Aprilia Tuono 660 - First Test Ride (2021)

[@Koopsstuff]

you KILLED this video

[@MrDrakenhoff]

thank you!

[@toshy]

You can disable the wheelie control independent of traction control only if the bike is fitted with the optional IMU.

[@MrDrakenhoff]

Thats awesome! I've heard about people switching out the ECU US vs EU to get the integrated turn signals as well. Thanks!

[@toshy]

@@MrDrakenhoff Yeah, but we're in Europe. We already have integrated turn signals.

[@jasonjohannes8285]

Great video. Any chance I can get a link to some of those photos that you took with the beautiful background?

[@TK-cl1jm]

Fantastic review, really dig the honest assessment, considering you went with the RS. You reaffirmed my decision was a good one, as I just put a deposit down on the Tuono 660 Factory! Cheers from frigid Vermont, USA!

[@MrDrakenhoff]

Awesome! I have to say I really dig the New black color for 2022. Cheers!

[@stevekirk6399]

just by the way you did this video I subscribed. now I will look at what else you have done. I think you will ride your RS now and wish you were riding the Tuono. riding a sport bike is to much hard work.

[@MrDrakenhoff]

I would be lying if I said I haven’t thought about it.. maybe one for each use? 😍😜

[@eugenecamerota9869]

Great review. I was wondering if there is excessive vibration in the foot pegs, bars and seat?

[@MrDrakenhoff]

Thank You! Nothing major imo. Footpegs on the tuono has rubber to reduce vibration. There will be some vibration on higher RPM's though.

[@davidmuriozzi8417]

As Tuono owner - Big vibrations even on low RPM

[@igorga82]

Cool bike. Nice review.

[@MsPetersveter]

Hi mate, just one tip, clutch should be pulled with 2 finger, on very soft clutch with one finger for better grip of hadlebars, yep on smooth road and relaxing crusing no debate about 4 fingers but for hard driving or enduro/enduro touristic bike on gravel and rocks you defenitely learn this 2-1 fingers technique for all time. And then you shouldn't got trouble with control panel. :-)

[@MrDrakenhoff]

Maybe, I still think there would be a distance-issue, but I’ll test it out when I can 👌

[@arsalanr27]

So you can't turn off the anti wheelie on the tuono ?

[@MrDrakenhoff]

You can, if you turn off the Traction Control all together. On the RS it’s a separate option 🙌

[@helgejohan3604]

Bra test av Tuonoen🤙🔥✊

[@MrDrakenhoff]

Takk takk 🥰

[@THEREALZENFORCE]

The problem is that with a big bike licence in the same price range the Tuono 660 competes with MT-09, MT-09SP, Z900, Z900SE which are better bikes for the money. Besides looks why would somebody take a Tuono 660 before a MT09SP (better suspension, more powerful, much quicker and faster, same level of electronics, up to 50 liters factory top case for daily commuting and shopping. I got the same problem for the new Ducati Streetfighter V2 with same options, besides looks for the price you get the way better 2022 MT-10SP, 2022 Super Duke R EVO, 2022 ZH2, 2021 S1000R, 2021 Tuono V4 Factory. So in my opinion the choice would rely mostly on looks and a bit on brand loyalty.

[@davidmuriozzi8417]

Its just your opinion bro. Your bikes you list, super ugly. And like MT09SP cost the same as Tuono 660

[@StoryoftheYear16]

Bro where are these roads? There's some good roads in the US, but nothing like that with twisites, smoothness and view.

[@TK-cl1jm]

Sure there are! I live in the northeast, FANTASTIC roads in upstate NY and all over NE!

[@ridgemills]

Switzerland, Southern Germany perhaps

[@myaccount6905]

Nice review 👍… would be fun if you could compare the 660 Tuono with its bigger V4 factory sister… give your thoughts…

[@MrDrakenhoff]

Thanks! I'll try to make that happen some day... some day! :)

[@caskstrength7629]

How tall are you? Nice review.

[@MrDrakenhoff]

Thank you! I'm 185cm.

[@caskstrength7629]

Thanks. 👍🏼

[@yurig2530]

How is it compared to MT-09? This is more expensive and less powerful.

[@MrDrakenhoff]

this is mre leaned forward thatn the MT09. Better brakes and feel on the front wheel going in corners. Feels a bit lighter.The MT09 engine though does pull better than this!

[@yurig2530]

@@MrDrakenhoff not surprising, since even MT-07 has more torque and power than 660 up to 8500 rpm.

[@helgejohan3604]

@@yurig2530 but the Tuono 660 are a lot faster then Mt07🤙🔥

[@davidmuriozzi8417]

@@helgejohan3604 I would say much much faster :)

[@JamesBond-ph6hr]

So…if you had to do it again…RS660 or Tuono 660?

[@MrDrakenhoff]

Like I said, I was looking to experience how owning a sportsbike would be. If that doesn't appeal to you, I reckon the Tuono is more fun for the roads!

[@JamesBond-ph6hr]

@@MrDrakenhoff I’ve also never owned a sportbike either. I had an mt07 and now an r7 on order due in December because I wanted that supersport experience…but with so many people complaining about the aggressive ergonomics of the r7 I’m rethinking my decision.

[@superstarsfastcars]

@@JamesBond-ph6hr so did you get the R7? I passed it up because the positioning was too aggressive. My back and neck would be killing me after 30 mins. 😆. I got the Tuono 660 instead.

[@AcaTennis1]

This or Kawasaki Z900?

[@MrDrakenhoff]

this

[@jottersen]

8:05 Lurer på hvor de merkene kommer i fra 🙃

[@MrDrakenhoff]

Flue som traff kamera!

[@MotorFolk]

BURNOUT!!!!

[@Rick1984FL]

I want the rs660 so bad!

[@superstarsfastcars]

Your talking about the throttle being twitchy. But you are riding in Dynamic mode! 😆. Dude ride in comfort and the throttle is not twitchy. At least mines is not. 😉 Nice Review

[@MrDrakenhoff]

Thanks! After dealing with my own RS660 over a year I ride in throttle map 2 (middle setting) and I've come to the conclusion that it's non necessarily the throttle, but the bikes fueling that cuts quite early. An ECU map would probably fix this.

[@superstarsfastcars]

@@MrDrakenhoff ahhhh got ya. I have not been in any mode yet but commute. As I am in the break in period. I will try it out and see what the results are. 😉

[@MrDrakenhoff]

@@superstarsfastcars awesome!

Føøøøøørst! #fanboi

[@MrDrakenhoff]

WOOOOOOO!! Been here since day ONE!?

[@chrisclemin1971]

Buy the Honda if you want to avoid all of the poor reliability of the aprilia.

[@smnlcu]

great reviews of this bike, but the success on the market is unfortunately undermined by the miserable value for money.

[@Slowshift]

14:42 I guess it does need a bigger brake to brake the bike so it doesnt break😂

[@MrDrakenhoff]

What can I say.. the internet is weird ;)

[@crewser004]

Buyer beware! My Aprilia Tuono 660 broke after 9000 miles. And now my engine has to be replaced under warranty.

[@prtmez]

If only it was reliable and not in the shop every 2 weeks....

[@davmanlop333]

Bike cost so much and it all stickers instead of paint 🤣

[@markdennis930]

American English - what a disappointment from a fellow European.

[@MrDrakenhoff]

The British is the real European disappointment ;)
