This bike looks amazing, and it is almost everything I would ever want... If Aprilia just could make a model that is in the mt09/z900 range it'd be perfect for any kind of riding.

picking up a tuono factory next week if you would like to test ride and do a updated review. love the channel

Great review. Had this exact same bike for a couple of months now and am about to do the first service. I commute in the Paris region and do a lot of city riding and some weekend twisties. I love it overall. The only weak points I've found and the back brake is weak, there are vibrations in the mid to top of the rev range and I have had indicator problems. I will probably add heated grips and the slightly higher wind shield. But it sounds great, handles beautifully, and looks fantastic. Had more people making positive comments then on any of my past bikes. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun commuter and weekend machine.

@TK-cl1jm 2 года назад

Fantastic real-life experience, thanks for sharing! Buying one next Spring, was wondering about that larger windshield, and also thinking about heated grips. I hope you post back here what you end up doing, and how it works out. Cheers from Vermont!

@tonydare7614 2 года назад

@@TK-cl1jm hi, I actually ended up selling it! Although it was not due to problems but because I like in Paris and it's impossible to get out of first gear in town and even third unless you go on motorways. I bought a Fantic Caballero 500 and love it. Hope you enjoy whatever you buy

Good review. I have the RS 660 and comparing to my 765 Street Triple (track version), it is a "crackin wee bike". Overall I rate the RS 660 as a 7/10, the 765 Street Triple would be a 8/10.

@BikesofRye 3 года назад

I think I would likely agree with this

@paulconnell1309 Год назад

Nice review. Very specific commentary on the chassis and handling.Thanks and also thanks Andy. A car hit my 2020 Street Triple R. Unlikely to be repaired for me by the insurer. I am thinking of the new Tuono 660 Factory. I ride around the city most fine days and enjoy twists but not insane speeds. The Aprilia is a bit more in price than a new Street Triple R where I live. What are your thoughts?

Mid range bikes are fun, allows you to really work through the gears. I’m only 185 lbs. and don’t see myself ever riding a liter bike personally. The Striple RS is more than enough bike. Good review of the Aprilia, hope to see you on more bike in the future! Didn’t you mention something about a track day awhile back?!

Great video as always matey... My thoughts - Yamaha MT-07, £6'899 || Triumph Trident, £7'195 || Aprilia Tuono 660, £9'700 || Street Triple 765RS - £10'700 The Aprilia is a beautiful piece of Italian Exotica & that's what you're paying for. Personally, & of course my view is biased, If my price range was around the £10'000 my heart would still be drawn to the 765RS. And if I was really budget focused I would get the MT-07 & save myself nearly £3'000 over the Aprilia... You are paying to own an High Tech / Low displacement Italian beauty... I am pleased she exists.

@BikesofRye 2 года назад

Great comment from you as expected and yes totally with you there... Aprilia are filling a gap in the market though I believe but I reckon the Yamaha R7 will sell extremely well in comparison to the Tuono 650 just because of price I suspect. I would be hard up to chose between the two engines too

@@BikesofRye Still holding out the next gen 765RS will come with a 6 Axis-IMU & Cruise Control... 135BHP / 140BHP would be a welcome increase as well. One can dream - ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ If a little Aprilia now comes with a big boy Electronic Suites then I want one damn it....

@aluisious Месяц назад

Intentionally lugging the engine doesn’t test “fueling.” On/off throttle transition and responsiveness to small inputs in lower gears would test that.

@life2.0beginandwin67 2 года назад

Hello, and good morning Bikes of Rye. A quick question to ask, if I may.... I have ridden bikes on and off for many years, but never over 100cc, and now I've done my test in the UK, I am looking at a 660 Tuono, or a v2 streetfighter as my first bike. Now money no object etc.. How feasible is it to get a V2 streetfighter, and ride it in rain mode all of the time... circa 100bhp, than getting a Tuono which is circa 100bhp all the time. Yes this may sound very vain, but I am drawn more to the Ducati as of the looks, styling, and road presence, but need your expert opinion on whether rain mode V2 will be the same as full power Tuono. Thank you.

@MH5tube 7 месяцев назад

Gotta comment on price. At least in the US, the Tuono is $10700 / Factory is $11k. They're currently marked down to $9000 and $9500 near me. That falls right between the 790 Duke (still 105hp here) ($9200) and 2024 Street Triple R ($9999) below, and the Street Triple RS ($12600) and 890 Duke ($13k). The MT-09 SP is only a few hundred more than the 660 Factory, but getting one of those is nearly impossible

@@BikesofRye to be honest on the road you don't really notice any difference. I prefer the wind protection the RS660 offers. The RS660 is not a slow bike by any means yes it can run out of breath but you have to be on it, and let's face it when your doing that your breaking the speed limits anyway. Love them both but happy with the rs660

@anxiousappliance 10 месяцев назад

ABS Traction snd a couple of modes - what do need? But if you need more, the new Japanese are right up there. The answer to price also has to do with volume. aprilia, Ducati - these are cottage industries relative to the Japanese.

@-Cubido 2 года назад

Does the bike feel somewhat smaller than other bikes? It seems like it is kinda small compared to other bikes in size

The bike feels length wise that bit shorter. There isn't much room to slid back and forth on the seat. Though it doesn't effect comfort in my honest opinion

@TK-cl1jm 2 года назад

It does have a slipper clutch. Maybe something to do with the engine braking setting?

@GearoffMotorcycles 3 года назад

How does it compare to the street triple?

@BikesofRye 3 года назад

The Street is noticeably quicker, better brakes and more focused suspension set up to be a road/track bike. The Tuono is more road friendly softer machine yet packed with great electronics. Though you do have to consider there isn't much difference in price in the U.K between the Tuono and the Street so the Tuono is pricey...

@toshy 3 года назад

@@BikesofRye Better brakes on the Street Triple?!?!?!? The Tuono you had for the test drive must have had faulty brakes, I can't find another reasonable explanation for what you said. No offense, Triumph makes great bikes, but the brakes on the Street Triple S are pure crap, and the ones on the S and RS are still a bit worse than the ones on the Tuono/RS660.

@BikesofRye 3 года назад

Brakes were definitely not faulty and I didn't compare the brakes to my Street Triple... but if I am honest the brakes on the Street Triple offer more power and bite without question

@toshy 3 года назад

@@BikesofRye All right, I see you point. They might be set up a bit different on the S/RS Striples, to have a bit more initial bite, and indeed all Aprilias have rear brakes that are set up to feel lazy (lacking a better term).
