They're both superb bikes. There really isn't much to chose between the two, although the Aprilia has a major MAJOR advantage...noise.
Neevsy sums it up best, which one do you prefer the look of?

Yes, but get a factory version and if you can, the 2017 one
175bhp, downblipper, better ohlins front and rear, updated dash etc. Stick an Akrapovic or Austin racing if you want to go really loud and you're done.

Anyone else detest the phrase "bimble"?
Where the hell does it come from and can it go back please? Everyone on mcn's #ride5000miles Facebook seem to use it.
...sorry

It's definitely an upgrade.
I also called this change when you first got the S1000R
Just watch out for tractors, they have a habit of writing off Tuonos and breaking legs!

So, new Honda 1000cc naked bike has been released...
A new contender for the super-naked crown? A stripped down fireblade with 170bhp and a set of bars?
Hmm... not quite.
143.5bhp, 76.7lbft torque, 212kg wet weight, LCD dash, QS on the R model, aaaand that's about it.
It looks interesting, quite cool in fact. More of a muscle bike than a super naked though.
As a comparison, my (launched in 2006, so 10 years old) 2009 Tuono supernaked has 139bhp, 83lbft of torque, and about 200kg wet weight. Was hoping for more from Honda...

Went for my follow up appointment with the consultant after work... turns out I’ve torn one disc, and slipped another to the point it’s touching the nerves in the spinal column.
Next option... injection therapy which is as painful as it sounds
I have had 13 injections in the spine next step for me hopefully microwave the nerve ends I have also had 3 injections in the knees this is my 33 rd winter If i remember correctly riding bikes, when I was younger I did not protect myself against the weather which hasn't helped.

I had the choice of injection or surgery. Decided on injection first or I’ll be out of action for 4 months.
They’ve missed an opportunity once again, they failed big time with the cb1000r.So, new Honda 1000cc naked bike has been released...

it shouldn’t be too expensive to change either, maybe 3K if I’m lucky.

Yeah, I think they knew they couldn't compete at the S1000R/TuonoV4/Superduke 1290/MT10 level so they've tried appealing to another type of buyer.
In that case, get the 2107 version
£11k for a old version or a couple of grand more for this:https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2017-17-...925971?hash=item4b2bb678d3:g:A38AAOSw09xZ94gB

I quite like it, i'm hoping the higher spec version looks a bit more mean. Though it needs to be priced well.
One things for sure though, it's not a super-naked. Which makes me wonder whether they'll release something else with +20hp, Ohlins and Brembo.

Holy ugly batman.

And people thought the MT10 tourer was a bit mad
Soldato
It's got clip ons with risers, much like any other sport tourer - VFR, K1300 etc.
And it's based on the H2 so it was never going to be a looker, I just love the crazy idea of a 200bhp comfy sportsbike with panniers
Man of Honour
That sounds very low only 111mph? All bikes from the big manufacturers are limited to 186mph from the factory.This actually has hard paniers tooWonder if like BMW on the K1300S/R kwak put a speed limit, I think 180km/h is what mine states....
