The Aprilia Tuono 150 is frequently promoted as an entry level sport bike, though opinions are divided as to whether it is, in fact, a good first bike for any size rider. They say its power is more than new shedders can keep control of safely, and some argue that its sporty ergonomics and responsive engine make it an ideal learning platform. And there's the debate about whether starting on a smaller bike, like the Tuono 150, allows for better skill building than going straight into a larger displacement machine. Second is the cost: some ask whether the premium price of the Aprilia makes sense on a first bike when there are other more budget friendly options out there. We'll hear some thoughts on if the Tuono 150 is just right for new riders, or if beginners should be looking elsewhere.
