The blue red and withe color scheme is the one to go for. Great review Rikky. Covered it all. This bikes revs a bit higher than the competition. 9250 rpm means a high revving bike. That is why it feels a more fun ride, as I see it. :) Keep up man, you got my like.

You can leave with zero throttle easily. No issues with stalling. I have 1500 miles on mine.

Please stop recording yourself when riding (as a viewer going backwards), not interested to see your body.
Point the camera strait ahead in the direction you’re going.

I own a 22 Tuareg 660 and your absolutely correct about the suspension as I felt the exact same thing. When looking into the manual Aprilia stated the stock settings are for riding with luggage and or a passenger well rounded for slow to fast speeds. The manual offered specific spring preload, compression, and rebound settings (front & rear) for a single rider, no luggage or passenger. Once you get the settings down for your style of riding the frame suspension and wheels work together perfectly. Great Video!

Excellent in depth review Rikky not my cuppa tea but seems a good bike with a few niggles and I have to say it's citrus yellow nothing gold about it 😉good watch though cheers 👌😊

The best solution to avoid the buffeting might actually be to remove that screen.
