Aprilia RSV4 Tuono - latest spy pictures

Motorcyclismo.it have spotted the Aprilia RSV4 Tuono on the Misano race track. In its most clear snaps, the Tuono reveals its intricate detailing. The bike in the pictures doesn't have Ohlins suspension and Brembo monobloc radial calipers which were seen on the bike which was spotted by another website earlier. This bike uses a cheaper set of underpinnings, which suggests that a cheaper variant of the bike will be available.

The Tuono retains the angular low-slung exhaust of the RSV4 superbike. While the test bike doesn;t have much of a paintjob over it, expect the finished product to have exquisite colour coating.
