Now the Tuono 1000 R Factory has picked up where the victorious Tuono Racing left off, with even better technical characteristics and performance.
With the arrival of the new Factory version, the most racing naked and the meanest on the road clearly demonstrates its racing spirit. The Tuono 1000 R Factory delivers power that is simply unthinkable for any other twin, with a chassis that is more sophisticated than ever and easily on a par with the best superbikes. The new Tuono 1000 R Factory is a truly professional machine for all those riders who demand the state of the art in technology and the absolute maximum in performance. Expert riders with a taste for the exceptional will know how to appreciate the record-beating performance of this stupendous street-fighter.
A new engine, new suspension, ultra-light wheels and a host of carbon fibre components have boosted performance and reduced weight to a new record for this type of bike. As with the RSV 1000 R Factory, from which it has been derived, the Tuono 1000 R Factory is designed and built for “total ridability”, a concept that has always characterised high performance Aprilia motorcycles.
Thanks to the many improvements introduced, the Tuono 1000 R Factory sets new standards for performance nakeds. The following are the most important of its unique characteristics.
· The latest generation Magnesium 60° V twin engine with bigger exhaust valves
· New, larger diameter exhaust pipes
· New external catalytic converters located nearer to the collector pipes for enhanced efficiency and environmental friendliness
· New injection mapping
· Fully adjustable Öhlins Racing 43 mm fork
· Fully adjustable Öhlins piggy back monoshock
· Anodised finish, forged aluminium wheels
· New carbon fibre belly pan
· Carbon fibre side panels
· Carbon fibre mudguards
· Carbon fibre spoilers
· Dedicated fasteners with countersunk screw heads
The Tuono 1000 R Factory is a special bike for special riders, people who appreciate exclusive design and build quality and who also know how to derive maximum pleasure and satisfaction from the amazing power and handling of the world’s most competitive naked. When it was first introduced, the Aprilia Tuono 1000 R set new standards for all big nakeds. Now, the Tuono 1000 R Factory has raised the bar even higher, establishing the perfect synthesis between quality, technology, and finish.
The performance of the Tuono 1000 R Factory has been boosted to record levels by adopting the same latest generation engine that powers the RSV 1000 R Factory. Now developing 102 kW (139 HP) at the crank and a maximum torque of nearly 11 kgm at only 8,500 rpm, the Aprilia Tuono R Factory is the uncontested leader of all naked twins.
An even more sophisticated chassis enhances the bike’s exceptional dynamics under all possible conditions and enables you to perform like a true professional not only on the road but on the track too.
STYLE
The bike’s styling is like its performance: extreme. The Factory takes the whole Tuono concept to its logical conclusion, even in terms of design. With its aggressive graphics and sporty colour schemes, it is simply impossible to mistake the Tuono 1000 R Factory. The most stunning advanced technology is laid bare on a bike that is proud to show exactly what it’s made of. The fork, frame, swingarm and wheels are all rigorously exposed, because on the Tuono 1000 R Factory, fundamental to performance means fundamental to style. The aggressive looking nose fairing with close-mounted twin headlights is a universally recognised feature of the Tuono, so naturally it remains an essential part of the new, mean looking Factory. The nose fairing has been tested in the wind tunnel to provide maximum wind protection for the rider and to generate lift at high speeds, keeping handling light and precise at all times.
The new engine’s record performance would not be possible without super-efficient aspiration. The Tuono’s Air Runner ram air intake plays a major role in ensuring effective engine breathing. The Tuono is the only naked equipped with this exclusive air intake system.
The Magnesium Evolution 60° V twin engine
The 1000 cc Magnesium Evolution 60° V twin engine is directly derived from the unit that powers the RSV 1000 R Factory. Only minor modifications have been made to boost torque and muscle at low revs. In its latest form, this is the top performing engine on any production twin. Its exceptional power output is not only fully usable but is always delivered with Aprilia’s legendary reliability.
New, larger exhaust valves (increased from 31 to 33 mm in diameter) improve engine breathing, as do the new, larger diameter exhaust downpipes. Thanks to these advances, the new Magnesium V twin puts out more power than ever, achieving an amazing 139 HP at 9,500 rpm, as well as an impressive torque of 10.9 kgm at 8,500 rpm, a figure that clearly tells you what sort of muscle you can expect even at low engine speeds.
The new silencers feature catalytic converters located as near as possible to the collector pipes. This solution has cut converter activation time by 50% and further slashed emissions, keeping them well within the threshold imposed by Euro 3 standards. The second exhaust pipe section has been extended by 200 mm to improve torque at low revs.
In parallel with optimised through-flow and combustion dynamics, the new bike also incorporates improved ignition and injection mapping designed to improve power delivery at all engine speeds.
The following are the most essential characteristics of the Magnesium Evolution 60° V twin engine:
· New, optimised cylinder heads with larger diameter valves and one spark plug per cylinder
· 57 mm throttle bodies with one injector per cylinder
· High strength conrods
· Reduced overall weight thanks to a large number of magnesium engine parts
· Close ratio gearbox
· Dry sump lubrication system with two trochoid pumps and separate oil tank and oil cooler
· Mixed gear and chain valve timing drive with the two gears (one per timing chain) located in the crankcase to reduce cylinder head dimensions
· Anti Vibration Double Countershaft (AVDC)
· Hydraulic action clutch assisted by Aprilia’s patented PPC (Pneumatic Power Clutch) system to control rear wheel bounce during fierce braking
The Tuono 1000 R Factory has inherited the RSV’s ram air duct, with an intake just below the headlights. The intake remains exactly on the bike’s centreline, where ram air pressure is highest. Air reaches the generous 10.3 litre airbox through the Air Runner duct (which also supports the nose fairing and instrumentation) under enough pressure to allow the engine to develop its full power potential. Thanks to the Air Runner system, airbox overpressure increases with speed, leading to a 3% gain in maximum power at top speed.
An engine management unit made in conjunction with Siemens VDO controls all engine parameters. The ECU receives real time signals from 15 parameter sensors, processes them and controls the actuators in real time too, keeping the engine running smoothly at all times.
The flash EPROM already contains racing mapping for unrestricted exhausts. Aprilia service engineers can therefore easily load it on request from customers who intend to use their bikes exclusively on the racetrack.
CHASSIS
In line with Aprilia practice, the frame incorporates aluminium-silicon castings and Peraluman 450 pressings in a super-sophisticated structure that is more rigid yet lighter than ever before. Weighing in at less than 10 kg (9,650 grams to be precise) the frame of the Tuono 1000 R Factory is the lightest on any bike of this type.
The swingarm features a special double member design that provides a clear passage for the new twin silencer exhaust system, and weighs an amazing 4,860 grams, well under the swingarm weight benchmark of 5 kg.
Another factor that contributes to the bike’s unrivalled handling is its minimal unsuspended weight. The Tuono 1000 R Factory is equipped with ultra-light forged aluminium wheels, manufactured by Aprilia specifications. The dramatic weight saving achieved by these fundamental components has minimised inertia and created a bike that is more responsive and precise than ever in establishing trajectories through bends. Lighter wheels also mean less resistance to acceleration and braking, and therefore even better performance.
Superb handling on the track is also ensured by fitting the new Tuono 1000 R Factory with 190/55 rear tyres, specially selected to promote manoeuvrability and responsiveness without penalising grip. As with all sporting Aprilias, however, the Tuono 1000 R Factory is actually homologated for use with three different tyre sizes: 180/55, 190/50 and 190/55.
SUSPENSION
Maximum performance on the racetrack does not allow for compromises in suspension. That is why the system fitted to the Tuono 1000 R Factory is state-of-the-art. An Öhlins 43 mm upside down fork guarantees unrivalled action and precision. The unit is obviously fully adjustable in spring preload and compression and rebound damping, to permit all riders to find the most suitable settings for their own level of skill and experience.
The Öhlins monoshock at the rear is also fully adjustable and specially selected for its smoothness and precision action. Like the forks, this unit makes a major contribution to the road and track handling of the Tuono 1000 R Factory.
BRAKING SYSTEM
The Tuono 1000 R was already fitted with the best braking technology on the market: Brembo Gold radial calipers. The Tuono 1000 R Factory benefits from the same advanced system. The front calipers are fitted with four separate pads (one per piston), made from a special sintered material, to double the number of leading edges in the pad-disc system and deliver greater braking power for the same effort at the lever.
The two 320 mm floating steel discs feature a narrower braking track to minimise inertia and weight, and are fixed in place by Aprilia’s exclusive six spoke flange.
The rear braking system is Brembo Gold too, with a 220 mm stainless steel disc and a caliper with two 32 mm pistons.
The front and rear brakes both use aeronautical metal braided hoses to eliminate the sponginess inevitably associated with conventional brake hoses and to ensure maximum braking precision.
COMPONENTS
The Tuono 1000 R Factory is a special machine in every way, as is every component on it. Made from top quality carbon fibre, aluminium and magnesium, only the best components available have been used to ensure that the bike is not only amazingly powerful, but extremely light and absolutely unique among nakeds.
The following components deserve special mention:
- The new belly pan, side panels and mudguards are made from carbon fibre, contributing (together with the forged aluminium wheels) to a new record weight for this class of bike (181 kg dry weight*).
- The dashboard is a mixed (digital-analog) unit. It receives all its data over a single electrical system CAN line, and acts as an integral part of the autodiagnostic system thanks to a built-in computerised memory unit. Among other functions, the dashboard provides a self-timing function for use on the racetrack, complete with 40 lap memory. The dashboard is extremely modern and compact in design and the entire system weighs only a few kilograms. All functions are controlled from two practical push-buttons incorporated in the lighting switch block on the left handlebar.
The dashboard’s LED backlighting can also be adjusted to three levels of intensity.
- The headlight cluster is derived from that of the RSV, and incorporates four light units for perfect night-time visibility.
- The ignition key is internally coded, and the ignition block is fitted with an engine immobiliser as standard.

RS 125 OVERVIEW
Aprilia has always been the undisputed leader in 125 cc supersports, a market segment in which Aprilia has pioneered new concepts and advanced solutions, and developed technology that others have struggled to follow. Like all Aprilia motorcycles, the RS 125 has benefited from the sophisticated technology that has been developed over years of success in GP racing, and quickly transferred into production. Over the years, the RS 125 has forged a reputation as the standard setter for sports 125’s. Sales success has come naturally too, with the RS 125 topping the sales tables on major European markets. The RS 125 is the inevitable choice of riders entering Sport Production racing. And rightly so, because when the competition gets tough, there is simply no other bike like the Aprilia RS 125. The Aprilia RS 125 offers young riders the best in components and equipment, and a concentration of technical refinements worthy of a flagship supersport.
The following are just some of the main features of the Aprilia RS 125:
• tried and tested yet extremely sophisticated Rotax two stroke engine;
• super-rigid aluminium frame and swingarm derived from Aprilia’s vast GP experience;
• upside down fork;
• front brake with radial caliper and four opposed pistons;
• RSV 1000 R style fairing, windshield and tail;
• RSV Factory style, crossed spoke wheels;
• analog/digital instrument panel with multi-functional computer;
• RSV Factory style, forged steering yoke;
• oval section racing silencer with riveted end plates;
STYLE
The mean, cutting edge look of the new RS 125 tells you that this is a professional racing machine. The styling of the RS, like that of all Aprilia sports bikes, is the result of painstaking aerodynamic research.
The fairing, for example, was perfected by extensive wind tunnel testing, to guarantee great wind protection and minimum drag for maximum racetrack efficiency. The fairing, windshield and tail not only look mean and aggressive, but allow the RS 125 to reach a blistering top speed, eliminating all turbulence around the rider and allowing man and machine to become one.
The latest generation twin halogen headlight also adds to the mean look of the new RS 125, and delivers a high power light beam for enhanced visibility and safety at night. The sleek tail looks exactly like the tail of a GP racer. Thanks to the effort put into the design of the RS 125’s tail, not even the passenger seat disturbs the bike’s impeccable lines.
The crossed spoke wheels are not only lighter and more stylish, but safer and more reliable too.
ENGINE
The powerful but reliable, single cylinder, two stroke, Rotax-Aprilia engine needs no introduction. Over the years it has won a reputation for being unbeatable on the track and dependable on the road.
Still today, this engine boasts technical solutions that are state-of-the-art for two strokes, including a crankcase reed valve intake, liquid cooling, an anti-vibration balancer shaft, and an automatic mixing system. The RS 125’s engine has been constantly updated over the years to keep in line with the latest emission control legislation without penalising performance. A catalytic converter and precision carburation has won Aprilia’s single cylinder two stroke homologation to Euro 3 standards. And the amazing thing is that this has been achieved without losing out on performance: the Aprilia RS 125 engine remains the reference point for all 125 cc powerplants.
CHASSIS
Without a doubt, the most advanced single component on the RS 125 is its frame. Developed from Aprilia’s vast experience in GP 125 racing, the RS 125 frame is made from cast aluminium alloy with cross-ribbing reinforcement. Despite its extremely light weight, this advanced structure achieves amazing torsional rigidity, setting the standards for Aprilia’s competitors.
The box section, aluminium alloy swingarm has the highest torsional rigidity of all production 125 cc swingarms. Differential side members enable the exhaust to follow a path that maximises engine performance and enables more acute angles of lean to be achieved on bends without risking dangerous contact with the asphalt.
The suspension too plays a fundamental role in ensuring not only the RS 125’s performance, but its safety and comfort too. The RS 125 can rely on an upside-down fork that has been optimised for maximum performance on the racetrack while also delivering a more satisfying ride on public roads.
The rear suspension features rising rate linkages based on Aprilia’s 125 GP racing technology, for excellent traction and superb comfort even over uneven road surfaces. The hydraulic monoshock that provides the damping for the swingarm is also adjustable in spring preload.
BRAKES
Like any self-respecting supersport motorcycle, the RS 125 has to have the best when it comes to components. The braking system is the best available, and designed for maximum efficiency under competitive riding conditions. The front brake is a genuine state-of-the-art, high performance system with a radial caliper and four opposed pistons. In addition to the 320 mm front disc, the system also incorporates a radial master cylinder and aeronautical hoses for maximum precision and unrivalled braking power. The rear disc is 220 mm in diameter and is also equipped with metal braided hoses for perfectly balanced, high performance braking.
EQUIPMENT
The Aprilia RS 125 is packed with prestige components. Compact and impressively light in weight, the instruments include an analog rev counter and a multifunctional digital display with an on-board computer that can be operated from the handlebars. The speedometer, rev counter, coolant temperature gauge and exclusive racing chronometer put you in total control. The on-board computer even has provision for interfacing with the optical finishing systems used on racetracks.

The primary drive is the focal point of the absolute Mana range. The Sportgear manual offers the
rider a best of altered active modes:
• Sequential mode: The addition decides if to change accessory by application the accepted ascendancy on the pedal or by acute a about-face on the handlebars as desired. An electronically-controlled servo apparatus acts on the capital caster which changes the gearshift approach with seven accessory ratios amazingly quickly. Alone during deceleration, if the addition does not manually change gear, the engine automatically changes down accessory application the Semi-Sequential action and preventing the minimum RPM beginning from traveling beneath the set limit. Another admired aid to safe riding.
• Fully automated approach (Autodrive): the adult electronics ascendancy aggregate and the CVT manual keeps the engine active at best torque dispatch for optimum analeptic and acceleration. The addition can accept from three altered mappings:
1. Touring: for those who wish a softer ability supply and minimum ammunition consumption;
2. Sport: for best achievement and quick acceleration;
3. Rain: on wet or glace anchorage in best safety;
Semi-Autodrive approach alone allows the addition to change down gear. This is advantageous for overtaking at best torque revs or if benumbed down a acropolis if engine braking is required.
You can about-face from Autodrive to Sequential approach and carnality versa at any time and in any benumbed conditions. The handlebar gearshift ascendancy can be disabled from the dashboard.
With this abstruse solution, the Mana GT 850 adapts altogether to any blazon of alley and offers
relaxed canoeing or animating sports benumbed depending on the rider's needs or wishes.

· The latest bearing V60 Magnesium engine with Ø 33 mm bankrupt valves;
· Beyond bore bankrupt headers;
· External catalytic converters, installed nearer to the attack pipes for bigger ability and account for the environment;
· Euro 3 homologation.
Constant abstruse development has enabled Aprilia's engineers to backpack on convalescent the achievement of the motorcycle that already represented the accompaniment of the art for accompanying butt supersport machines. In this latest RSV 1000 R, the V60 Magnesium engine is not alone cleaner but even added powerful, acknowledging its acceptability as the world's mightiest assembly twin. The modifications bare to accomplish homologation to austere Euro 3 standards accept not chock-full Aprilia binding addition 4 application out of this amazing engine. The latest powerplant delivers 105.24 kW (143 HP) at the crank to advance the bike to a top acceleration of over 280 km/h, aided by bigger aerodynamics and even added able engine breathing.
Even the anatomy has been adapted application the acquaintance acquired from a year of all-embracing antagonism that has apparent the RSV defeat all rivals on the world's banal antagonism circuits.
This angry engine and anatomy go duke in duke with top-quality components, and an even college akin of authority equipment, agreement the Aprilia RSV 1000 R in a chic of its own not alone in achievement but in superior to amount arrangement too.
V60 MAGNESIUM ENGINE
The 1000 cc V60 Magnesium engine has continued been the accepted setter for assembly twins, but connected change and development at Aprilia's R&D administration accept now fabricated it even better.
33 mm bankrupt valves and new, beyond bore bankrupt headers accept been adapted to advance engine breathing. In this anatomy the V60 Magnesium now puts out even added power, topping 143 HP at 10,000 rpm after accident any of its allegorical account and accepted Aprilia reliability.
The new glassy accomplishment silencers accept catalytic converters installed nearer to the beneficiary pipes. This band-aid has bargain advocate activation time by 50% while added abbreviation the akin of bankrupt emissions. The Aprilia RSV 1000 R conforms calmly to the austere banned appropriate for Euro 3 homologation. The additional area of bankrupt has aswell been continued by 200 mm to addition torque at low revs.
Optimised aqueous dynamics central the butt active has been added by bigger mapping of the accumulated agitation and ammunition bang systems to accomplish college ability throughout the advantageous rev range.
The V60 Magnesium breathes through the "Air Runner" activating air beat amid in the average of the adenoids fairing. This has been redesigned to access air breeze to the engine's "lungs". The Air Runner beat is amid absolutely area activating burden is highest, absolutely forth the bike’s centreline.
From the scoop, an air aqueduct passes through the council accomplished to yield ram air to the acceptable 10.3 litre airbox.
A asphyxiate valve central the duct, controlled by the engine ECU, regulates breeze to accommodate the engine with air at absolutely the appropriate aggregate and pressure. The engine accordingly packs absurd bite appropriate through its continued acceleration range, enabling the rev limiter to be set at 11,000 rpm.
The boss barrage of the V60 Magnesium is deadened by two cogwheel aggregate Helmotz resonators to abate assimilation babble at the a lot of analytical engine speeds.

A new console blazon air clarify reduces burden bead and improves engine efficiency.
The engine's ammunition bang arrangement appearance 57 mm burke bodies and one injector per cylinder.
Thank to the Air Runner ram air scoop, burden in the airbox increases as the bike accelerates, accomplished to a 3% accretion in ability at best speed.
A new bearing engine administration unit, fabricated in affiliation with Siemens VDO, controls all engine parameters. The ECU receives absolute time signals from 15 constant sensors and processes these to ascendancy the actuators in absolute time too. (Parameters cover air and coolant temperature; atmospheric, airbox and oil pressure; Lambda sensor oxygen level; crankshaft, camshaft, and rear caster speed; burke position, ancillary stand, clamp and aloof position; and array voltage.)
The beam EPROM already contains antagonism mapping for complete exhausts. Aprilia account engineers can calmly change mapping on appeal from barter who intend to use their bikes alone on the racetrack.
All engine abstracts passes through a CAN (Controlled Area Network) band to the apparatus panel, which aswell acts as a analytic terminal. In the absurd accident of a malfunction, it is a simple job for account engineers to analyze problems. The CAN band uses alone two affairs to address all data. This simplifies the electrical arrangement awfully as able-bodied as abbreviation the absolute weight of the bike.
The RSV 1000 R aswell has a abutting arrangement gearbox, to accomplish it easier to accomplish abounding use of the amazing ability of the V60 Magnesium engine.
