The Street Triple R is more versatile. In the city it's just as good, but on the weekends it gives you more oomph to have fun.

I have both, and the Tuono 660 is better for commuting. Surprisingly, for a naked bike, the wind protection is pretty good.

For me, the Street Triple R wins by a narrow margin for its reliability. Triumph's track record for reliability is hard to beat, but Aprilia's are great.

Tuono 660 all the way. It's a tech lover's dream for daily riding, particularly with the Factory model, because of the electronics package.

Does the Aprilia Tuono 660 have 'dead spot' in the mid range?

Honestly, I barely notice it when I’m riding normally, but it’s there. It’s not as hard as it seems. Once you get used to the bike, you just work around it.

The dead spot is real and it can be annoying. That makes the bike sluggish in city riding where you're often in that RPM range.

With a tune and exhaust, I fixed mine. It now pulls smoothly throughout rev range. Worth the investment!

It is a little flat spot but exaggerated online. It's not nearly as bad as people say it is.

I don't find it a problem as I come from a twin. That’s just part of the engine character. It's not a non issue when you learn how to use the gears.

At first it bothered me but now I appreciate it. It makes the bike more manageable in traffic and then it really comes alive at higher RPMs.

My biggest gripe with the bike is the dead spot. If you’re in that RPM range it’s frustrating because you want to make a quick pass.

If you're coming from a bigger bike, I think it's more noticeable. I have nothing to compare it to as it is my first 'big' bike and I love it.

I’ve done a 1000 mile weekend on my Tuono 660. It's surprisingly capable with a tail bag and tank bag. It's a lot easier when you have an upright position.

It's not ideal for touring. After a couple hours on the highway, the lack of wind protection gets tiring.

I put a taller windscreen and comfort seat. It's great for long trips now. Long stretches are a breeze with the electronics.

I’d prefer to have a dedicated touring bike. While the Tuono 660 is fun, it’s not a bike built for covering big miles in comfort.

Sport touring is perfect for it. It's light enough to be fun in the twisties, yet comfortable enough for all day rides.
