2009 Aprilia Tuono R Factory, The fact is that the Tuono is simply unique. Not just another naked, the Tuono is a 1000 cc superbike. Only the fairing has been removed, and the handlebars raised. Maximum control is also guaranteed by a host of high-tech racing components. The Tuono has exceeded all expectations. It has proved unbeatable as a road bike, and the Factory version has been invincible on the racetrack, literally dominating the Italian naked racing scene. Not satisfied with success at home, 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, Macao and Daytona, to name just a few events in which the Aprilia Tuono has fearlessly taken on production bikes and competition superbikes too.
