Hot on the heels of the recently released 2020 Aprilia RS 660 sportbike is the first look at the Tuono 660 concept bike. Similar to the open-class RSV4 and Tuono, the 660-series will share a rolling chassis with a couple of key elements in place that define the Tuono lineup. A single-piece motocross-style handlebar and bar riser offers a more upright riding position while minimalist bodywork allows you to see the frame and the exposed engine. Even the small headlight and front cowling retain the big Tuono appearance.
On the performance side of the equation, we expect to see the Tuono 660 produce something in the neighborhood of the 100 hp the RS 660 claims. However, Aprilia will also offer the Tuono 660 in a 45-hp version that will target riders advancing through their tiered licensing in countries outside the US.
We have to assume the Tuono 660 will arrive in the next year or two with a full complement of APRC rider assist tech and hopefully a full 100 hp. Until then we have to drool over the images and speculate what Aprilia is up.
