Why I chose my 2022 Tuono 660 Factory.

[@jameskennedy3365]

I picked up the 2023 Tuono 660 Factory and so far I’m very pleased

[@guptarohit123]

Just bought a tuono 660 factory here in Gemany. Super excited. Will get it in couple of weeks

[@Skitzo00]

Awesome! I think you'll love it

[@orhan14oglu]

Tuono 660 Factory is really perfect bike.. Very good handling, so comfortable.. love it..

[@Skitzo00]

It really is a great bike. I will be sad to see mine go next year.

[@noahhughes6397]

I went through a similar process before purchasing my bike. I found the closest comparison was between the MT09 SP and the Tuono 660 Factory. They are the exact same price in my area. The MT has 15ish more hp, so I was leaning that way at first, but then I sat on it. I just didn’t care for it because it felt like I was sitting to far forward. I also liked the semi-faired look of the Tuono better. I appreciate the little bit of extra wind protection it provides on the highway. Then I found out Aprilia had a $500 first responder discount and I was sold. Great bike! I’m up to 2k miles on it so far and love it! Thanks for the video!

[@keltecdan]

Any issues? I’ve heard a lot of people have had issues with the bike.

[@noahhughes6397]

@@keltecdan The only problem I have had with mine is a very loud squealing rear brake. I had it in for the 600 mile service and the dealer added shims to the pads. Quieted down for 100 miles or so, then the noise came right back. No problem with function though. Fingers crossed. I really love this bike!

[@Cliffracer46]

@@noahhughes6397 I got the same issue, gonna service it next week for the first 600 miles.

[@noahhughes6397]

@@Cliffracer46 I'm at 4k miles now. Rear brake still squeals. Please let me know if your dealer figures it out and how they fix it.

[@Cliffracer46]

@@noahhughes6397 will do. I’m from Italy by the way, I wonder if the mechanics will figure something out as the bike comes from here

You got the best bike, well done ✅👍

[@jimmybonaducci6405]

Another good vid on my favorite bike. Thanks for the night ride.

[@joelward1733]

Audio is on point! you are just getting better each video!

[@Skitzo00]

I appreciate that!

[@Cliffracer46]

Got the same bike. Any issues you encountered by chance? I only noticed that the rear brake squeaks and the gearbox is fiddly when I try to put in Neutral. Lovely bike, lightweight and very agile. Might’ve liked a little bit more torque and engine, but hey this 660 is good as it is. Having a blast on it.

[@Skitzo00]

I had an oil leak for a bit but warranty took care of that. The trans seems to like going into neutral from 2nd more than 1st. Also, I have a new video up that covers more about it. I have traction and wheelie control disabled and it’s a different beast.

[@Cliffracer46]

@@Skitzo00 appreciate the feedback. I still drive with tc on setting 3 right now

[@BlueDevilMoto]

Good video man, I can tell you’re feeling more comfy making vids. Sound more natural 🤘🏼 keep up the good work!

[@Skitzo00]

Appreciate it!

[@thevances5780]

I feel you on the motorcycles becoming a new obsession. I had to try for a few years to get the wife to allow me to get a bike. Which I why I went Duke 390 to appease her. I also am an auto tech and have a 7 year old little girl. Lol what a coincidence. Appreciate you talking on what bikes you looked at before landing on the Tuono.

[@Skitzo00]

Not a problem. You gave me the idea to do it.

[@thevances5780]

@@Skitzo00 also would love to see some motovlog type content on a Tuono. Would definitely come back and watch. Subbing.

[@keltecdan]

Stay safe out there. Always be 3 steps ahead of the bike and ride within your limits.

[@dcryder9736]

Starting to watch your videos and have gone through the same thought process. Luckily I'm only 15mi from an Aprilia dealer or it would be scratched off the list. How would it be comfort wise for day trips, say 8 hours? I'm in East Tennessee and there is so many twisty road trips around 😊 Thanks for sharing your personal life. I'm 52 and picked up riding after 30 years away while raising a family. It's amazing how muscle memory works. I've been slowly progressing over the last year with my DRZ400S, and am looking forward to an upgrade.

[@Skitzo00]

I have made a few multi hour rides but normally about 4-5 hours and then a break. I would recommend getting the comfort seat if you want to go for 8 hours.

[@Cliffracer46]

Another plus is cruise control. I always use it after twisty roads to relax a little :) a couple of minutes and you're back in the game.

[@freshfruit23]

I have the same bike and absolutely love it but don't you think the cornering lights are completly useless?

[@Skitzo00]

At first I did but I have had few instances where they were useful. Like riding around town at night you can see it get brighter the further you lean and spot things just little sooner like drainage holes and sand

[@kevinwheatley1097]

I read the manual - yep, unusual. - and its says not to use the quick shifter below 4000rpm.

[@Skitzo00]

Yeah, I figured that out. I think I covered it in a later video.

[@alexkoxe]

Am between the tenere 700 and the rs/tuono660 which one do you suggest for every day street use and 2 hours trips

[@Skitzo00]

I will start with that the Tenere 700 is a different breed of bike. It is a middle weight adventure. The RS660 is a middle weight sport and will be the least comfortable for the 2 hour trips. The Tuono is a middle weight sport naked and would be the best choice due to the comfort and tech. the Tenere is a great bike but lacks a lot of tech. A two hour trip, cruise control is your friend. Now if you want the adventure platform and still want the Aprilia treatment; the Tuareg 660 is the way to go. About 7 more horses than the Tenere and all the tech as the other Aprilia bikes.

[@duelliste4208]

I drove for some time the rs 660 during my drivers licence and I was struggling to find the pedal for the rear brakes.Since I haven’t tried the tuono yet I was wondering if this was the case for you. I’m considering to get myself a tuono factory 660

[@Skitzo00]

I haven't had any issues with finding the rear brake pedal but I also do not use it very often.

[@duelliste4208]

@@Skitzo00 lol i understand, anyways thanks for the answer

[@Jeekue]

In comparison, what things do you miss from the n650? (If anything at all)

[@Skitzo00]

So there are actually a few things that I do miss about the Ninja 650. The fuel mileage was better by about 8-10 mpg. The seat height was a little lower so easier to manage at stops. The maintenance cost was lower along with payment and insurance. The platform has been around longer, so the reliability was better. But with all that in mind, I had to tell myself that I liked the bike. The main turning point was when I got to ride my friends MV Agusta Dragster RR and realized that I preferred naked bikes and horsepower lol.

[@michaelwolfe1556]

Eh oh memorial drive in Tulsa. You're local to me crazy I haven't seen a tuono 660 local to me.

[@Skitzo00]

Yeah. Born and raised. It may or may not be on display July 1st at Fantasy Garage 918 from 10am to 6pm!

My favourite bike,the best, Aprilia

[@BrateX98]

you think a beginner can handle it ?

[@Skitzo00]

This can definitely be handled by a beginner. You can put it in a different ride mode that allows it to have all the assists turned up

[@BrateX98]

@@Skitzo00 Thanks buddy

[@StockySnail]

Also all the electronics on the bike help beginners (ride modes, anti-wheelie, etc). Just remember your motorcycle class basics and go easy on the turns. It's a super light bike as well which makes it easier to handle.

[@Skitzo00]

@@StockySnail with good electronics, you can put a beginner on a bike with a lot of horsepower. I had been riding for about 5 months when my friend let me ride his MV Agusta Dragster 800RR. I've only been riding a year now and Got to ride the Streetfighter V4 for a week.

[@BrateX98]

@@Skitzo00 Thats crazy and also great! I was thinking the same... Why putting 6k+ in 300-400 cc bike when i Can buy something better and use electronics. Im also not someone who have a lot of money to do that. Thanks for opinions !

[@anxiousappliance]

Yamaha xsr900 seems comparable in price and has all the bells and whistles with an extra 20hp on the table. It's OK to say - I think this bike is beautiful so I bought it. LOL

[@Skitzo00]

Totally agree. I went off looks. I would go street triple RS if I was going for spec sheet.

I love a good night ride,just watch out fir idiots hitting u from behind while stopped, ask me how I know this
