When Aprilia presented the Tuono In 2021, he made it clear that it was not just another special version. Noale’s signature took as its starting point the already spectacular Tuono V4 Factory and developed an extremely exclusive edition, intended for collectors and the most passionate fans of the transalpine brand.
Production was limited to only 30 units for the entire world, following the philosophy of the RSV4X released 1 year earlier, whose circulation of only 10 units sold out practically instantly. History repeated itself again with the Tuonowhose 30 motorcycles found owners in just a few minutes.
This is how special this brand new Aprilia Tuono X 2021 is
The truly striking thing about this auction is the state of conservation of the motorcycle. This is unit number 18 of the 30 manufactured and, according to the seller, it was purchased new from an official dealership. Aprilia to remain stored since then. It was never registered or used, so it still has its original transport box and has not received fuel, oil or coolant.
That practically factory condition makes it a true time capsule, although anyone who intends to start it will probably have to carry out a complete tune-up before starting the engine for the first time.
The Tuono At the time it represented the most radical version ever created based on the well-known Italian naked V4. Its 1,077 cc V-four engine developed nearly 221 hp thanks to a specific exhaust SC-Project and recalibrated electronics for circuit use. Added to this were abundant carbon fiber “trinkets”, important aerodynamic work inspired by competition and reduced weight compared to the standard version.
Furthermore, the motorcycle does not arrive alone. According to information published by the prestigious auction house, Iconic Motorbike Auctionsthe buyer will also receive various original accessories supplied by Aprilia. Among them are the official exhibition mat, a rear stand, a specific cover for the motorcycle, a helmet decorated to match the Tuonoa USB stick with documentation and an additional exhaust silencer.
All this further increases the interest of a unit that practically retains the same appearance with which it left the factory 5 years ago. It is curious that such an exclusive motorcycle, completely new and without a single km, has not yet skyrocketed its price in the auctions.
However, the collector motorcycle market does not always follow a predictable logic and it will be the last days of the auction that will determine the true value that fans are willing to pay for one of the Aprilia most exclusive ever built. How would I say Gandalf“run you fools.”
