Daily rides are more comfortable on the Tuono 660. Because of its upright position and thinner power delivery, it's easier to ride in traffic.

I'd pick the Street Triple R. And the inline three is buttery smooth at all speeds, the extra power is nice for highway merging.

In its commuting role the Tuono 660 wins. This relaxed riding position and better fuel economy make it perfect for daily use.

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.

I like the character of the Street Triple R. Every commute just sounds and feels better with that triple engine.
