I see nothing to be alarmed about. I prefer the RSV4, but I wouldn't kick that one out of bed...

Thats great!!! I'd call it more the 'hard as nails' stick rather than the ugly stick.

..although from the front it looks like an owl on steroids..

Not with that sit-up-and-beg high-bar nonsense and those dominating mirrors.

Fairings look cheap and nasty too.

But with a taller screen, full fairing, & a flatter, roomier seat it could be a new Futura; I like the somewhat quirky looks. Could tackle the new VFR head-on? It would certainly be more interesting the current Sprint, & the new Sprint GT.

APRC is based on an automotive inertia sensor platform, with two gyrometers and two accelerometers allowing the ECU to determine the dynamic state of the motorcycle and control engine torque accordingly to help the rider exploit the full performance potential of the bike in all conditions.

The APRC package includes ATC traction control (Aprilia Traction Control), with eight selectable levels, which controls sliding when accelerating out of a curve in relation to bank angle and throttle aperture, AWC (Aprilia Wheelie Control), which helps the rider control extreme wheelying by gradually bringing the front wheel back to the ground, and AQS (Aprilia Quick Shift), which allows instantaneous upshifts without closing the throttle or using the clutch. Completing the suite of four functions is the most exhilarating of all: ALC (Aprilia Launch Control).

Simultaneously pressing both buttons on the joystick on the left hand handlebar arms the system, as confirmed by the specific message on the display. From this moment on, all 162 horsepower of the beast from Noale are ready to slingshot the Tuono V4R like a missile as soon as the rider releases the clutch, unleashing the astonishing power onto the tarmac through

Oh my god it's Streethawk..

and having read all the bumph on the firstlink, methinks I want one, just for all the whistles n bells and buttons to press. Not bothered about riding it, I just want to play with the buttons..
