WORTH WORTH
THE COIN
Considering the bike you get for under $11,000,
the Tuono 660 makes a pretty compelling argu-
ment. The best part about it is the performance
is enough to keep any rider of any skill level
interested, much like its faired RS 660 brother.
The Tuono 660 is the bike Aprilia needs
almost more than the RS, simply because of the
usability and the fact it will likely appeal to more
riders than the RS. It's an excellent little bike,
which will likely pull riders into the Aprilia fold
and keep them there.
