I think this bike looks amazing! Aprilia really nailed the looks.

Great review Scott! Nice to see the sun & warmth coming to Germany & Europe! Take care & ride safe

Really like your reviews, honest and concise, you've sold me, can't wait to order one in, of course, acid gold. Thanks keep up the great work.

Thank you so much for your review; one of the reasons that I decided to buy the bike.

Hi Scott, don't care about the bike, but love your vids which was the reason to view it anyway. Stay safe

i just found this channel but i absolutely love it

Great review!

Congratulations Scott for the video. I also tried the Triumph RS, KTM 890 R and Aprilia Tuono 660 and I must say I agree on every word you say. Just be aware that the 10550 euro of the Tuono includes the sellers additional costs (330 Euro by KTM, 450 Euro by Triumph). However, even as such, the Tuono is no budget bike.

Great review Scott. 👍

Thanks Scott. Please consider doing a short video on your video equipment AND the attachments you use ( clamps etc.) on the test bikes.... Regards.

Really like your reviews and love the comparece ok the Japanese house wife and the Italian super model 5 ⭐️

Great review, nice and concise, we dont need to spend 25 mins + on this stuff pouring over the specs etc,. Fun factor is what I was looking for. Sounding great in stock trim is a bonus! I've ordered one in the Iridium grey.

two thumbs up, thanks for making me laugh. Italian supermodel!!

That Kawasaki in the background 🔥

Haha..great channel mate,housewife or supermodel that was brilliant,i have a 19 busa and am deciding on a great middle naked fun bike,nearly fell for the 660 but for price and reliability i have to go with gut on the 09,the new model is a great package for price.

I was under the impression that a Naked bike is the one which doesn’t have a fairing ! Aprilia proved me wrong !

I defiantly want one now😄

I like the bright yellow, but I wish the wheels were gold.

Nice review! Also road all of the mentioned bikes and the tuono suprisingly, eventhough or maybe because having the "Luftpumpe" behaviour motorcharacteristic, it was the bike I had most fun with on my 30 mins Testrides. Just not sure if its the best allround bike and if it is the best pick long term...

Again, spot on Scott. If i may sir, not sure it hits as hard as its "competitor's" the way it you graphed it. But it would shred the class underneath.. Kudos for the ability to place these very different bikes. Why is gsxs 750 asking for 1300$ more? that bike needs to start eating salads

I believe you have placed it in the wrong category that Aprilia was intending it to be up against. The Trident, MT-07, CB650R, just to name three. Anyhow, with that being said I still love watching your reviews. Keep up the great work! 👍😎

If only the Street Trpl RS had Cruise Control! Listen Triumph. And MT 09 SP has CC now.

As always, really appreciate the vid. Thank you. I looked back at your previous reviews but couldn't see the New MT09 there. As the new MT is very different from the previous one, you need to compare that with the others in you chart. So........please do this, if possible, asap.

that conclusion of the Japanese house wife or the lady who won't always be there had me cracking 😂

I like the bike from what i can tell. not sure it can quite get to the 890 level but i have not ridden it. the power on all fronts is significantly below that of the duke while the weight is more or less the same.

Nice! Thanks for doing this. I asked about this on your other video and you delivered! Good man. Im sure you'll be doing the new s1000r and the new monster as well right?!

Great review as always, I'm waiting for your review of the 2021 BMW S 1000 R.

One thing about that platform under the rear seat. Rear seat actually keeps the rider seat attached to the bike. So once you remove it, nothing holds the rider seat in place. Perhaps if you seat on it it will not slide out of the bike, but you never know. Did anyone at Aprilia think about that designing this? :-)

Not a bike for me, however I do enjoy all your reviews. Thank you.

Great review of a great bike. A bit too much money to justify when I could get a 2 year old Street Triple RS for at least a couple of grand less. Would prefer it in the red and black. That yellow is just too much!

Great review Scott. Love all your content. Always honest and thourogh. Test rode one today and loved it. Only problem is which colour? 🤔 I love the Concept Black version, but there are none available at my local dealer and waiting months to get stock in to New Zealand. They have a brand new Acid Gold in stock and have offered a great deal drive away. It's a polarising colour. You either love or hate it. Which one would you buy? I'm on the fence whether to buy the Gold and love having something different, but not sure after a month, get sick of the colour, or wait 6 months (middle of our winter) for the black at full retail price + on roads 🤷🏾‍♂️

You mentioned my main concern, “reliability”! Owned several Ducati in the passed and never had any issues while I had them. Have not pulled trigger on my next bike yet but Tuono 660 scares me with the QC and issues. What is worst for a motorcycle owner than having his bike parked helplessly in the garage?

Nice review. It sounds and looks nicer so I'd prefer it over the Duke R even with the lower power (road use). I do like the RS660 more.

if for street use and sometimes cynon, NO TRACK DAY. KTM 890 duke vs tuono 660, which one more FUN to ride???

The wheelbase of1370mm is almost equal to that of a CBR250r honda...it will handle brilliantly

I won't be showing my wife this review. I want her to continue thinking I have a naked motorcycle because it's better on fuel than a car 😂 good review as always. Does it sound similar to the MT07? I've never heard a twin that sounds quite like these new Aprillias but I've only seen videos and not actually ridden one.

Lovely bike! Thank you! But....having that keyhole pointing downwards? Silly!

Love the comment “Italian Supermodel, v. Japanese Housewife” 🤣

which one do you prefer, this aprilia touono 660 or ktm duke 890 r ?

Love it. Japanese housewife is much cheaper where I come from. Even the SP is cheaper. Might stick to Yamaha.

Test rode mt09sp...Holy cannoli what a machine..fueling way better, needs lower bars and to be in my garage

Do you recall your ducati monster 1100 evo video ? How do you find this compares in terms of comfort. I know this will be down on power compared to the evo but the power seems all usable for every day and I'm considering whether you could tour on it

YAMAHA MT09 SP is the gold standard to beat this year

These are available for £7,995 in the UK. That is very tempting and changed your numbers quite a bit

That's quite a colour scheme on this Aprilia - yellow, orange and black. Does it have a fuel gauge as Aprilia is infamous for not providing them? The comparison table at the end is good. This little Aprilia seems to be punching above it's weight with only 659cc. The 890 Duke has an approx 30% larger capacity engine so will be a lot quicker. Probably it's nearest rival is the Street Triple although at 765cc it's still going to have more power and is lighter or how about a Suzuki SV650? Is there still a Honda CB650R?

Is it hooligan enough? (Genuine question). Compared to the V4 1100 Tuono is it a better road bike or is there a chance that you could eventually want for more (on the road)?

Another nice review, but... i felt you are not in a very good mood or maybe you were tired Scott? Sorry for the question but it is produced by the intimacy I feel with you, watching all your videos. I wanted to ask you, compared to RS660 which you found more fun in the everyday streets (urban and open country)?

At the traffic the engine goes high temperature immediately like superbikes?

I am looking for a fun bike. I am in the US and the Aprilia and the 890 are around 12 grand or more. The Mt-09 around 9400...what would you get? Didn’t want to pay that much.

Which one would you buy if you have to buy one between the Street Triple RS, KTM 890R or this Tuono 660? Thank you, nice review by the way 👍🏻

Would you pick tuono, 890 r, or 690 smc r mostly for canyons? It's hard to get gest rides on new bikes around me in the US. Had 675 street triple R (great handling, a bit too much of a sport bike for my taste, too refined to the point of being boring, engine was a snoozefest, decent in canyons, dreadful around town), 390 duke for wife (that thing was a joke of a bike, kind of fun even though it was way too small and flimsy, and had basically no brakes, was ok for put putting around town, that's about it), hyperstrada 821 (decent engine, great ergos, fun around town, suspension and brakes are a letdown in canyons) now. Had a little test ride on a used 790 and kind of hated the unrefined and edgy agricultural engine, suspension seemed to be too soft as well, but the test ride was too short to judge it well.

Great review Scott! As most of my riding is comuting and urban, I'm thinking of trading my BMW r1250GS in for a Triumph Street Triple R but then saw this bike. Have you recently ridden the Triumph and, if so, which would be your pick? Cheers

Did I just see a GPX750R in the background?? Forget 660. Scott you have to make a review on that! 🙂

Great toy. Wooow...for the kg. Top

How is the powertrain compared to the f900?

Hope you'll review the 2021 MT-09 SP soon! That housewife is looking pretty sexy to me now that Yamaha has apparently fixed the handling and throttle response, added some ponies, and put in an IMU (which is a requirement for me for a street bike). With no IMU I unfortunately have to rule out the otherwise impressive Z900, and the Street Triple and 890 Duke are off my list since I feel like they are less comfortable for a tall rider than the MT-09. The 660 Tuono looks underpowered and overpriced in this crowd to me, not to mention the limited number of Aprilia dealers in the U.S.

that price is just parts for IMU and QS....not labor to install.....add another $300 plus for installation

NTP competition chart is missing the CB650R ✌️

Scott we miss you. Hope all is well?

Shouldn't the wet weight of the '21 Duke be 412lbs in the chart?

Has anyone spotted how the headlight profile looks like a bird of prey....

hmm mt09 sp next methinks NTP ?

How come the trident 660 was not included , that's a bargain there since Japanese bikes are getting pricier

Had a deposit on this bike but my wife guilted me so hard I let it go. Really kicking myself. 133 a month payment .9 apr. SHIT!

which one is going to stay home with you, which one is going to take half :)

@1:40 Irrefutable proof that motorcycle riding is similar to romantic foreplay.

It's a pity its just 660cc. At least 800cc and good torque in the lower rpm's and it would be a real contender in the middle class.

traktor

didnt sound like you even got it above 4k rpms

Buyer beware! My Aprilia Tuono 660 broke after 9000 miles. And now my engine has to be replaced under warranty.

I know I will be kicked off this planet, but I really hate the Tuono! It's actually not her fault, but Aprilia's to call her a Naked Bike, when she is not! I'm so annoyed with her and her big sister because of that. Call her what she is, an Allrounder, and I might be able to like her. The fact that both Tuonos seem to be good bikes makes it even worse. They should not be compared to bikes like the BMW XRs. Sorry for being so grumpy Scott, because you know that I like your videos. Anyway.... Take care and stay healthy 👍

Donald Trump made a review of a tuono! 😜

I choose this over MT09 because Tuono looks like a model and the new MT09 looks like a ugly woman.

You sound like Donald Trump lol

This guy talks like trump
