Aprilia Tuono 660

There is only one Tuono 660 to buy, priced at ₹18,63,817 ex-showroom in Delhi. The only decisions left are colour and whether to finance it.

That makes it priced 115th lowest among the 137 sports bikes we have reviewed. Its closest price rivals are the Hypermotard 698 Mono (₹6,483 more) and the RS 660 (₹32,061 more).

On the road in Delhi the base Tuono 660 comes to ₹20.8 Lakh: ₹18,63,817 ex-showroom, ₹1,61,105 in Delhi road tax and registration (8.6%), ₹55,126 for first-year insurance. Dealers add handling and accessory packs on top; both are negotiable.

Power comes from a 659cc single producing 93.87 bhp and 67 Nm, paired with a 6 Speed. At 183 kg the power-to-weight figure is 513 bhp per tonne, which ranks 32 of 135 in its class here.

Peak power is high relative to torque, so this engine rewards revs: it feels ordinary below the mid-range and comes alive above it.

Chassis hardware includes USD front forks, a rear monoshock, dual-channel ABS, a slipper clutch and traction control, with a disc, 320 mm, 4 piston caliper up front and disc, 220 mm, 2 piston caliper at the rear.

The 820 mm seat is on the tall side. Riders under 5'6" should sit on one before buying.

On safety kit the Tuono 660 has dual-channel abs, front disc brake, rear disc brake, tubeless tyres, traction control, side-stand engine cut-off and hazard lamps. Dual-channel ABS is the one item on this list worth paying for if it is variant-dependent.

What it lacks: usb charging port, which rivals at this price offer. None of these are deal-breakers, but they show where the money went.

It is offered in 2 colours: Rush Grey and Torque Red. Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.

Standard warranty is 2 years, unlimited km.

Service reach is the weak point: Aprilia has about 150 dealer and workshop touchpoints across the country. Confirm there is one within reach before you sign.

The Tuono 660 launched in 2024, so long-term reliability and resale data are still thin. That is not a mark against it, just a reason to prefer the standard warranty and keep service records.
