Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory 2018

There may already be some power naked bikes that cut an excellent figure on the race track with incredibly powerful engines. But with its Öhlins chassis, the many superbike components and this incredible performance, the Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory is currently the best naked bike on the racetrack and therefore also arrow-quick on the country road. What is most amazing is that the respect-inspiring 175 hp and 121 Newton metres of torque behave in such an uncomplicated and easily controllable way - the Tuono Factory is not only fast but also incredibly fun!
Ducati Monster SP 2023

The SP version is clearly the more expensive, but also clearly the better Ducati Monster. Everything fits together perfectly, because it is typically Ducati sporty. The fully adjustable Öhlins suspension (including the fork in Swedish gold!) fulfils its purpose perfectly, the Brembo Stylema braking system grips vehemently but not unpleasantly and the seating position, with its slightly more forward lean, is sporty but still comfortable. Even the engine fits very well into the concept of the very sporty mid-range naked bike - it wants to be revved and delivers the most power at the top end. If you are looking for a flaw in the Monster SP, it is most likely the jerking of the V2 at low revs, but true fans of the 90° V2 engine will not be offended by this at all. The price is not a problem either, as the Italians pay a pretty high price for the performance of the SP version.
