Aprilia’s new Tuono 1000 R, the motorcycle that pioneered the market for hypernakeds. The new bike has already triggered immense interest and stimulated intense debate in biker forums all over the world.
Aprilia Tuono has always been different. Not just another naked, it is more of a 1000 cc superbike, from which the fairing has been removed, and to which raised handlebars fitted for maximum control. The Tuono has exceeded all expectations. It is already legendary for its ridability as a road bike, and it has proved invincible on the racetrack too, literally dominating the Italian naked racing scene.
The Tuono has also carried the Aprilia flag on the international racing scene, achieving prestige in epic races like the Isle of Mann Tourist Trophy and Macao.
The Tuono is a street fighter with racing in the blood. Now, the 2006 model has been thoroughly improved mechanically and stylistically. With more blistering performance than before, the new Tuono 1000 R is even more thrilling to ride.
In short, the new Tuono is more refined, more powerful, more Tuono than ever. More modern in design, and more advanced in all aspects of technology, the new Tuono 1000 R sets even harder to beat standards. The new model remains the most high-tech naked around and the absolute leader among twin cylinder machines.
Here is a machine for the demanding motorcyclist, the rider who seeks maximum naked performance, on the road and on the track.
The 1000cc 60° V twin Magnesium engine now develops 133 HP (98 kW) and an impressive 10.4 kgm of torque at only 8,750 rpm. This, plus a rigid but super-lightweight frame, professional suspensions, radial caliper brakes with four separate pads, and a whole range of world class components make the new Tuono impossible to beat when it comes to performance and safety.
The new Tuono will be officially presented at the Paris Salon Mondial du Deux Roues
