Introducing the 2009 Aprilia Tuono 1000 R FACTORY, a naked bike that seamlessly combines power, performance, and Italian flair. As part of Aprilia's celebrated lineup, the Tuono 1000 R FACTORY stands out in the competitive motorcycle market for its aggressive styling and impressive engineering. Designed for those who crave spirited rides and unparalleled handling, this bike is a perfect choice for both spirited street riding and exhilarating track days. Its striking red paint job not only demands attention but also encapsulates the bike's racing pedigree. At the heart of the Tuono 1000 R FACTORY is a robust 997.60 cc V-twin engine that delivers a fiery 136.78 horsepower at 9,500 RPM and a torque of 107 Nm at 8,500 RPM. This powerful engine is paired with advanced fuel injection technology and an integrated electronic engine management system, ensuring crisp throttle response and optimal performance across the RPM range. Riders will appreciate the smooth delivery of power as they carve through corners or accelerate down straightaways. With a lightweight frame tipping the scales at just 181 kg (399 lbs) and a power-to-weight ratio of 0.7557 HP/kg, the Tuono offers exhilarating acceleration and nimble handling that makes it feel alive on the road. The Tuono 1000 R FACTORY is not just about raw power; it comes equipped with cutting-edge technology and features designed to enhance the riding experience. The Öhlins Racing suspension, featuring a 43 mm upside-down fork in the front and a piggy-back monoshock in the rear, provides exceptional handling and comfort, allowing riders to tackle both twisty mountain roads and urban streets with confidence. The bike's braking performance is equally impressive, thanks to its double disc front brakes and single disc rear brake, delivering powerful stopping power when you need it most. Additionally, the multiple disc clutch with patented PPC hydraulic control ensures smooth gear transitions and a responsive ride, making every journey a thrilling experience. **

Pros

  • Powerful Engine: The V2 engine offers an exhilarating ride with impressive horsepower and torque, making it suitable for both everyday use and spirited performance.
  • Advanced Suspension: The Öhlins Racing suspension provides exceptional handling and comfort, enhancing the overall riding experience on various terrains.
  • Lightweight Design: Weighing just 181 kg (399 lbs), the Tuono is agile and responsive, allowing for quick maneuverability in urban environments and on the track.

Cons

  • Seat Height: With a seat height of 810 mm (31.9 inches), it may be less suitable for shorter riders, limiting accessibility for some enthusiasts.
  • Fuel Capacity: The 18-litre fuel tank may require more frequent stops on long rides compared to competitors with larger tanks.
  • Naked Design: While the naked bike aesthetic is appealing, it offers less wind protection, which might not be ideal for long-distance touring or highway rides.
