- To get to grips with the new 2022 #Aprilia #tuono660 #Factory, Visordown has spent nearly a month peddling the little snakes #motorcycle around the roads of the UK and the iconic #cadwellpark circuit in Lincolnshire.
It may not have the headline-grabbing power and spec of its V4 sibling, but on the road and the tight and twisty #Cadwell Park circuit, we think it's more than a match when it comes to the all-out fun factor!

Love the Tuono 660 Factory. I've had mine for a few months and driven over 7000kms on it already. It's abselutely amazing. Handling, comfort and noise. Wouldn't trade for a thing. Came from a cbr1000rr. The Tuono Factory is much more fun, and so much prettier. Plenty fast with the short gearing and up and down Quick shift! Did I mention the noise, it's insane. UA-cam does not show the noise at all. So much base in real life. Sounds like at moto gp bike at high revs.
Been driving for 8 hour trips, still super comfortable.
BTW: The wheelie control sensitivity follows the traction control level. So it can be adjusted along with the traction control. Just not seperately.
On max level the bike barely lets you apply any throttle. On minimum you still have some traction control and it will allow some wheel lift.
The on/off option is additional and gives you the option to turn wheelie control off whilst still keeping traction control on. I use this on my individual setting.
Traction control and wheelie control has 8 levels.
Engine brake has 3 levels.
Abs has 3 levels (last one deactivates rear abs).
Engine map has 3 levels.
Wheelie control also has on/off seperately from traction control as mentioned.
You have commute mode (pre set mode, more like a rain mode).
Dynamic mode, good active mode to drive in.
Individual mode, set everything to whatever you want.
Then you have the two race modes (one of which you can set up everything yourself). In race mode you can adjust traction control from level 1 to 8 whilst driving. This is adjusted with the cruise control buttons (cruise control is not available whilst in race mode).
In race mode you also have a lap timer that can record many laps which you can see in the screen afterwards.
If you have any questions just ask.
Did u have any reliability issues? Thanks for all the information You gave it's very helpful
@@Croth4r driven 7400km now. No realiability issues. Bike has been perfect all the time without issues :)
hey there, I purchase one with complete akrapovic and race configuration. I am still waiting for the beast, but I am curious, coming from a CBR1000rr... you really like the bike? I mean, my only fear is the horse power, little bit lower than the competitors. your sensations regarding horse powers coming from a BEAST like a CBR 1000rr please? and also, have you go into some circuit? sensations?? thank you!
@@Diandrae I like to drive fast in the corners, so to me straight line speed is not that important. However the Tuono does 0-60 in around 3 seconds, this is the same as a cbr1000rr. The difference in speed is more present above 120km/h.
1000cc bikes are to much for the road in my experience, so you can't use the power. On the Tuono you can use the power and all of the revs. Super fun bike. Going to go on track next year with it.
Cbr1000rr you loose your license in 1st gear.. much more fun when you can use 3 gears on the Tuono on the road i think.
Keep in mind that this is Tuono 660 Factory we are talking about, I have not tried the stock Tuono 660.
They have different gears, suspension, power + factory also has Quick shifter and 6 axis IMU
@@Kristofferheihei thank you for your opinion, really usefull 👍☺️
Loving it. Been about 30 years since I rode my BMW 100R in the UK and France, and wow, things have come a long way since then. In my 50s, this 660 Factory is probably about right for me in New Mexico and Arizona. Great honest review.
Great review. Been waiting for decent review on this bike for a while. Nice one
Great job! I love hearing about newbies with very limited track time due to either time in the saddle or a lack of a racing background. 👍😎🇦🇺
I’ve a 2021 660, not the factory. I enjoy it a great deal, and I imagine that the slight bump in power is great. I had to buy a quick shifter and I didn’t get an IMU for it but I felt like it isn’t necessary for everyday riding. I am sure on a track that would be cool. If the standard tells me anything, it’s that continuing to improve the tuono 660 even in small ways is worth it but not totally necessary. Improvement is the right thing to do even though it’s a great bike to start with.
Nice comprehensive review. Seems like a decent fun bike.& I'm definitely interested. Just hanging on see what the RS660 Factory is like first.
Nice review and good riding skills in track. Considering changing my street triple rs, but lots of posts online about iffy reliability on the new 660 engine and electronics borne out by the failed Misano shifter and then on this one going into first. Not sure if I’m brave enough and the Triumph is fault free. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Cracking bike and very decent going Toad 🙂
Hope it's good I've literally just ordered one an hour ago
Oh, it's good. So very, very good. Just took delivery of mine last Saturday and I can't get enough of it. It was too hot and humid to ride tonight, but I had to start it just to hear that sound.
@@sethdfowler I was hoping I'd have mine now but looks like it'll be next week. Have fun
How long it took for delivery? On the site it says 60 days.
I shouldn’t laugh…🤪👍
I’ve heard they can have a lot of issues. Maybe you’ll get a good bike.
Excellent video Toad
Cheers Mick!
WOW AWESOME AMAZING VIDEO FANTASTIC ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Great looking bike.
Thanks for the video I’m mulling over getting one of these bikes
I’m trying to pick my first “big bike” and I am tempted with this.
It's not a bad option at all. On the road it's a corker of a bike.
Well worth a test ride on one!
@@visordown ok Thankyou 👍
Not to shabby laptime 1:52… doing the same laptimes on my 2022 Hyper SP 👍🏻
Cheers! As it's my second time at Cadwell, I was pretty happy I could still remember which way it went!
What an amazing track!
I'd love to have a go on this round Cadwell park, not sure the other riders would be too pleased with my slow arse though.
I'm not sure some of the faster folk on RSV4 and Tuono V4s were happy about my slow arse!
Very Nice
Good angle camera
Great vid, would be interesting for you to take the RS, for a comparison.
I want to do that, track test on the Factory Tuono and RS660. I don't think there would be anything in it!
Great video! Didn't you experience any limitation with ground clearance? I mean pegs scraping at high lean angles? Thanks.
Its suppose to have pretty much the same peg clearance as the RS660. Its what makes its a better naked track bike than others like the ZH2 which as low pegs & will scrape at the track.
Not really, the Factory gets racing style pegs which are a bit more slimline than on the stock bike.
Noticed that you had the AEM on level 2. Level 1 is full beans on the engine power. Wonder if you could have found a little more time.
How is it on the highway and local roads?
I think they should have gone with Ohlins front & rear on the factory model!!
As a city bike, I am very curious. 👍🤪🇨🇦
nice video, is it wise to trade in tuono 660 for this factory? have 2021 model
You can just add the IMU and QS to your current bike. That get's you close. That won't get you the suspension or the (I think) lighter battery. There are probably a few other small things.
@@SuperSnallygaster thanks for your comment and advice, asked at dealer during purchase says IMU not available at the moment, will take 6 months to get here because chip is too short so that is issue
5am and yet it looks like 10am 🤔
Great bike and very capable but surprised they call it a ‘Factory’ with out throwing carbon, Ohlins, Stylema’s and Akrapovic at it. A ‘S’ moniker would have been better for this upgrade over the standard RS.
Except that Aprilia call all their up spec bikes 'factory'. This is clearly an up spec from the standard 660 Tuono
It's a shame that the Aprilia 660's miss multi-level wheelie control... I was just watching an old Lamb Chops vid on the Speed RS at Oulton and it's basically the with that... the bike just looked frustrating to ride fast. Flexible WC is what you need to let you pin that throttle and keep accelerating, it's the 21st century way!
What is WC control? Is it as obvious as it sounds? Adjusts power to the wheel to stop the front end coming up?
@@SuperShowJonesy yeah that's it, some bikes do let you choose how much Wheelie Control you want (also known as anti-wheelie) so you can choose your own level between showing off and keeping front wheel down and accelerating 😁
100hp so no need for that
@@TwisterMa I once nearly flipped an rd125 with 12hp so I respectfully disagree
totally agree. With full wheelie control the corner exit feels jerky, like the bike is stuttering on the power - not ideal.
Cadwell doesn't look like a good track for bikes. It has limited runoff. It looks dangerous.
What a pathetic livery, might be even worse than my V4 factory. Aprilia raised the price of their bikes by 10% and cut the design department by 90%.
It's actually what sold me on the factory model, I'm not a fan of Aprilia's usual loud graphics and I'm a huge fan of the black. To each their own
