| Most Nakedbikes are detuned shadows of their sportsbike brothers. Not so Aprilia's Tuono, which is essentially a stripped RSV-R. Yeehaa... From concept to customer in just six months is a pretty steep development path for any new model these days - but that's just how little time it's taken Aprilia to get its contender in the flourishing Naked streetrod class into production. Launched at the Bologna Motor Show last December, just five weeks after project leader Klaus Nennewitz and his team were given the go-ahead by company management to come up with the new model, the Aprilia Tuono began hand-built production on May 15 in the company's Scorze factory. To begin with, there's just a single limited-edition batch of 200 high-end individually-numbered bikes, each replete with carbon-fibre, titanium and kevlar components, and costing the not inconsiderable sum of Euro 15,000 worldwide ($A25,000) - plus GST and shipping for Australia, which would bring it closer to $29K! Still, that does | |
