anyone have the current speed r.
Thinking of changing my MT10 this year, owned the previous speed and always loved it, great road bike, has anyone had any issues or things they would change which they are hoping the new RS has addressed.

It looks lovely and the reviews sound like it’s a reasonable step on from last year’s bike - but £13,250 seems a bit steep...

I think £13k unfortunately is about about on the money now, It does come with nearly everything on, Although leaving off the QS and blipper is annoying, They are doing it As a add on, Probbaly something hopefully the dealer will throw in.

You done many miles on it?, I use mine a couple of times a year going abroad, Done it before on the older model speed with no issues, what’s the fuel range like

I've done 10,000 miles in 12 months with no problems. I'm getting on average 150miles from a tank but I'm not gentle with the throttle lol.

The tuono and the rs are very different bikes.

The rs is a lot more civilised and the tuono is a bit more of a hooligan

I was going to reply last night pretty much exactly this but fell asleep

Aprilia is rough around the edges. It's more raw as a bike

The RS with the latest figs and toys now fitted would be a great all rounder and still pretty quick. It won't be SD or Tuono fast but you don't always need that








Except me... I absolutely bloody love it haha

I know they are 2 different bikes but they’re still nakeds ish and still going to be ridden by a fat old tt who’s about the same speed on all bikes! Just love them both for doing the same sort of thing, the new RS looks lovely but then the tuono is amazing....oh first world problems
