Aprilia does have my brand loyalty. Started on a 2stoke rs125. Stepped up to a restricted dorsoduro 750 and riding a tuono 1100 at the moment. Thanks for the review Chops!
Is Aprilia reliable?
@@gymmaxxedpokemonmaster Never had any issues with my bikes. An Aprilia specialist keeps all my bikes in check.
@@frankeichhorn7979 whilst I don't knock what you're saying, the servicing costs are surely double what they'd be on a jap bike for example?? So whilst your are getting it looked after, it behaved, but at a hefty inflated price.
I fancy an 1100 Tuono myself, but I want at least a 2017 (but not new 21 model, they're hideous looking things) but I cannot justify their price point right now. I'm 2 weeks away from getting married. Just bought my first house. Off on honeymoon 2 days after our wedding, got a family holiday booked for next year and wanting to book Disney World for 2023. So I'm having to be sensible with my money. And for that price it has to be a gsxs1000f for now. Whilst my loins don't lust for it, it just makes sense and is a "nice" reliable bike.
I'll get my v4 1100 tuono 2017 in 2024 perhaps and find a low miler.
I haven't road for 12 years. My last ride was an original RSV mille.
Before that I had an sv650 as my first bike, followed by a 599 ninja.
So I guess the gsxs will be a nice shoehorn back into biking.
What a fab bike! Looking forward to hearing how it compares to the Street Triple... Your mic picked up the sound beautifully on that vid, sounds great doesn't it....top work as ever sir!
Looking forward to your "living with" & "cost of ownership" vids. Go on, you know you want one......
looking forward to your videos on RS vs Tuono and also comparison with Street Triple RS. Really enjoy your in depth videos sir!
#themissendenflyer it has a fuel gage! So you will like it! 👍
You lads need to do a Bike Battle when the UK opens up again. Great content from both so would be ace to have you two battle it out.
Thanks Andy sir 🙏
I feel like the colored plastic is MUCH better then painted plastic because the color will last longer and when it fades we can polish it back to new and as for the wind it does get a bit heavy on the shoulders up so at highway speeds I just lean in a bit for now but I'll be upgrading the windscreen to a screen a few inches taller to help with that! All in all though I LOVE MY TUONO!!! Happy riding friend!
Congrats on being one of the very first people to be able to test-ride the new Appies, Chopsy. :) Speaking of the bike, I like the overall design and especially the color scheme on this 660 Tuono (probably a tad more than the RS660 even). I still can't decide if I like the new design of the front mask, though. It does look much more modern but whenever I see it, I think an ant's head (or praying mantis's). I can't help it. :D
Still, I am interested to see how the RS660 compares to this. Looking forward to you next vlog.
I thought it was a video about a naked bike, but it turns out it's about a fully faired sport bike with handlebars.
It’s high time we had some nicer middle weight nakeds. I really don’t want 1000cc on the road. This is great.
Agreed . I had two Honda 600Rs in the 90s and they were as quick as my 1982 GPZ1100 B2 and a lot quicker through the twisties.
Definitely not a 1000. 1100 is the sweet spot 🤣
What! Cruise control on a mid size bike, Ducati I hope you are looking and put cruise on the Streetfighter on a next update🙄. Looks a great little bike that chopsy . 👍
Greetings from Sydney down under. Great review Mr Chops! Love it. Cannot wait for the new Triumph Speed Triple review as well.
Been waiting for this. Yourself and TMF are my go to "real person" reviewers.
Thanks buddy 👍
It looks amazing but that price.. here in Aus it's $19,000. MT09SP is $17,400, and MT07 HO is around $13,300
Wow that is expensive stuff in Aus.
Mt09 might be a nice bike, the mt07 can't hold a candle to the Aprilia. Driven both and seriously impossible comparison.
@@justacomment1657 Maybe Triumph Trident is a better comparison, that is also $13,000, or the Street Triple R for $18,000
Thanks Chopsy👍. It really does look and sounds like it's older sibling and I can see this bike being a future classic!
Thank you for all the great videos. Im always so exited every time I get my notification that you uploaded something.
No problem thanks 👍
I've been excited for this chops 😁😁😁
Got mine preordered, can’t wait till it arrives in Florida
Hi Chopsy…I’m laughing at you with the high beam…I picked up my new RS660 on Saturday and I keep putting the high beam on too 🤣🤣
OUTSTANDING bikes 😍
This must be the world exclusive first review 👍🙏❤️ please review the Triumph Speed Triple RS 🏍️🎃😀
Yeah nice to be early to the party 🥳🎉
There are plenty of reviews 3 weeks old!
Nothing against this video... but by now is just “ another “ one...
In Some EU countries (Denmark at least), you can only limit the bike to A2 if it has less than double (96 hp) of A2. thats probably why they announce it as 95 in EU
same in norway, makes sense for me atleast
After 5 mins I realized that the speed is in MPH not KPH 🤣 good vid bro, drive safe
Top notch stuff LCR the bike looks fantastic. Beautiful stunning Aprilia colours! Ofcourse the sound is captured by you every time!
A2 bikes can be restricted versions of a bike that has not more than 70 kW originally, which is 95 metric horse power. This is then restricted to 35 kW to make it A2. That's why it's officially 95 hp in Europe.
Ah yes if the limit is 95 then that's why 👍 but paper limit only 😆
Rs660 also has the same 95hp
Great review mate. I like how you naturally get all the bike spec out in such a natural way. Looking forward to the comparison 👏🏻
As an older member of the biking fraternity I was gobsmacked at the amount of rider aids, what next heart and blood pressure moniters to see how much exitement you handle ! Lovely machine can't wait for the next one.
had to comment your riding all my favourite Hampshire roads!
Bring on the RS and a post ‘run in’ comparison......hold that sunshine too.
Looks and sounds good but the sprint/street triple was a telling distraction 😉
Great video, many thanks.
nice review man sweet bike i don't fancy the leg position for me being tall but it is a lovely bike. Roll on the good weather. An extra 500 quid for the RS is a no brainer.
Top vid. Just a bit disappointed that the trend seems to be releasing bikes around the 650cc point for the road. There’s nothing for those that want a bit more but not the full fat version. Eg around 130bhp for the road.
If you tune and/or put a full exhaust on a 2021 mt09 (when it comes out and when they make a tune for it), duke 890, street triple rs, kawi z900, all ducati 939cc engines, you will be very close to 130hp
street triple?
MV Brutale or Dragster RR = 800cc & 140bhp 👍
Parallel twins have come a long way, my last one was a GPZ 500 !!
Around 24:14 whilst you are on the motorway, a BMW 4 series grancoupe in Estoril blue passes on the right. I had that car in the 2018 440i GC in the same colour. Lovely, responsive motorcar.
What a great bike. Looking forward to the comparison videos. Lovely day for a ride.
i just bought a new 19 aprila rsv4 rr. was on sale for 15k. with my speed triple trade in, out the door for 10.6k
Nice review mate, I enjoy yours and Teapotones style as you both ride as I do and are not hung up on brand and image
need a comparison between this and the 890 duke R
Cracking review Chops 👏🏻👏🏻. Aprilia launching some really nice and well placed bikes into the market. I have to admit before i actually bought my RSV4 i was always a little sceptical of the Aprilia brand but after owning it for a year and half im absolutely sold on it. Only one major floor in the Aprilia brand just a lack of dealerships if they could sort that out I’m sure they’d sell many more bikes!!
Preload and rebound damping should be easily accessible imho. Can’t see it impressing Dave Moss, lol.
Looking forward to your review of the new Speed Triple RS when you get your hands on one.
Whay a lucky day for you : beautiful motorbike .....and beautiful sunny day. Just missing some twisty roads...Come with me next time.
Nice video, grate !
Can't wait to see the rs660
Great vid chops and that country view wow
Plus them knox gloves you was wearing look a decent pair of gloves
Thanks chops all the best to you 👍👍
Thanks Michael, yeah gloves are brilliant winter gloves. ZEROs I believe, link to them in the description 👍
Great review again, for the extra £500 I think the RS660 for me...
Thank you for giving insight on this bike! I am as tall as you and i believe i will just go for the RS 660 instead!
Great review! Keep up the great videos!
You can update the tuono 660 electronics exactly on the same level of the rs 660....abd then they are nearly the same price
proper detailed review, none of your 'bubble of calm/moving it in a carpark/etc' basicness 👍
Brilliant review Chopsy. Looking forward to the RS review and comparison. I think the RS will be my choice for the perfect road bike personally but we’ll see. Keep up the good work 👍
Great Review Lamb Chop. I'm looking into getting back onto a bike after 25 years. Used to ride a Ducati Pantah. The Tuono looks like it provides a more forgiving riding position (than the RS) and considering that I'll be 60 soon would be a good choice. I'm 175cm (6'9") and 72kg (11 stone 4lb), smaller that you (who isn't ha ha) and I'm wondering if it would be a good fit for my body type long term. Comments from others also most welcome. Cheers.
CC is a deal maker for me; if Street RS would only update to CC! Touno 660 is a great effort by Aprilia, they deserve credit for investment in mid-weight seriousness. Thank you Chopsy from the US.
Thanks Ryan 👍
I weight 12 stones with gear 5.10" and I think this bike would be awesome for guys in my sizes
Enjoyed that thanks. Looks like it is a great bike.
Look forward to to your comparison with the Street triple r, Cheers Chopsy.
Thanks Dave, in the garage right now 😎😎
This bike is amazing but lets hope 2 years from now the forums won't be filled with horror stories about leaks and electronic failures like duke 790. great review as always
Wat a vid chps. See me in vision. That prat Honda 900 no where Lancershire Tossser..
Great video, glad the bike isn’t disappointing
Great video chops, sounds lovely 👌👌 Aprilia have had a middle weight bike before, the 750 Shiver, but no where as nice as that 660 tuono 👍👍
I have the 1100 Tuono Factory, Wheels motorcycles put an Akkrapovich on it when bought new.
The 660 looks great but it’s not far off the weight of my bike, around 200kg wet.
I’d assume it was going to be a lot lighter, especially with the stubby exhaust.
Has the euro 5 legislation put heavier cats within the bike ?
Great video Chopsy, your production values look great,
Regards, Colin
Tuono 1100 is 210 KG so this is a good 20kg lighter! Swap the exhaust and you will save another 5 kg at least!
Fantastic news TMF won't complain about not fuel gage! Nice work sir! 💪
Thanks buddy 👍
Blimey, any more bikes in your garage and TMF will start to get jealous!
It's rammed!!
Nice video chops, love the look of the Tuono sounds good to 👍
Yes Chops! Been waiting with interest for this one 👍
RS 660 and tuono Look identical.
Just that the tuono has a dirtbike handlebar and a 5 cm shorted fairing
Nice first bike for a new rider that, wish they had bikes like this when I passed my test many moons ago !!!.👍🇬🇧
Hi. First bike??? It is a street bike! How many horse power you think you need on open roads or even better, what percentage of a more powerful bike can you use on open roads?
One example only: I had a KTM 1290 super duke and then the Tuono 1100.
Sold them and got an R1 for the track days only and a Dorsoduro 750 r for the every day commuting and fun. Bingo.
To me 100 cv with less than 200 kg is the perfect bike for roads and you can go even faster
@@paponeable you need as much bhp as you can get mate, the faster the better, that's the fun of riding a bike otherwise I'd ride a f*cking moped !!!!.🤪👍🇬🇧
@@bakedbeanzontoast9078 Thanks to confirm my theory: you’ll never go faster , not even with a rocket, on open roads with A twin with 100 horse power. 😏👍🏻
@@bakedbeanzontoast9078 or maybe.... On an highway.... but where is the fun of driving on an endless strip of tarmac...😏
Great video chops I love the bike may get one next year excellent review thanks from danny
I'd get the RS660 for the bigger windscreen and fairing. Still, the Tuono looks like a fantastic do it all bike.
Tested it today in Paris and loved it. Tested the Triumph Speed Triple this morning too and found it too rigid. Have to chose between the Tuono and the Street Triple. I have a feeling that the Tuono might just be my new bike😂
Great review chops thanks, too expensive for a middle weight 9700, for 10600 you can get the KTM 890
What a belter.... really top review, Chops. 👍👍👍
I look forward to your videos coming out. Cheers me right up 👍
Lack of fuel gauge has been the reason I've never owned an Aprilia or Ducati. About bloody time 😃
Thanks for a great review John. A nice bike but I admit I'm a litre tart, which means I would keep looking at it wishing I had it's bigger brother.
It's damping not dampening!
Smashing review chops! and a great middle weight bike it seems :-)))
Great review! This is my first time watching and I'm already a fan of your channel. Subscribe button has been smashed, cheers mate!
Thanks buddy 👍
Well that’s my lunch time viewing sorted !! Really really looking forward to this one , don’t ruin my hopes choppsie !! TELL ME ITS AWESOME !! 🙏😉
Great review, Chopsy! Cheers for the ride along.
Honda VFR800 V4 had 49Nm torque at 9000rpm (240kg) and here 67Nm (180kg) from twin?! And 60Nm at 4000rmp? Amazing !!
Great review! Any plans to review the new Tuono 660 Factory? Would be great to see how it compares.
Chopsy well done on getting the ride and for posting. You mention the Trident a few times but it’s about £3000 cheaper than the Tuono, wouldn’t a Street Triple R be a better comparison or 890 Duke? Keep up the good work 👍🏻
You can have quickshifter, autoblipper and 6 axis imu (cornering abs and lights and the lot) as optional for around 500€ in Italy
That rear 360 camera makes the bike look like its got a massive rear shock adjustor under the seat 😂
Brilliant video Chops as ever! 🙂
Nice one Chopsy...first review I've seen for this, thanks.
That countryside is beautiful.
Glad you mentioned wet weight of the trident chops, lol weighed my street rs today came in at 177kgs wet so thats pleased me a little 👌🏻
Really?? Wow that's light 👍
@@LambChopRides aye, I don’t actually know what a full standard wet one weighs and tbf I’m not bothered but loads have asked me the question, only ten miles in so don’t know the full effect of the bst’s yet
Great job. 👍 Aprilia should have stepped up and had you at the launch!
First decent review on this bike I've seen. It does seem expensive compared to other naked bikes with the same sort of power like the street triple S and 790duke. Also going to be as much as the RS660 once options are added to match the RS spec.Every review says how comfy the RS already is so that means it mainly comes down to styling to choose between them? That's if your prepared to part with £10,000 for less than a 100bhp bike when you could have something like a street triple RS with 120bhp for similar money. Can't wait for your thoughts when you do the comparison video.
I totally agree, it is too expensive, not enough punch for that price... Might get a decent discount at the dealers. Most kid sized Aprilias (shiver and dorsoduro) are well discounted...
Great review Chops, looking forward to more..........!!
Thanks Grumps 👍
Great review, Lamb Chop when you will review new MT-09 2021 ?
Nice bike! Great premiere
Hi Chops any plans to do a follow up to cover the Tuono 660 Factory
There is supposed to be a torque improvement after the first service as the map is updated for full use of the rpm and torque. They must limit it with the initial map so it can't be thrashed during the running in period.
OK interesting 👍
great review !!! very informative
Very nice Italian exotica but the price diverts me to the Trident unfortunately. Great review though 👍
Nice review, chops!
its funny you should say they have no in between bike. i have a 750 shiver and thats a great bike.
The lack of an IMU is baffling. That alone would tip me towards the RS instead of the Tuono, even though I prefer a naked bike.
Why? You racing it or something?
IMU or cornering abs is not really an issue for me since I don’t race unless it’s a specific track day but the lack of a quickshifter (allegedly) on stock tuono 660 is weird
@@Soshi12005 yeah, lack of quickshifter is also a big miss. It's one of those features that once you've used, you really don't want to go back.
Great video. Is this a first? I can’t recall seeing any other 660 Tuono ride videos. Awesome for a first big bike 👍🏽
Interaction with police car was a bit Pythonesque! Loved it. Does seem weird that they don't have auto-blip or IMU on an Aprilia. After listening to several U.S. and Brit reviews of The RS and yours is the first, excellent btw of The Tuono, I'm sure it's awesome, but I'm not impressed. Can't imagine that I'd have any less fun on a MT or Trident at thousands less.
Looking forward to you guys getting your mitts on The New Monster.
Thanks Joe 👍
Great looking swingarm , as usual from Aprilia
Greatreview as always, looking forward to the comparison with the street triple 765r, i have an 18 model and love it. Ridings position looks very similar and the brakes look the same M4. I will be very interested in your opinion, cheers from Australia.
Very instructive test ride of the Tuono 660; thanks. For my money I’d take the slightly pricier RS 660 with the added goodies as the described riding position (the main difference and marketing play) isn’t that different from the comfortable RS. And the point Chopsy makes about diminishing returns on litre-plus power houses in our camera- infested country can’t be ignored, even if the temptation is there to mount the larger Aprilias. Looking forward to the comparison.
great review chopsy
Must be a nightmare trying to find space 😂. That looks really nice, shame you can’t give it the beans.
Engine break in is silly in 2021. This is not 1970 the tolerances are much higher today. Plenty of evidence to prove this. Anecdotally speaking, I have never rode like a little bitch while breaking in my bikes and I had many with ZERO issues.
Z900 v2.0 is the best "middleweight" today. The Gsxs-750 comes second.
That being said, the Tuono 660 is better than the MT-07 (too tiny) and MT-09 (iffy frame) for sure.
Great stuff Chops.
