Aprilia Tuono V4R Naked Bike

Aprilia-Tuono-V4R-MotorcycleAprilia does it again with the beautiful Tuono V4R naked bike.  I’m not normally a big fan of naked bikes but damn this Aprilia is singing to me.  I guess the fact that this isn’t a true naked bike, more like 1/4 clothed motorcycle, is what got my attention.

Steve McQueen was a fan of going fast on four wheels as well as on two wheels. He loved Triumph motorcycles and rode one in the famous 1963 movie The Great Escape that was made to look like a German military BMW.  Now Triumph is releasing a tribute Steve McQueen edition bike to look like the one from the iconic movie.

The Triumph Steve McQueen Edition motorcycle will be based on a Bonneville T100 and will be limited to 1,100 units.  The bike will feature a military green matte paintjob and stenciled Triumph logos on the fuel tank.  The bike will come with a single seat and include Steve McQueen’s signature below the seat.
