With a claimed 167bhp it's the most powerful Super Naked in its class. The Tuono is one of the best handling bikes on road or track with high bars to help muscle it around.
The seat is a bit on the thin side.
Aprilia's new RSV4 with the fairings removed.

In all seriousness, I would have to say this is the best bike I have ever had the pleasure of owning, sure it won't cruise like a ZZR1400, have a top end like an R1 or the looks of an F4 but smiles per miles it beats them all. yeah the seats a pain in the arse on distance rides but your too busy having fun, the quick shifter is a dream, Handling makes you feel like a riding God and the OEM tyres are fantastic. What really makes this bike, Is the whole package If you've had enough of being cramped up on a sportsbike bit still want the ooomph and handling with the added safety nets that the APRC package throws in then you won't go wrong with one of these. Don't believe me? book a test ride.
Strengths
Engine: Smooth but drips with torque from the word go all the way up to the red line, and the accompanying sound track is a classic, no need to go for an aftermarket pipe hear* as it really is alot louder than you think would be legal. Quick shifter: A lovely bit of kit that can happily be used at part throttle at above 4000rpm, so its not just for balls out gear changes, smoothest changes I have ever felt and blistering quick as you let the reigns out the APRC package is worth this alone. Handling: You need to book yourself a test ride to believe it, It's amazing.
Weaknesses
Seat: At first you might cry but then after a few trips out you body adjusts to it. Fuel consumption: 25 MPG running it in, 1500 miles later getting 29MPG seriously it gets better mpg the harder you ride it, must be the exhaust valve opening about 6k, but it likes to be ridden hard. Thats it for cons I cant fault anything other than those two points.
