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.

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.

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.

Is the Aprilia Tuono 660 a good first bike for a tall rider?
15 January 2025 09:27
Absolutely! I'm 6'2" and was on a Tuono 660 when I started. For taller riders, the upright position is great and the power is manageable if you know what you’re doing.

I'd be cautious. It is comfortable for tall riders, but 95hp may be too much for a beginner. Maybe you should look at something like a CB500F first.

I had started on a 300cc and as a tall rider, I wish I'd gone straight to something like the Tuono 660. It is versatile and you can grow into it.
Is the Aprilia Tuono 660 a good first bike for a tall rider?
15 January 2025 09:27
Regardless of height, it’s a bit much for a first bike. It’s not cheap and it’s not easy to drop, so I would not recommend it to new riders.

Tall beginners will love the Tuono 660! The riding modes let you be conservative and work your way up into more power as you get more comfortable.
How do the Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory’s electronics stack up against other high end naked bikes?

Aprilia's electronics are top notch. The APRC system is very complex and has a lot of user customization. It's definitely on par in terms of, if not better than, most competitors.
