- The Triumph Street Triple is a fantastic motorcycle and extremely good value. But how does it compare to the new kid on the block the all new Aprilia Tuono 660? The Tuono maybe a 100cc down in capacity but can it hold its own against the formidable Street Triple? Lets find out!!

The induction noise on the tuono is AMAZING
It's great to hear Aprilia is back in the middleweight class with great bikes. I'd obviously pick the Tuono since I ride a Tuono V4 1100. Thanks for the video, and for not harming all the animals that come your way! (Maybe you are a Disney princess?)
Looking at buying a Triumph street R or Ra . I m 188cm that’s six one imperial,98 kg. I s it physically big enough for taller guys for dag long rides.Any comments appreciated,as my nearest dealer is inSollentuna Sweden, and it saves wasting time if it’s going to be cramped🏍🇸🇪👍
@@philipchard7596 You can check cycle-ergo.com to virtually test if you would fit, the Tuono 660 hasn’t been added yet but it can help you with other bikes.
Edit: Just saw you are looking for the Triumph, good news, it’s on the website (older models though).
I sold my 765RS after 3months because of that riding position... and bought a Tuono1100... never looked back
I’m still chuckling “ Oh dear, that’ll be a police car “.
Haha yes 🤣 surprised me!
@@LambChopRides We saw it before you did!
The Plods up here would have pulled you for clearly you were accelerating ...um...rapidly, and close to or even above the speed limit. Those Plods showed their hand by slowly accelerating beside you, giving you a chance to see them. Here they would have hung back, and nailed you once you were that 3% over the limit tolerance.
Great vid chopsy, just got the Tuono 660
Love it
Great review chopsy, I do like the look of the Tuono and the sound. I think these direct competitors reviews are the dogs 👍
Loving my Street RS !!! 👊😎🤙
Really an amazing review! I love the way you went back and forth between the two bikes, something I've never really seen in a review! Great video!!! You just got yourself a new sub from this video 👍 And now you have honestly got me stumped on which aprilia to get now, the rs 660 or the tuano 660...🤯
Glad you liked it!
Great stuff as always. Would have been very interesting to see the Triumph suspension properly set up for you though.
What more can you ask for, great day for a ride, to then get in and see a notification from Mr chops about more bikes
A man's dream
Great vid Mr chops as always 👍👍
Great review Chopsy. Just came back to this again as looking at RS660, Tuono 660 or maybe going back to a Street Triple again. Looking at the Tuono vs Striple R’s that are a few months old, between the 100-1000 miles on them, the Tuono is now about £1000 less than Triple R. That’s now a big difference and more than covers the cost of a quick shifter, you could even add the IMU upgrade if you wanted and still save a chunk of money.
As a mostly street rider, mostly B roads etc, Tuono seems like a good deal.
Good vid as always!!
Excellent comparo Chopsie!
I watch so many videos of people just saying how great every bike is. Good to see some pros AND cons
Great idea for a video. Good job!👍
Great work. I can't afford either because every time I mention new bike we end up down the home improvements route. Great reaction when you saw the plod 'grab a big handful of front' doesn't give it away much when the light comes on, lol I do it all the time myself. Should probably look in them mirror things they attach to the bikes but there is always to much going on to bother with them things. Joking of course. Thanks for sharing. Another enjoyable watch
Another great vid chops 👍👍👌👌
Thanks for posting. From my perspective and based on looks alone, before the testing started, the Aprilia has a clear starting advantage (granted a shallow and vain opinion, but I am what I am). Your comments during the testing, only re-enforced my preference for the Aprilia over the Triumph. Great job!
Thanks for the great content Chops
Thoroughly enjoyed. Many thanks!! 😄
Do you have a Patreon or similar? Would love to support!
Great video mate 😀 one of these is going to be my first big bike 👍
Great apples to apples review comparison LC!
Another great video, Chops vs cops! You got lucky the cops must have been heading to the donut shop. Love Aprilias, have the 2020 Tuono Factory and for streets its the best bike I have ever had, my buddy is waiting for the little Tuono to come to California and now I am excited to try it!
Great video Chopsy 👍😊
Loved that one, especially the cop car appearance. We saw it before you 😳.
The soundtrack was a treat, the Street Triple just edged it. Need to see the Aprilia in the flesh.
Many thanks for posting 👍
Excellent review as always LC, I would add a few quid and get the Street Triple RS. Traded up my old 675 R a year ago and tried the competition but nothing came close.
👍nice one Chopsy loved the afternoon officer!🏍🚔
Haha thanks Arthur 👍👍
Great comparison Chopsy. So funny entering the Freeway with the Police next to you. Triumph for me, not that I ridden either lol.👍🇦🇺
Thanks chops excellent reviews on both bikes like both bikes .thanks from danny
That Tuono sounds epic!
I would have liked to see you compare the street triple 660s to the tuono 660 as they would be a much more similar bike in terms of price, engine capacity and the fact that can both be legal for an a2 rider. However that being said, love your videos so keep up the great work! :)
Great review... totally agree with what you said about the Tuono re IMU & quick shifter. I'd have the Tuono all day long and sit in my garage with the MV 👌
Your reviews are very good. If I was the same build as yours you would be my complete shopping guide. Cheers.
Great comparison video. On pure looks I think the Tuono has it
Great video, thank you. As I know it, the Street Triple is built in Thailand, the Tuono in Italy. If you then look at the production costs, the Tuono is more expensive. I tried both and last week I bought the Tuono last week. It simply felt more premium. 😀
so which one is better ?
@@brok_izibrok8427 If you aren't an Aprilia fan, I must admit the Street Triple R is better value for money. However they are truly different, you should try them before deciding. One has the feeling to be faster on the Aprilia at the same speed. It is livelier, but slower. The difference is mainly the engine, that is by Aprilia smaller.
I’m worried about long term reliability issues. I’ve seen quite a few people that are on their second motor. The triumph would definitely be more reliable.
@@keltecdan I have a Tuono 660 and Aprilia sent the replacement engine in 1 week. I think this is more than acceptable and we are speaking of 1 year ago. In general, but this relates to all bikes, reliability is much related to how one drives.
@@keltecdan No, not definitely.
Watched your vid a while ago, and came back to it for a good reason.
First off, your presentation is quite spot on and impartial, deeply appreciated it!
The thing i am here for though is the price. You re mentioning and i am sure you 've got it right, that Tuono goes for 9.700 pounds and Street Triple R for 9.100!
Here in Greece, Tuono goes for 10.550€, while the "Triple R" starts from 11.590€! Its amazing if you think about it, and i am sure that UK leaving EU is partially the reason. I remember i noticed it again on a Triumph T100 vs a Moto Guzzi V7iii test, were the Guzzi is much more favorably priced here comparing to UK!
Great video and review Chops.... think id choose the Tuono and try and get qs n blipper in deal👍👍👍
Nice one Mr Chops, really enjoyed that. As most folk will add the quick shifter and blipper to the Tuono I think the Street RS would have been the bike to compare it against. Was surprised the R was so cheap and with the fully adjustable suspension It could easily be dialled in to suit. Keep up the good work! Btw I’ve been waiting so long for the next hypermotard episode, I’ve grown a beard 🧔
Haha well I'm really hoping it will be back in the summer! I'm chasing weekly on progress now on the cylinders
You make bike reviews exciting👍. You should be the new commentator for BTSport Moto GP!!!
If they were both in a car park I'd look at the Arillia. If I was spending my money I'd buy the Z900 at £9,149.
That aprillia sounds better than any twin has any right to
Have you never heard a Ducati ?
@@a.r.1981 you mean the dry clutch "click, click, click, click"
@@tangocharlie2 They haven't had dry clutches for a while now . I assumed you were talking about modern bikes ;)....My mistake
@@a.r.1981 so a bike such as the Ducati V4R isn't a modern bike? ;-) That one runs with a Dry Clutch
@@tangocharlie2 Good old Google eh ;) , yes indeed it is . Its the exception in their complete line up. Do you think it sounds shit ?
Your still the best reviewer in the UK. It'd be good if you could start to do a bit of a riding gear review as that seems to be a bit of a segment that most channels don't cover. Just an idea. Keep up the good work mate. Cheers from Melbourne 👍
Thanks Craig appreciated 👍
Aprilia all the way. I purchased a 2018 1100 Tuono Factory last Aug - I think if this 660 bike was avail then - I might have gone for it. Watching your Video it sounds like the V4 incredible. Good job on the review and excellent video.
Thanks for the comparison Chops , both seem to be great bikes in their own way I wonder which would have the better resell value , a long term test is a great idea for making the final decision easier Ride Safe
Yes good point 👍
Street Triple fan for sure 👍👍❤️😀🎃
Great video, thank you
Great vid, really enjoyed it & very appropriate comparison. My head says Triumph but my heart says Tuono. Heart wins pretty much every time for me when it comes to bikes though. However I agree that Aprilia have blundered on the spec & pricing. This bike should be £9500 tops or maybe £9800 if spec'd the same as the RS660. I'm confident Aprilia will add some bells & whistles to the Tuono for next year.
Great Video...I’m yet to ride the Tuono but I think the street triple will take some beating. Take care Jake.
Superb review, it's a win win situation with which ever one you chose. How do you think the 790 Duke measures up to the Tuono 660, it would be great video to see. I'm really enjoying your content, bit of everything, funny, informative and great bikes.
Thanks Paul, the 790 wouldn't handle or stop as well for sure. New 890 now that would be interesting.. 🤔 👍
Tuono for me, just seems to give you more smiles but that's not to sy the Triumph isn't a great bike either, tuono just has more character!
I personally just bought a Street Triple R. It was quite a bit cheaper with more features than the Tuono (except for cruise control) and has that wonderful triple sound! Sadly I haven't gotten to ride it yet because of all the snow. Hopefully it'll just be a few more weeks.
Just curious, did you buy the Street Triple R over the RS because it was cheaper or did you think that the R offers most of what the RS has?
@@fynn8252 Its going to be a street only bike for me. I already have a track bike. For the road the upgrades don't make any difference to me. I bought a 2020 that had been at the dealership for almost a year so there was $1000 off and still had a 2 year warranty. I got it out the door for $9500. The 2021 STR there was listed at 10,600. They didn't even have an RS in stock so i'm not sure the price difference exactly but still it wasn't worth it to me. That and I think it looks better in the matte gray than the gloss black. The money I saved has gone to crash protection just in case something happens.
@@LamborghiniDriver19Okay, got it. Deciding on whether I want to get the R or the RS as my next street bike. I don't go to the track right now but I may look into it for the future. Personally, I find the extra premium touches nice but if it's over $2k more then it may not be worth it. Although the RS is much more common and available where I live (used market too).
@@JuanRodriguez-ll8tx I think it would be perfect for that. If you are near 160lbs (72kg) the suspension should be just about right. I haven't ridden it yet but I have set the suspension for sag and it seems just about right for me.
I just bought an R too. Waiting for it to stop raining.
Hear the Tuono with the SC project full exhaust and you dont hesitate.
Another fantastic Video, can’t wait for the Tuono 660 to reach California... I love how the cop 👮 blew right by you, hahaha 🤣 , he must have been late for a lunch date
You can buy the IMU as extra! Great video and great bikes! I will take the new MT-09
“It doesn’t have to be the fastest bike in the world” - says a hopped up H2 owner😚
Good review, and .... some new bikes now have rear blind spot radar. Seems like you could do with Police detection radar :-D
Hey Chops, @ 14.15 was that showing the love for the Triple 🤣🇬🇧👍
love the humming sound of the Triumph. Reminds me of my old CBR900
Personally, I'd rather pay that little extra for a made in Europe bike. The Triumphs are actually expensive considering the costs saved paying Far Eastern wages, factory leases, but they charge you only a fraction less than a premium European made bike. Triumph are having their cake and eating it, as they save a lot in manufacturing and charge you virtually Euro build prices. I do not consider them a British bike at all.
Other manufacturers do, indeed, have plants in Thailand and the Far East, but at least they still have factories in their home countries aswell, and distribute the bikes to these different markets accordingly. My Ducati, for example, is made in Italy and my BMW made in Germany. It matters.
I'm pretty sure the majority of the Ape is just assembled in Europe
czcams.com/video/9GAUo8eUXeU/video.html
In respect of where it's "made" (assembled?) I think it may also be a question of where the parts are manufactured and the specifications. This video by FortNine was interesting regarding the manufacturing of the engine.
That's a good point. In my opinion all manufactures should take their plants back in their own land.
Triumph is now moving to India...
@@c.g.c2067 ....... and India appear to be the "cleanest" engine manufacturer. 🤷
I understand your principles but the Triumph still earns its price tag. Incredible bike for the money. I've not experienced an engine as sweet as the 675/765
Both brilliant. Very had to choose. 👍
Pretty unique comparison, searched for french content but it hasn’t been done yet, massive thanks
So if I want to go full send, the tuono might be the best suited for that ?
Yup agree, or try the RS Street 👍
Probably the best comparison video the way you got excited everytime you hit the gas in the Tuono 660 that's why I ride I own a Trident and would love to see a comparison between the triple vs Trident is the triple worth the price difference and the Trident vs Tuono
Aprilia is so beautiful and the sound it makes is epic!!
I would take the Triumph over the 660 Tuono all day and I own a 2018 1100 v4 Factory..
I own a 16 street triple r and a tuono and I prefer the feeling of the triumph. However I believe the v4 in the Aprilias are the best sounding engines ever haha
never. :-) All the way italy. Though probably more the RS than the Tuono.
Fantastic sight seeing the speed the Deer get to poor things.Someone sticks a sliver of tarmac through their natural habitat and its their fault for not looking left and right.I see huge herds of them when riding around the outskirts of Harewood House.Another good vid.
thanks Chopsy.Glad to see the biking Gods were looking after you too.Couple of seconds difference and the cops would have been swooping as you joined the dual Carriageway.
Love your reviews, Chopsy...as always. Any thoughts on whether it would be an upgrade to go from a '14 Street Triple R (675) to a newer Tuono 660? Too similar? I'm afraid the trade in value versus a new or newer Tuono here in the States could easily be $5-6K
Great vid as usual shame science hasn't come up with a dayglo detector yet.....
I like that Tuono but I think I would have more fun on the STR, so I'll say STR this time. Nice review Chopsy.
Fantastic and entertaining review and comparison as always👍🏻🍻 I wonder if the RS would give the triumph the edge back in terms of handling and whether the RS M50 calipers and radial master cylinder would put the triumph’s braking feel ahead.
Yes the RS brakes are fantastic, as good if not better!
@@LambChopRides 👍🏼thank you for your insights Chops
Horses for courses but would have to be the Triumph for me. Great comparison review. I think we all had a laugh at the Police car incident. 😂😂
Really good review, thanks! The Tuono is the better looker in y view. How do these bikes compare with the MT 09 SP. Where I come from it's $500 cheaper than the R. Tuono pricing yet to be advised. Hold your breath it will be high. And the straight MT 09 is cheaper still...
Aprilia has always had the best chassis in business. I own a Streetfighter v4, a Street Triple and a Yamaha and I used to own a Tuono.
Triple R, Tuono or the new MT 09?
I was comparing these two when I looking to purchase. Went with the Striple R! The Tuono was way too expensive(over $2000 more in my currency + quickshifter) for what it is plus the nearest Dealer is 200km away. Made my decision easy.
Street triple will be more reliable as well.
The street is notoriously under sprung on the rear for a heavier rider, which is likely why the front feels light. It also results in a boat more load transfer to the front under heavy braking. Just having a bike with the right springing makes such a massive difference that it eclipses everything else. The rising rate link on the street allows for a lighter rider and gives novices and easier time, whilst allowing heavier riders a reasonable experience.
Hi! I love your reviews! I had a Street triple R 2014 and now I'm approaching to buy an Aprilia Tuono 660 FACTORY. I think this one is more comparable to the street triple than the Tuono 660 basic. It will be very interesting if you make a new comparison between Street R vs Tuono Factory, like old vs new school. Or also Tuono 660 vs Tuono 660 Factory, I'm from Italy, but I didn't find a video comparison on the road like that. Thank you!
I love the way you speak. It sound like Jeremy Clarckson ! 🤗
A great Thank you from France for your vidéo ^^ . I am Currently in big hesitation between these two bikes and I appreciated your comparison which stayed objective . Thank you and ride for fun !!!
Good review man🔥🤙i take the Tuono
Thank you very much for this very informative video. And now we have the tuono factory, with imu quick-shifter, blipper, fully adjustable suspension, shorter transmission for more nervousness... It looks like it meets all the conditions (apart from the price? To see....)Have you tried it?
Street triple my pick this time , great work Chop.
Absolutely love your content! Thank you for what you do! Ergonomically speaking, which one felt better? More comfortable? More spacious? Easier on the knees and wrists?
“Is that a chicken?” 😂😂
# nice review, comprehensive and informative. What about quality, which one is better? as it is said Triumph premium & Top quality, is that right? after 3 years, which of those 2 has more residual value?
I wonder, did you adjust the Triumph suspension? I test rode a Street last year and at first I wasn’t impressed because of the handling. I went back and we adjusted sag, compression and so on and it made a huge difference. The factory settings were not great.
Nice one chops , at the mo I'm pretty sure my next bike will be a triple never owned one
Street triple’s are amazing bikes !
@@RiderReviews a buddy of mine has the street rs really cool bike wouldn't say no to one but I'm leaning toward a speed triple
Thanks Mark 👍
Time for an update! Tuono 660 Factory vs Street Triple RS 😮
765 r must be a great bike but tuono 660 seems more fun on road. I love Aprilia bikes (have an rsv mille R '02 and it's fantastic even today) and 2 cylinder...if only was an 800 cc and 120hp...
I’d go with the one that has 100 extra HP!
100 extra cc
Ducati Streetfighter would have extra 100 hp.
Ducati Streetfighter one ugly bike🤮
Looks like noone watched the video apart from us two mate 😂
What for on the road honestly you use 180hp-200hp on British roads and you are 💯 % going to prison these are more than enough for most people unless you do the small willy waving down the pub with your mates 😂
Subbed. Even tho u said twice, without correction ( tho u corrected urself the first time), something about extra '100 hp' when u clearly meant 'extra 100cc'
Hey mate, I'm a similar size to you and these bikes are both on my short list for second bike (currently have an SV650 I love but eventually I'll want to jump to a "nicer" bike). Any concerns with either in the saddle for the day? You mentioned you don't commute but any thoughts about either as a city commuter, maybe a bit of high way commuting?
That Triumph sounds amazing! I'd have the Triumph!! 😀💛💚❤
Yeah does sound good! 👍
Great video, again! But I have to say, not so much English muscle... more Taiwanese muscle vs Italian flare! 😉👌👍😆
Agree about the spec. Aprillia messed up with that, they shouldn’t have screwed with a good formula. It’s almost insulting, like they’re saying “you won’t know any better if you aren’t buying the sport bike”
Looks,handling,sound and the adjustability of the electronics makes the Aprilla the choice for me.
Hi Chops I am commenting on the comment that Steve triple sent you about the Dave Moss vid. I was wondering why you didn’t really elaborate about that rear suspension shock and why you thought it was better than the street triple suspension, I’m just curious I’ve always enjoyed your vid’s but are you getting compensated by Aprilia in anyway?
I said Ken that the Street Triple suspension is a higher spec but not setup as nicely. Not to say with a full setup it's wouldn't feel as nice as the Tuono. Of course Aprilia are not paying me its how the bikes felt on the day
It sounds weird but I think the comparison between the new trident and the tuono will be awesome.
Curious if you think its a setup difference over an equipment difference. In regards to the suspension feel and tractability of the bikes.
Try the Aprilia Tuono 660 factory, incredible bike
Chicken???? Street Triple R for me. Great vid 😎😎😎
The price talk is specific for different countries. I think in some non EU, non British countries, the price could be more similar, because of the customs and import taxes. Triumph should be cheaper in Britain then in those countries. Anyway, great video!
Pls do a new street vs speed triple video like this
