Thanks for this really interesting video and comments. I bought the Tuono Factory for the better suspensions, and all the additionnal features. The bike has also a different ratio in final transmission which made it more responsive. And with that, quite the most perfect and versatile bike I ever had. Thanks again.

Nice review! Thanks for getting us your opinion. Looking forward to the review of the v4 tuono.

@@RikkyTang Yeah, that small 500cc beast gave me a lot of kicks. :) Ok, stay tuned.

I currently ride a 67 plate Yamaha mt10 and have been thinking about downsizing due to not being able to ride the 10 anywhere near hard on the road, but I do love everything about the bike and Yamaha reliability is appreciated. One thing I noticed about the aprillia, the build quality is ok but parts of the bike definitely have a budget feel compared to my bike and the demonstrator was having a brand new engine fitted at only 500 miles.......a shim recall apparently, make of that what you will. Another great review Ricky 👍🏻

Indeed there were some recalls for the 660 engines early on which would be very frustrating if you owned one, but to be fair it was a brand new engine architecture and the italians aren't alone in having teething troubles with new bikes. I like everything about the MT10 aside from the looks and I think that's why I couldn't own one - but beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that! Thanks for writing in! 😊

@@RikkyTang Aaaaaaaaaaaa so exited! Haha. Literally one of my favourite bikes looks and sound wise. Can't wait to see what you make of it... Though tbf this 660 sounds a lot nicer than I was expecting after watching other reviews. Nice engine note.

First review I've seen so down on the suspension. Others seem to report it is excellent, on par, or even better, than the ST RS. Perhaps set up all wrong for your weight.

I haven't ridden a Street Triple RS but I would also expect that to be an excellent handling bike if the Speed Triple is anything to go by. Yes it's possible that I was unlucky with this bike somehow - certainly the RS660 felt better as well.

Tuono more grunt and more hooligan then rs 660🤘🔥🔥

Interesting... u seemed to be a bit underwhelmed, mayb cos u expected it to overwhelm u, mayb cos it is that obviously nerfed compared to the rs. Weird breed that aprilia, inline2 that tries to work like inline4 but seems 2 fail in that. That wannabe like puts me off. Anyway, ur a honest dude, ty 4 ur review.

I didn't really expect to overwhelm me, it's more that I expected to enjoy that style of bike more than the RS (or that the upright design would have made up for the bikes shortcomings), but the nerfing let it down. Thanks for dropping me a line!

If I had more than one bike, I'd get an Aprilia. But since I have but one bike, it won't be Italian. Because Italian bikes, much like the Italian people, work very hard and are very flamboyant, but they also like to take their vacation time. I need a Japanese bike which, like the Japanese people, while not overly flashy or loud, never stop working until they are physically worn out and cannot continue.
