Aprilia Tuono 660 2021

The Tuono delivers on the bends what the name promises. The sporty naked bike rides precisely and you enjoy the sporty corner chase. At the exit of the bend, however, one wishes for more emotion and adrenaline. The sporty expectation is naturally also created by the Tuono's racy appearance and cheeky demeanour. But this expectation is unfortunately not quite fulfilled in the saddle.

Easy-to-operate engine with good sound

successful appearance sporty handling

good ergonomics

decent brakes

extensive electronics - but partly at extra cost

stable and precise chassis

Price / performance ratio not right

IMU package costs extra

In my opinion, the KTM 1050 Adventure picks up where the 990 Adventure left off a few years ago: Around 100 hp of power, playful handling and as much or as little electronics as is currently state-of-the-art. The engine is anything but weak, ABS and traction control regulate safely and inconspicuously and the handling is extremely fun-oriented, partly because of the relatively narrow tyres. And all this at a price that is only undercut by a few competitors in the league of big touring enduros. Sad as it may be, the two 1190 Adventures and, above all, the flagship 1290 Super Adventure, have soared in price to very high levels. And that is precisely why the KTM 1050 Adventure is perhaps the most coherent of the four Adventure models.

Powerful, refined engine

disengageable ABS

adjustable traction control

agile handling

adjustable ergonomics

prestigious looks similar to the big sisters

height-adjustable windshield

low weight

comparatively affordable price.

Rev limiter kicks in at 8500 revs

chassis a little too soft for off-road use
