engineer a tad more longevity & reliability into there bike's, Stator probs, hot start issues, coolant manifold issues, valve clearance issues etc, before I'd even consider a new 1100, don't get me wrong we all have to pay the price for performance ( Which is less reliability ) but in this day and age we should be able to expect both....By the way I still love my V4.

This will be my first Aprilia so will see on reliability. Have been thru almost all other brands--jap bikes, Ducati, Guzzi, mv agusta, Harley , KTM , Maico, Husky, BMW, etc. All had strong and weak points but it seemed the BMW ,which had a positive reputation, visited the dealer a lot. The 1100 Aprilia base V4 engine has been around for a number of yrs so hope they have worked out most of those issues you mentioned. Looking forward to finding out.

Agreed, I myself have had 3 Speedtriples T509, 955, & 1050 all have been absolutely faultless, never had 1 problem with any of them...Just hope my V4 will do them justice.

Well if yer happy with honda why would yer buy a aprilia,but you cannot compare the two,The performance of a tuono v4 is far far beyond yer honda vfr.Between my youth and l we have 6 v twins and 1 v4 and had no problems with any, and all have been risen hard.

It would be because that's what it was built for.

Recently sold my 13 MY Tuono V4. I sold it after covering 5000 hard miles including several track days never had a single problem with it. I have my V4 1100 Factory arriving in April so will have lots of goodies off my old bike for sale soon.
