US publication Ultimate Motorcycling tested the 2026 Aprilia Tuono V4 Factory 1100. Sitting at the top of the V4-powered hyper naked category, it delivers uncompromising, pure sport performance. The outlet describes it as "the purest expression of excess on two wheels."
The V4 naked Tuono is one of the rare naked bikes that can genuinely fight on a circuit too. The engine, sharing blood with the RSV4, roars the instant you twist your right wrist on corner exit. A higher bar actually makes it easier to build an aggressive riding stance. Few bikes wear the compliment 'excessive' this well. This is a bike I think you can enjoy without hesitation.

Hyper nakeds like this seem like a class where you need to brace for some serious upkeep costs too.
With this much praise piled on, it starts to feel a bit like a puff piece, honestly.
What kind of bike category does 'hyper naked' actually refer to?
It's a stripped-down naked bike running a supersport-grade engine — extreme on both power and handling.
Feels rare for US media to praise something this unreservedly, must mean it's genuinely that polished.
Calling it outright the pinnacle of hyper nakeds suggests this model's got some serious potential packed in.
Calling it 'the purest expression of excess' is about the highest praise you could give the Tuono Factory.
Aprilia's V4 has racing pedigree baked in from the start, so this kind of praise makes sense.
