VOLUME 58 ISSUE 34 AUGUST 24, 2021 P91 M erriam-Webster defines "Dynamics" as the following, "a branch of mechanics that deals with forces and their relation primarily to the motion but sometimes also to the equilibrium of bodies." Perhaps there's no finer description of motorcycle riding itself, but I can think of no other motorcycle to which this term applies more fittingly than the Aprilia Tuono V4. Often regarded by those in the know as the finest naked bike on the market, the Aprilia Tuono V4 has been in a constant state of evolution since debuting a decade ago in 2011, when it morphed from the beautiful, but aging and heavy Tuono twin-cylinder model derived from the RSV Mille superbike. The Aprilia Tuono V4 has always been absolute gem of a motorcycle, and thus we shouldn't be surprised to see it isn't changing drastically for the 2021 model year. It's a body nip and tuck here, a new swingarm there, and revised electronics for the rider aids, plus the 1077cc, 175 horsepower V4 now has that all-important Euro 5 compliance sticker all the manufacturers must attain if they want to sell their wares for the foreseeable future.
