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.
