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.
