Tuono V4 1100

The Tuono V4 1000 is now the Tuono V4 1100. In the everything-is-bigger-and-better category, Aprilia says that the upgrade was done to increase...“drivability”!?!?! Who are we kidding - it was done to put more power to the grip and smiles per mile.

The updated V-4 makes a claimed 175 peak horsepower and 88.5 pound-feet of torque, numbers that should make it the strongest naked bike in production. Drivability indeed!

Russian troops enter base housing US military in Niger, US official says
Russian military personnel have entered an air base in Niger that is hosting U.S. troops, a senior U.S. defense official told Reuters, a move that follows a decision by Niger's junta to expel U.S. forces. The military officers ruling the West African nation have told the U.S. to withdraw its nearly 1,000 military personnel from the country, which until a coup last year had been a key partner for Washington's fight against insurgents who have killed thousands of people and displaced millions more. A senior U.S. defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Russian forces were not mingling with U.S. troops but were using a separate hangar at Airbase 101, which is next to Diori Hamani International Airport in Niamey, Niger's capital.
