Aprilia Tuono 660 Factory Review | Cadwell Park road and track Vlog 

Love the Tuono 660 Factory. I've had mine for a few months and driven over 7000kms on it already. It's abselutely amazing. Handling, comfort and noise. Wouldn't trade for a thing. Came from a cbr1000rr. The Tuono Factory is much more fun, and so much prettier. Plenty fast with the short gearing and up and down Quick shift! Did I mention the noise, it's insane. RU-vid does not show the noise at all. So much base in real life. Sounds like at moto gp bike at high revs. Been driving for 8 hour trips, still super comfortable. BTW: The wheelie control sensitivity follows the traction control level. So it can be adjusted along with the traction control. Just not seperately. On max level the bike barely lets you apply any throttle. On minimum you still have some traction control and it will allow some wheel lift. The on/off option is additional and gives you the option to turn wheelie control off whilst still keeping traction control on. I use this on my individual setting. Traction control and wheelie control has 8 levels. Engine brake has 3 levels. Abs has 3 levels (last one deactivates rear abs). Engine map has 3 levels. Wheelie control also has on/off seperately from traction control as mentioned. You have commute mode (pre set mode, more like a rain mode). Dynamic mode, good active mode to drive in. Individual mode, set everything to whatever you want. Then you have the two race modes (one of which you can set up everything yourself). In race mode you can adjust traction control from level 1 to 8 whilst driving. This is adjusted with the cruise control buttons (cruise control is not available whilst in race mode). In race mode you also have a lap timer that can record many laps which you can see in the screen afterwards. If you have any questions just ask.

Loving it. Been about 30 years since I rode my BMW 100R in the UK and France, and wow, things have come a long way since then. In my 50s, this 660 Factory is probably about right for me in New Mexico and Arizona. Great honest review.

Great review. Been waiting for decent review on this bike for a while. Nice one

Great job! I love hearing about newbies with very limited track time due to either time in the saddle or a lack of a racing background. 👍😎🇦🇺

Nice comprehensive review. Seems like a decent fun bike.& I'm definitely interested. Just hanging on see what the RS660 Factory is like first.

I’ve a 2021 660, not the factory. I enjoy it a great deal, and I imagine that the slight bump in power is great. I had to buy a quick shifter and I didn’t get an IMU for it but I felt like it isn’t necessary for everyday riding. I am sure on a track that would be cool. If the standard tells me anything, it’s that continuing to improve the tuono 660 even in small ways is worth it but not totally necessary. Improvement is the right thing to do even though it’s a great bike to start with.

Nice review and good riding skills in track. Considering changing my street triple rs, but lots of posts online about iffy reliability on the new 660 engine and electronics borne out by the failed Misano shifter and then on this one going into first. Not sure if I’m brave enough and the Triumph is fault free. Keep up the good work 👍🏻

Cracking bike and very decent going Toad 🙂

Excellent video Toad

Hope it's good I've literally just ordered one an hour ago

WOW AWESOME AMAZING VIDEO FANTASTIC ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Great looking bike.

Noticed that you had the AEM on level 2. Level 1 is full beans on the engine power. Wonder if you could have found a little more time.

Thanks for the video I’m mulling over getting one of these bikes

Very Nice

Not to shabby laptime 1:52… doing the same laptimes on my 2022 Hyper SP 👍🏻

Great vid, would be interesting for you to take the RS, for a comparison.

Good angle camera

Great video! Didn't you experience any limitation with ground clearance? I mean pegs scraping at high lean angles? Thanks.

I'd love to have a go on this round Cadwell park, not sure the other riders would be too pleased with my slow arse though.

How is it on the highway and local roads?

I think they should have gone with Ohlins front & rear on the factory model!!

nice video, is it wise to trade in tuono 660 for this factory? have 2021 model

As a city bike, I am very curious. 👍🤪🇨🇦

5am and yet it looks like 10am 🤔

Great bike and very capable but surprised they call it a ‘Factory’ with out throwing carbon, Ohlins, Stylema’s and Akrapovic at it. A ‘S’ moniker would have been better for this upgrade over the standard RS.

It's a shame that the Aprilia 660's miss multi-level wheelie control... I was just watching an old Lamb Chops vid on the Speed RS at Oulton and it's basically the with that... the bike just looked frustrating to ride fast. Flexible WC is what you need to let you pin that throttle and keep accelerating, it's the 21st century way!

Cadwell doesn't look like a good track for bikes. It has limited runoff. It looks dangerous.

What a pathetic livery, might be even worse than my V4 factory. Aprilia raised the price of their bikes by 10% and cut the design department by 90%.
