Aprilia Tuono 1000R Limited Edition (2003)

The Aprilia Tuono 1000R Limited Edition: a bike that embodies the perfect blend of raw power, precision handling, and aggressive styling. Its 996cc V-twin engine produces a thrilling 130 horsepower and 90 lb-ft of torque, delivering an exhilarating riding experience.

This exceptional machine boasts top-shelf components, including HILAS forks and shock, Brembo brake calipers, and exclusive OZ forged aluminum wheels. The use of lightweight Ergal hardware and hand-made carbon fiber materials results in a weight loss of 2 kg compared to the Mille R, making it even more agile and responsive.

With its semi-faired design and aggressive stance, the Tuono is the ultimate “Street Fighter” – capable of reaching speeds of over 250 km/h (155 mph) while providing an enormous sense of safety. The higher and wider handlebar offers exceptional control and precision, allowing riders to carve through corners with confidence and finesse. This truly unique motorcycle is a testament to Aprilia’s commitment to innovation and performance.
