With so many high-class bikes in this middleweight naked class, the little Aprilia has picked a fight with some seriously capable machines. At the head of the table, we have bikes like the Triumph Street Triple, KTM 890 Duke R, and new Ducati Monster 937. At the other end of the scale, we have the Yamaha MT-07, Kawasaki Z650, Triumph Trident 660 and Honda CB650R. On the performance front it splits the group perfectly, with a level of tech that only a couple of bikes can match. The question mark for most people when they talk about the Tuono 660 Factory is the price. At £10,000 on the nose, it’s only £895 less than the Monster, and £1,050 less than the KTM. Both of those offer slightly more power, and almost all the toys you’d need for road riding high-jinks.
Take price out of the equation through, and the Aprilia Tuono 660 Factory is a cracking little bike. It’s fast, comfortable, easy to ride, and extremely frugal. Its also got a serious ‘big bike’ look and feel to it, not something that all the bikes in the segment have.
