Good Points: Brilliant front brakes, smooth and responsive. Acceleration is great. The ride style is very comfortable.
Bad Points: Back brake does nothing for this model. Passenger seat is like sitting on a fence. Very twitchy on the front end on rough roads and can be a handful to keep the front tyre on the road!
General comments: I have just passed the 600 miles on the Aprilia Tuono and it has every thing and more for the rider who wants a sportsbike but does not want to look like a Power Ranger on a full fairing sports bike with the leather suit!
It can blow most sports bikes away with ease and it still makes me smile when I make a jumped up sports biker eat my dust!
Best of all test drive one and if you don't come back smiling then you haven't got bikes in your blood.

I was told when I took the bike for the first service that everyone complains about the rear brake, aparently the fluid boils hence no brake, but even stone cold it`s all or nothing. Verdict acceleration great, wheelieability great, brakes poor!

Am 59 yrs old and have had several bikes beginning in 1961, but the Aprilia Tuono 1000 R for me has it all: superb handling, brakes ie. front, tons of power in any gear, looks. Yes after reading and looking at bike for a few months I test rode the bike along with a superduke and multistrada and am very satisfied with my choice. Other bikes owned: k1200 rs 2-goldwings triumps hondas suzuki yamaha.
