IN THE WIND P46 Aprilia revealed its new Aprilia Tuono 660 priced at $10,499. 2021 Aprilia Tuono 660 First Look T he Aprilia Tuono V4 now has a baby brother in the all-new 2021 Tuono 660. Based heavily on the RS 660 sport bike that was released for the 2021 model year, the Tuono 660 uses much of the same tech and mechanical components but in more comfortable naked bike bodywork. At the heart is the same 659cc parallel-twin four-stroke motor that pumps out a claimed 95 horse- power and 49 lb-ft of torque. The twin-spar aluminum chas- sis is the same, as is the suspen- sion with the rear shock working directly off the swingarm in a package weighing a claimed 403 pounds curb. The 660 is packed with electronics in the same Aprilia Performance Ride Control system as on the RS that fea- tures eight-level traction control, wheelie control, cruise control, engine brake, ABS and five selectable engine maps, with the electronics guided by informa- tion fed by a six-axis Continental Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). A three-stage headlight featuring Daytime Running Lights illumi- nate the ride. Available in Concept Black, Iridium Grey and the same Acid Gold color of the RS, the Tuono is priced at $10,499 MSRP and will be in dealers soon. CN
