YES TO TUONO

The story of another stellar addition to the XBnp Garage, the Aprilia Tuono V4, and how we got it ready for another epic roadtrip.

- KARAN SINGH BANSATTA

XBHP'S journey has been a combination of dreams, willingness, work, and fortune. After coming this far and still being on the move, we cannot discount any of those facets of our fate. Despite the pivotal role of the former three, we consider ourselves fortunate to have had the opportunity to ride so many motorcycles, and own a few exceptional ones too! As you can probably tell from the photo and the philosophical bit about owning some amazing motorcycles, we have gotten ourselves another. This one hails from Noale, a first for xBhp.

What isn't a first though is the engine oil. Just as all the motorcycles we have owned have been powered by Castrol POWER1, our Tuono V4 1100 is also powered by Castrol POWER1 ULTIMATE.

In the previous piece, where we discussed how the PowerTrip360 and had it serve as a precursor to our current roadtrip, we also mentioned a new motorcycle. In this one, we show you, with great pleasure and pride, xBhp's latest acquisition- Aprilia Tuono V4 1100. Among the many motorcycles that have been a part of the xBhp Garage, Aprilia was a notable absentee. We are thankful to God for letting us take care of that little blip on our resume!

Before we bring to you all the masala from the ride itself in the next issue, we wanted to familiarize ourselves and our readers with this Noale hypernaked. The decision to get one wasn't a complicated one, ever, we have just been waiting. Now with the launch of the RS 457 in India and the hopes of getting a baby Tuono soon, we thought it was the right time.
