Aprilia's Secret Weapon! Why Don't More People Buy The Tuono 660?

I have a 2021 acid gold Tuono 660, and it's magnificent

[@madguitarist63]

RS personally. Fit my riding style a bit better and I like how easy it is to tuck in track or cruise on the road. May be the best blend of road/track bike ever produced

[@AngryDragon11]

@@madguitarist63 and that's fine. The Tuono fits me and my riding style so much better, mainly because I'm a little older, haven't done track days (even though the Tuono is more than capable), and because I'm 6'4" I don't want to be crunched down in the traditional sport bike riding position. They are both spectacular bikes

[@madguitarist63]

@@AngryDragon11 I'm 6'1 with a 6'4 wingspan. So if I was any taller in the torso, it may be more of an issue. The RS didn't really force you to tuck which is nice, however, it is definitely more aggressive on the wrists versus the tuono

[@AngryDragon11]

@@madguitarist63 for me it was the "goldilocks" thing, I test rode both the RS and Tuono before buying and the Tuono just fit me, perfectly. The scallops in the tank fit my legs perfectly, and thw reach to the grips were perfect for me. I don't really notice the vibration Spite mentioned in his video though, at least not through the pegs

What timing! I just got back from the first ride of my new Tuono 660! I'm a new rider and the bike has less than 20 miles so it was a very calm ride, but it was very fun just because of the "new" factor. Btw, I agree that Tuono deals can be found. Aprilia had some nice incentives in February, including $1,000 off pre-2024 Tuonos (mine is a 2022). Can't believe how much bike I got for the money.

I'd say it's because the bike doesn't look great,doesn't sound great,has more electrinics than I'd like and resale in Ohio looks bad I see them listen for 6+ months commonly. At what I'd call fair prices.

[@Vogel335]

Why don't more people buy it? Well that's pretty simple. The bike feels cheaply made and some things arent well thought out. The engine feels bad and has a hump in the power delivery. The bike is expensive and too loud to drive in certain parts of Europe. I tested this bike and the RS660 last year. The only thing this bike has is a great suspension and ergonomics for small, light riders. Get a mt09 instead. The new one will have all the bells and whistles except the frame

[@jmaloney619]

I do like their look, I like the reviews, I'm the absolute average height/weight so I fit on sport bikes perfect, I'm very interested. The only reason I wouldn't get it is I've already fallen in love with the ZX-6R. The heart wants what the heart wants.

[@punchbuggyyellow7097]

I agree with Spite, you lucky Americans should all be riding Tuono 660's. Here in Australia they start at $21,490 AUD ($14,000+ USD) and the only used one on the market is a 35kW (47hp) versions for the learners. And it's a similar story for the RS 660, yet low mileage V4's are everywhere. It looks like I'll be holding on to my Aprilia Shiver for a while yet.

So we get LAMS versions of bikes like the Tuono 660 & Honda CBR650R that make less than half the power of the unrestricted model.

Great and beautiful bike. The problem I run into with Aprilia, Ducati, Triumph and BMW is that I don't live near any dealerships. If I lived near a major city, then yeah, I would love to own one. But their dealerships are a minimum of 150 miles from where I live and I would have to go to a dealership to clear a code just to change the oil. All of these European bikes have limited dealerships in the US. Japanese brands, I have 3 within 20 miles of me and I live in a small city in the midwest. Hell, I have a CFMoto, KTM and Husqvarnia all less than an hour from me. Alas, no Aprilia or Ducati so I'm stuck with Japanese bikes. Not that this is bad in any way. Thats a big reason why I and many others will not buy an Aprilia, Ducati, Triumph or BMW. Limited dealerships only near very large metro areas.

[@milanvermeersch8281]

@spitescorner Hey man, I love your videos. I've subbed. I am a Tuono 660 Factory owner for about 9 months now, about 4500 miles on it so far. The "hard to find neutral" issue was present for me when the bike was brand new. However, after about 200-300 miles the gears have "worn in" and it's no longer an issue what so ever! :) Reliability wise, I have had ZERO real issues with the bike so far. I do however recommend checking the torque on your engine and clutch covers every 1000 miles or so, just to be sure. They came loose a little on me, causing a minor oil leak that was easily fixed by retightening the bolts on said covers. The bike is an absolute blast to ride and I'm one of those that might make this a "one and done" bike for me.

Finally a really good review on the Tuono 660 - thank you man! I agree with everything said. I have the factory version including quick shift and ABS, both of which are really worthwhile upgrades. One thing not mentioned here is that the legs are right by the engine and in hot summer months it feels really hot, but on the flip side it helps warm your legs on cooler days. This bike is a such beast yet so easy to handle. Really shocked at all the haters out there.

Great review. Owned an RS660 and switched to a Street Triple RS. Bought a 23 Tuono 660 used with 280 miles for $8,500 and couldn’t be happier with it. Would take it over the RS660 all day and quite honestly it’s way more versatile than my 24 Street Triple.

Hey ! Would like to have your input about these two : STR 765r and Tuono 660. I'm currently struggling to decide between the two ! Could you give me some feedback on the chassis and braking performance ? Is the Aprilia Tuono more versatile, as It Can rip Canyon and moto touring would be ok with the windscreen? Thanks !

[@jgway9980]

@@neodurden6793 great choice either way but the Tuono definitely the bike for longer trips. The STR is for sure the more serious machine but it’s more rigid and definitely less nimble in tight spaces than the Tuono. With that said an advanced rider would definitely record better track times with the STR due to the extra power. The Tuono definitely no slouch though! I keep my Tuono at a place I own in the mountains and it couldn’t be more perfect for tight, curvy roads. Hope this helps. It’s really difficult to say anything negative about either bike, they are both so good. Twist my arm and I would choose the STR if rides are never longer than an hour or two (primarily because of the amazing sound of the engine). All around though the Tuono is the bike especially if riding longer distances. Oh and they both brake amazing. Pretty equal there. Keep me posted on what you decide!

[@neodurden6793]

@@jgway9980 Thanks for the feedback, it helps ! I should make a test ride soon. I love recreational spirited riding but also need a "do it all" bike for moto touring and highway sometimes. The windscreen that can be switched for a taller one, makes me lean for the Tuono a bit more. This bike sounds great for versatility, I do not want a trail so a roadster with fairing seems perfect. I already have a sv650s for track so I do not plan to bring it there anyway, except maybe just occasionally!

I got my ‘23 Rush Grey Tuono in December and love it. The dealer in Peoria (NW Phoenix) was offering the Factory and base at the same $9500 discounted price point and I chose the base for the same reason I prefer a manual gearbox in a sports car instead of a paddle shift - it is immensely more involving and satisfying day after day to match my own revs rather than letting some computer do it for me. Another reason for the Tuono was the more upright riding position. It’s a lot more comfortable than the full-on Aprilia and Ducati sport bikes I’ve owned over the last two decades and I don’t need to be hunched over the tank playing MotoGP anymore in order to enjoy carving up a canyon. The 660 Tuono really hits the sweet spot and ticks all the boxes.

Because it doesn't have the fame of ducati, the reliability of Japan, the dealer network of anyone, and its a style of bike doesn't sell.

Have a rsv4 and a tuono 660. My biggest gripe on the tuono is how small it feels for tall riders. I find myself constantly throwing my ass back(sorry for the imaginary) because of the seat shape making the jewels kiss the tank. Throw in that vibration and sleepy feet is the last thing i worry about. Would be perfect if the front of the seat came up a bit more the rear down, maybe even trim off the part that hits your tail bone when you try to scoot back.

[@driftofair9691]

I owned one of these and it was easily one of my favorite motorcycles (if not my favorite) ever. Traded it in after two years for an MV Superveloce but if I had to do it all again, I'd get another one of these and a backup beginner bike (like the Duke 390) and use it as my primary. Nothing else, garage is set in stone with that layout. It's just that good, a real 10/10 for me. Every time my friends ask for recommendations I always start here, and whenever they tell me about reliability issues I say "so what?"

I've had a Tuono 660 Factory for nearly two years now, and it's perfect. I didn't even feel the need to modify it. If I were to wreck it or something, I'd get another one. In my opinion that's how you know you've found the perfect bike.

[@kawikris6005]

I have this exact bike, amazing bike but does have it's issues, fuel leak from overflow after being parked - Aprilia factory fault where they misaligned the fuel filler seal. There is an updated part which cures this, if you take to dealer at first they were replacing the whole tank. At random times it won't start, not turning over, as if the battery was flat - turned out to be the starter relay, I do all my own repairs so know the bike very well by now. BUT the biggest issue with Aprilia is the after sales / dealer network and trained technicians in the U.K. I fitted the Lithium battery from NOCO / IMU and QS then took it to my local dealer and it took 2 visits to get it programmed correctly and even then I'm not sure it's been done correctly as the headlights are supposed to SWITCH ON THE BENDING ASSIST LIGHT when cornering as the RS does at lean angle of 25 degrees so maybe another visit to a different dealer might resolve this. Since fitting the QS (quick shifter) the gear change does seem very smooth compared to without it, does take some getting used too though. The bike in general is a well spec bike for the size of the engine when compared to the litre bikes, my only regret with this bike is it has no hazard lights and the self cancelling indicators take too long to cancel. 40secs or 500m is too long And @Spite the factory has difference suspension / IMU / QS / Lithium battery / 16 tooth front sprocket (parts cat shows 17 tooth) and doesn't come in Acid Gold :)

[@Gofr5]

I almost bought a Tuono 660. I wanted something more touring friendly though and had the opportunity to pick up a KTM 1290, an engine I've been drooling over for a few years now, so had to jump on that opportunity. If I ever decide to downsize one day though, this bike is very high on that list. Demoed an RS660 and loved it, except for the lean, despite how mild it is. My lower back just can't handle any kind of lean for extended periods of time. 5 min in to that demo, I was wishing I was on the Tuono instead.

Main reason why I wont own an Aprilia is the service. I dont trust any of the shops in my area to service it. Not paying a dealer to reset an oil interval light. Also valve interval is 12k miles instead of 24k like most Japanese bikes. Potentially a $1500 annual service, no thanks

[@shibapatrol801]

The bike is probably great and all but not talking about its reliability and serviceability is doing your viewers a disservice. My friend bought the RS660 and within 2 months it started having issues and needed to take it in (engine light on + oil leaking) and since it is an Italian bike, servicing it was 30% more expensive and parts took way longer to arrive. Seems the main batch from the 2021 is something you want to avoid but Aprilia didn't really make any changes to the bike itself since then (just honored the warranty and maybe stricter QC) Americans seem to have a hard-on for many things Italian and honestly I don't really get it. They just seem to produce flashy designs that are just not reliable enough by modern standards.

[@aluisious]

I'd buy the Tuono 660 if Suzuki made it. I had my Multistrada engine grenade at 29k miles, I'm done with the Italians.

[@Brianbaker3]

Would probably lack a lot of torque that this one has, considering that every cyl would be about 160 ccm.

Is it just me or is it weird to say you are an inch higher with boots. Like yea we all are. I dont understand that. Not trying to be a dick but our height is our height and we all know how shoes work. If you are two inches taller than me, you are barefoot and in boots. I am just confused

[@Skidz75]

When this exists…why would ANYONE ever want a motorcycle that they have to plug in?

[@LastExile1989]

Just picked up a cb 1000 as an upgrade from my 919. Not liking these little bikes.

[@balintlenard126]

First had a matt black 3 years ago afrer changed to america LE,i think still better then my wife 1098s 🤪.

[@dieterich6533]

People buy bikes with their heart, not their brain. I personally would get the RS660

[@paulh4943]

Second hand they go for practically nothing... The rs and tuareg quite keep the value but the tuono is absolutely a money loss.

[@maximborodyuk3773]

Imo buyers would line up if it will look even remotely close to italian bike. Not all bikes could be art objects, but tuono 660 is just epitome of ugliness and disproportions.

[@Keeta381]

I am lucky enough to have the V4 Factory in the garage but would love the 660 Factory as a worthy stablemate, great for those days when you want to redline a few gears and not fear for your licence, loved this review

[@Frank-xo7zj]

Bc dealer availability, scheduling maintenance, and part availability is a nightmare, spite ...dah

[@RzuTriple]

My biggest complaint is the price, it’s playing around the street triple price. It should be at least 1k less on the msrp

[@smak937]

I just picked up 22 with 1500 miles for 9500 out the door tax title and all

[@hvymax]

Try being 6'6" 380!!! Nothing stock fits.

[@peteypablo3393]

The aprilia is a brand a really want it when i started looking for my second bike but like most of the people that own them spend too much time on the shop fixing oil leaks and more issues that come up. I want a motorcycle that i can ride so i when with yamaha for a second time.

[@Deetroiter]

I ride the other Italian bike, Moto Guzzi, and checked out the 660 and was shocked. The amount of factory standard features, the performance, style, etc is MUCH cheaper than others like BMW, etc who nickel and dime you to death with non-standard options and then charge you twice the amount of money. The Aprilia Tuono 660 seems like a superior value!

[@alexandergutkin2711]

Which Guzzi?

[@georgedermitzakis4315]

The sweet spot of electronics??? Like what’s next??? An oled samsung tv in front of you and a teslas sophisticated autonomous driving??? Jesus it has Everything!!!!! From abs all the way to a wheelie control and cruise control…. I am getting angry and tired at the Americans wanting their bike to make coffee while doing 260mph and making 300hp and costing 18$ and and and…. Enjoy it… what more you need other than traction control and abs…?

[@dariomladenovski7047]

abs cornering is nice

[@Suisk8]

Probably because there's better options? Aprilia's reliability on the 660 has been pretty horrible

[@justwoody6511]

Why should I buy the imo uglier version of my lovely RS660 for just a bit less money? Also I prefer the plus in terms of wind protection and track bike capabilities. Have my RS for 2 years now and still turn around every time after I parked it. Made the right choice! :)

[@YouT860]

Not just the price

[@witjas123]

I’ve got the ‘24 factory. 2,500km so far with no problems. Such a great bike! Whether carving corners or tucking on the Autobahn.. I continue to enjoy every ride!

[@englishsteel-nz6im]

2500KM is nothing lol.... I've got a GSXR with 67k miles that's still running amazingly.
