Used to own a tuono 660 factory. Will always regret selling it. The sound is amazing and i has all the equipment, but most importantly is that the handling is out of this world. In the real world on twisty B roads there's hardly a bike faster than that Aprilia. On paper yes other stuff is faster, but the handling and confidence the bike gives with the very good brakes it has is insane
Same thing with my 1100 Tuono Factory, it "only" has 177hp but the way it handles twisty roads makes it almost unbeatable. Also high speed stability is the best I've ridden on any naked bike so far.
@@SNAPZ46 yeah I only changed because I got an insane deal on a new S1000RR. I mean it has 207hp and is a dream bike, but on the road you need to be a combination of crazy and very skilled to leave that 660 factory behind. Obviously it would be different on a track, but honestly it would be down to power because the Aprilia really does handle well
@@joeblow5037 they all run out of puff up top saw a clip on the Suzuki 100-200 kph was about 20 seconds when the mt09 ktm 890r etc are around 5-6 seconds
I’m so glad that the “slow” Superbike-looking won. It looks and sounds great and, to those who can afford it, is easily worth the slightly greater retail price.
A 900 class battle would be a good one to do. MT09, Z900, 890 etc. Times for this one is it helps anyone. Aprilia 660 = 11.9, 790 = 11.9, GSX-8S = 12.5, MT07 = 12.8, Z650 = 13.3.
Awesome, Thank YOu! Suzuki did better than what I thought! MT-07 did worse than I thought. KTM was what I thought and the Aprilia did what I thought. I almost bought a 660 Tuono, but got the KTM 890 R instead. I love my Duke 890 R...but I do wonder, what if? The Street Triple RS and MT-09 was also on my list. Next up....MT-09 vs. Duke 890 R vs. Street Triple RS and switch riders each bike. In-other-words: MT-09 vs. Street Triple RS then race same bikes but switch riders. Also, like to see races for 2nd and 3rd place. But I enjoy these!
I've got a 660 Factory. Cracking little thing, great to see it getting some coverage. It's always overlooked in comparison tests... Yes it's more expensive, but it's playing in a higher league than all the others.
I thought about buying one of these but ended up with a hornet which was much cheaper. The Aprilia Tuono Factory sort of sits in a middle ground really between the more budget naked and the premium naked like the 890 and street triple where it would likely come last. I'm sure it's a great machine though 👍
@@paulfowler6665 I wanted the premium handling and tech (IMU based TC / ABS and cruise control, etc) but without too much power, and to that end it fits the bill nicely. I do worry about reliability and build quality a little though...

These are the best , real world form of testing of what Bike is quickest, Fastest 👍, Bravo Guys 👏👏 I would have like to seen The Ducati Monster thrown in just to see how it does. 🤔
Cracking shoot out ... shame it wasn't dry though. Would also like to know what settings you used on the electronics on the Aprilia and the KTM .... I've not ridden the Aprilia but know for a fact that the modes and settings make a big difference to how the KTM behaves.
Aaah, someone too agreed that that 660 twin sounds like a V4. I remember riding my friends RSV4-RF and then years late I come across another friend with the RS660, I had to actually look closely if I misread that it runs a parallel-twin and not a V4. Aprilias are awesome!
So cool ... hers a sugestion do a mid-high range... KTM 890, XSR 900, Z900, street triple... and then mix them up a bit so we can see a difference between bike classes. So like do a ZX6R vs XSR 900 vs Ducati V4s vs Ninja 400 just to get a good idea how much apart the bikes are on drag races basically take the best between categories. Its not about what bike wins but by how much and what happens off the line with each bike. Also consider adding more tests like car wow... do a rolling or potentially even a stop test (though on bikes that's probably going to vary too much)
Thanks Bike World, great video! I want this type of drag racing to keep adding more powerful bikes into the mix. So like now you've got the aprilia as the fastest euro, and the suzuki as the fastest japanese. So you could bring in two bikes from the class above, lets say a MT-09 and a Ducati Hypermotard. We'll see how much they gap the class below, and then next time you put say the GSX-S1000 and the BMW S1000 into the mix, we'll see the gap between those. Then at last of course, throw in the ridiculous exoticas. And then, as one final showdown: The Ducati V4 streetfighter vs the MT-07.
What a great comparison. I've got the 8S. Love that bike! If Aprilia had better dealer network - I probably would have gone for their 660 Tuono. Shame.
@@sk2283 so true, I still hear that excuse for not buying an Aprilia often. Also they like to lie to themselves about the long wait times for parts and high prices for maintenance when in reality both are not a problem and prices are on par with Japanese manufacturers.

Hmmmm, I don’t think the. CB500x was the first middleweight twin class. The one that started it all off started it in the late 1980’s. It was the GPZ500s. I had one if the first ones and it was a quick little bike for the day capable of over 130mph.
I was really close to buying an Aprilia 660 Factory but I just couldn't trust it's reliability. Sounded amazing though and perfect for riding on the road.
Good call. Sadly the italian brands, and to some extent all euro brands have reliability issues. As long as I'm a one bike man, I'll be riding japanese bikes. But I'd love to have a european bike as a second bike. But I'm not about to have my season ruined because of reliability issues!
Having ridden Honda for the past 8 years, I bit the bullet and got a 21 Tuono V4, and I haven't looked back once. I love it to bits! The power, the noise, the way it makes you feel! Reliability has not been an issue so far 🤞
I can't understand... you can drive on comute and stay under 8000RPM and it rides super soft. Everything is adjustable from mapping to throttle response.
why did u use the 790 duke instead of the 890? The aprilia factory with 100 hp was used ant it cant be a2 registerd, why not go with the bigger KTM then.
I have 2x 660 Tuono and we love ❤️ it so much 😍 So easy too drive and it feel like a big bike by 7000RPM+ and the Sound from the Airbox 🤩 For Comute it is also great an my Wife love it too. You can be faster in every corner than with the big TuonoV4. It is so stable and gives you so much confidence.

* Z 650 - 67hp
* Tuono 660 - 100hp

* Kawasaki is the only Japanese factory that doesn't employ 270⁰ crank on their parallel twin bikes, they use traditional 180⁰ crank instead
* Aprilia on the other hand uses refined cp2 engine which is also found in their RS 660 that yields immense hp.

@xorbe2 if you talk about ZX6R, yes, but ordinary Ninja 650, no.
@@alphajed7700 See this is why they need to line up!
Next time please, could you show the complete time sheet at the end ? Thanks
How can you do this without the Street Triple?
The answer is in your question…
It would be interesting to see the same but with the A2 restriction
That would be interesting
Wouldn't that mean they would all be capped at 47hp couldn't imagine what the results would be.
Where's the hornet?
We couldn't get a Hornet or Trident.
Do them all again with the sv 🥹 wana see if the oldie can hold them off . For me the sv tops all the middle weight Nakeds
What about the Street triple 765?
Where's the Honda?
You wouldn't get home on the Tuono, unless going via the garage. Mine lasted 9 months and 3 warranty claims later it was gone.
Amazingly , the Suzuki looks the best , especially the Blue which is not usually my color .
I have a new hornet.Why is it not involved? I really wanted to see how that went!! Not seen it drag raced against the GSX-8s and would fancy its chances. Also Aprilia shouldn't have been the factory model to make it fairer against the KTM surely?
We couldn't get a Hornet, and Aprilia won't officially allow their bikes to be drag raced so we have to get what we can.
You just have to do more of these, but the F%$& was the 750 Hornet?
That’s absolutely amazing show
The bikes should have the same tyres, as the MT07 had the best tyres for this conditions, by far.
Cb650 and 750?
Wish you had a Triumph in the mix
Bom vídeo, porém faltou a descrição da ficha técnica comparativa e os tempos de cada uma .
Aww no Street Triple RS? Was hoping to see triumph in the line up😢
Street Triple is a class above.
The Triumph in that category would be the Trident.
Also bummed by the absence of the Hornet 750.
Does it ever stop raining in UK? Not sure why anyone would want a bike there. Get 1 month of decent riding weather
No Triumph?
