Great video Victor, I really like the Factory you sold me ! I have about 350 miles on it so far .I've got to keep my passages pegs and want to get an exhaust . I'll call you soon, William F.

Feedback/tips from a Tuono owner:

1. I have the base version in lava red, bought before the factory was announced. I've had my IMU on order through my dealer since April LAST year 🙃. Be mindful if you plan on buying a base that you can get the parts.

2. I highly recommend getting the PUIG windshield if you plan on highway riding a lot, I bought it think it wouldn't do much but there was a notable difference in the amount of air that hits your upper chest (at 6'2").

3. The base model does not come with a swingarm guard, anothing highly highly recommended piece.

4. Tighten your mirrors down! Nothing like fighting a mirror that loosened on the highway.

5. I dont know if its just me, but the seat pushes you quite far forward, jewels against the tank. It really locks you in there and find myself pushing the dual rear airbags back a lot. Its still way more comfortable than any sport bike, but does feel on the small side compared to the bigger V4s seat.

Hopefully this helps someone!

Cool side by side comparison! For me the Factory wins my heart overall. Its a no brainer. But I can see multiple reasons why someone would choose the “base”. Can’t go wrong with either.

Great video. Honestly unless someone is hell bent on the Acid Gold colour. It makes perfect sense to go for the Tuono Factory. Especially since you could pay well over 2k to near 3k just to upgrade your 660's suspension to match the Factory model. The only thing I'd change on the Factory is the exhaust and still come out cheaper than upgrading the base model and then adding a exhaust to it. Then again I'm kinda leaning towards the Ducati Streetfighter V2 as my next bike.

Really good informative video!
I have a 2021 Tuono 660 “Base” and the upgraded seat cowl came with it. Looks super bad ass! Love the bike! Very sporty and comfortable.

Thanks for the great vid.. still leaning in the rs660 direction, but the value of the tuono 660 factory is undeniable

Great comparo, the Factory is a huge bargain over base model!

[neilontop]

Another great video indeed Victor. As always Well reviewed. Just like you said the factory model is the better choice. I got mine a week ago. The thing is I like the black-red colors of the basic model and I was wondering whether it’s possible to install the red-black fairing and graphics etc. of the basic model on the factory one. What would be the complete set of fairing and decals I would have to purchase? And where would be the best place to order it online?

The base model have rubber on footpegs and also the rack for luggage.

The factory makes the same power as the RS at 73, 5 kw or 100 hp. The base only makes 70 kw or 95 hp.

[sharifali]

No forged rim. Tought it will be much lighter for pwr to weight ratio

[michaelhawkins]

I wonder if the tires are diffirent/stickier on the factory version?

[ScoutsOut]

Good vid bro, I didn’t know you are in CA i need to get the both the IMU and QS for my base tuono ill reach out through email. Are you able to order the seat cowl in read like the one off the factory bike?

[andrewpurkis]

I wish they produce the factory in acid gold

[TheRealBertMoog]

If I order the QS and IMU (or even just the QS), do I need to take my bike into the dealership to flash the ECU? Thanks

[chrisschepper]

My brand new Factory has burnt 2 quarts of oil in its first 600 miles. Put your money in a Japanese bike. I should’ve.

[jeanfrancoisdumoulin]

Give me red wheels on the factory and i will take it

[IamPhate]

Just a quick note - They do NOT have the same engine. Base model is tweaked to 70kW (95bhp), that means it can be cut to 35kW version for A2 (in Europe). Factory version is actually 73, 5kW (100bhp) so it's NOT possible to cut it to 35kW for A2. This can mean a significant difference for some people.

[C-Low]

Awesome video thanks for the breakdown I’m coming from a 2020 ninja 650 which was my beginner bike and I’m currently trying to decide between a Tuono 660 and the RS 660

I can only buy tuonov4 base model in my country, how much am I missing out compared to the factory?🤔
