Just traded my Triple 675R (MY2016) for the Tuono 660 Factory even tho i'm a "Triumph hooligan". Looks are amazing, specs are amazing, and the sound aprilia just got on it, sounding more like a V4 than a twin. It's true that it seems expensive but you just got the RSV4 electronics, full led and a lot of cool stuff. The engine doesn't feel like a twin, it likes to be reved like a bigger engine. I recommend everyone to test it, you'll get surprised by this bike.
You nailed it. I had a Daytona 675 as a daily/track bike for years and had planned replace it with a 765 street triple, but this 660 Factory is the perfect street bike in terms of ergos, power and handling. 2500 miles on my 2022 and no complaints (1st Italian bike). It pulls like a 2-stroke once you hit 7K revs
I have a 2016 Triumph Street Triple 675 RX, owned for 3 years. Thinking of selling it this year for a Aprilia 660 or a RSV4. Rode my buddies Tuono last year and loved it.
Lol at the amount of Street triple and Tuono comparisons or trades. I was looking at this bike and still would love it as a second bike. But the 10,995 for my new street triple 765 RS in carbon black was an easy decider
What stands out 4 me that its an attractive tidy unit up there with sfv2 . Lacking in real punch low down. Might as well pay 2 grand extra and get the sfv2. Mt09 or xsr900 are a better buy for what u get.
If it is a comparo, the 23 xsr900 has all the bells and whistles , a powerful 900 triple, and is light.-IMO The Japanese, in general, are more refined regarding engineering and can slap on electronics with the best of them when they want to. This is a very pretty machine with its own niche.
I had an 890 Duke R when I got my V4 Tuono, I considered the 660 but was 20hp less than the KTM, I think a Street fighter V2 is a good hp step up but I've always wanted an Aprilia so got a '21 RR a bit rarer than all these factory's running around.
Great to see Robbie and you on the Shore Tamaki! Thanks for the review. Strong recommendation from a V4 rider. I like the look of the Tuono 660 Factory and will be heading over for a test ride sometime. Hey where can you find twists without an 80 km limit on the shore. Not my bit of town.
Tough one. I’d prefer the 790 engine and stuff but I don’t like how it looks. I dunno eh. If I had to choose I’d probably take the Tuono. If I could have the 1290 or 1390 duke I’d take that hava
I have a 2021 Tuono 660 with the IMU and quick shifter added. Also, I have had the stock suspension set up for my size and weight. I rides very nice but, I have been looking at the factory version. The only difference would be the suspension upgrade. Have you ridden the standard version? And do you think the suspension upgrade is worth upgrading from the standard?
I have bought the Factory version. I've ridden the normal 660 and it is a day and night difference. Not only the suspension is a big difference, but also the additional horsepower and different front sprocket. I would buy the factory to be honest.
Great vid. Just traded my 09 ZX6R for the 23 Tuono 660 Factory. Dont regret it a bit. But at 10.42 you made a big error on facts. The answer to that question is YES. ;)
@@mterry2utube at first I thought it was from the UK and was wondering why a brit would put the prices in $ (was thinking maybe it's a youtube thing) :)
Oh wow, just hit play and already I want one. I mean the big V4 is on my list too, just not sure I'm ready for it yet :) Can't wait to watch you thrash the nuts off this thing haha. 🤩
I went from the V4 Tuono to the 660 and at first, I was on the fence. After I found out how to set up the electronics I was much happier with it. It has an awful dead spot between 5,000 and 6,000 rpm. I find second gear to bog and passing cars at relative slow speed and if you need power, it is not there. I don't know what the gearing in second is, but it is not good. Once I set the Dynamic settings the way I like them the bike came alive. I only ride it in Dynamic, but second gear still sucks. You have to ride it between 6,000 and 10,000 rpm that is the sweet spot.
Here in Germany you can buy a Tuono 660 Factory for around 10.000€ and the Street Triple RS for around 13.000€. And if you buy a nearly new Tuono 660 Factory you will pay under 10.000€ - so that should be considered when comparing this one to the Street Triple RS or the MT09 SP (14.000€ in Germany), it's in another price range ☝. You pay 3.000-4.000€ less for the Tuono 660 Factory and that does not sound as a bad deal to me 😉
