Design Aprilia Tuono 1000R

Aprilia Tuono 1000R

Aprilia Tuono was a naked bike motorcycle manufactured by Aprilia from 2002 through 2010. It was based heavily upon the Aprilia RSV Mille and its successor, the Aprilia RSV1000R superbike with which is shares its engine, gearbox, frame and, partly, its suspension. The Tuono was succeeded by the Aprilia Tuono V4 R for modelyear 2011.

The 2nd generation Tuono, the Tuono 1000 R, is based upon the 2004 - 2010 Aprilia RSV1000R superbike. One technical difference between the Tuono 1000 R and the RSV1000R is that the latter has a rear shock providing control of both inbound- and outbound damping, as well as preload control. The Tuono 1000 R only provides control of preload and inbound damping. This directly implies that the stock Tuono is less usable as a track bike when compared to the Mille. However, since the parts between the two are interchangeable and abundant this should not hinder anyone wanting to use the Tuono as a track bike to change to rear shock.

Furthermore, the Tuono 1000 R has an electronically limited top speed of 249 km/h (155 mph). Other differences are purely cosmetic and comprise of the lack of a full fairing, a superbike handlebar instead of clip-ons and different paint schemes. Like the first generation Tuono, the Tuono 1000 R also employs a steering damper as standard.
