[Music] what’s up YouTube this is biker Kev doing another review today I have a 2024 ailia tono 660 factory version let’s have a quick look at the engine so this bike is a 659 CC parallel twin 270° crank it’s water cooled with a double overed Cam and four valves per cylinder it produces 100 brake horsepower at 10,500 RPM and 67 newm of torque at 8,500 RPM it has a six-speed gearbox and it’s on a a aluminium beam frame the fuel tank holds 15 L with an average miles per gallon of 51 MPG and the bike is 181 kg wet weight let’s move to the front so the front brake is Twin 320 mm discs with a Brembo four piston radio mounted caliper the suspension is a kayaba inverted upside down Fork 41 mm with 110 mm travel and it has preload and rebound adjustment let’s move to the rear the rear brake is a 220 mm with a Brembo wind piston caliper the rear suspension is a single shock with 130 mm travel and is also rebound and preload adjustable the seat height of the bike is 820 mm obviously being an Aprilia it’s packed with loads of Technology I’ll show you the TFT Dash there you go it’s a very colorful TFT Dash now Electronics wise this bike being the factory comes standard with a 6axis IMU which has lean sensitive cornering ABS it also has traction control and wheelie control we also have five Rider modes with three for the road which includes commute Dynamic and individual and you also get two track modes I’ll show you the modes at the moment as you can see we’re in Dynamic press the button we can go into individual and then we can go into commute that is all done by holding this little button underneath the start stop so if I keep pressing it it will toggle through the individuals if you press and hold the button this screen will come up which will tell you exactly for each individual riding mode you’ve got ailia engine management ailia engine brakin traction control anti- Wheeling control and abs the higher the number the means the more it’s active the lower the number means it’ll be basically Switched Off I think you’ll agree the Tona 660 is a very attractive looking bike so have a quick walk Round look at those daytime running lights I think that is uh very good looking let’s R to this side take a look there’s your quick shifter up and down thing you also have a Brembo radio master cylinder for your front brakes and you also have a Brembo master cylinder for your rear brakes let’s give the bike a start up so you can have it listen so to start it you just hold this button down [Music] so there you go there’s a little walk around video of the 2024 ailia 20o 660 Factory let’s take it for a ride right okay then guys let’s take out the uh 660 209 Factory for little test ride and let’s get our uh Impressions and our reviews on it let’s go first of all swing my leg over now with a seat height of 820 mm I can’t flat foot both sides I’m sort of on tiptoes but the bike’s not that heavy so it’s easy to to hold up not too bad switch the dash on Lovely looking Dash I love that Dash start it up I’m currently in Dynamic mode which is kind of like the in the middle of the three settings into first all right then off we go [Music] okay what can I say first thing the seating position is very upright you’re sat almost vertical so I can feel zero weight on my wrists at all seats nice and comfortable nice and padded seat I think it’s a very comfortable position actually I think you could ride like this for quite a long time very upright but also being a sort of the tono which is kind of like the naked version of a prilia 660 range there’s not much wind protection little screener at the front doing a little bit but it doesn’t give you huge amounts of wind protection so that’s not too bad cuz the more wind hitting you in the chest the more upright position you are so the better for your wrists and your hands obviously this being the factory version is lighter than the version it’s only a couple of kilog lighter so this is 181 kilos so when you’re riding it doesn’t feel too heavy you can sort of lean it in quite nicely that’s good mirrors mirrors are nice and wide cuz they’re as you can see they’re on the handlebars so the mirrors are nice and wide so mirrors I could probably say 20% of my arms and shoulders and 80% of what’s behind me they’re nice and clear no vibrations on the mirrors at [Music] all this bike has only done 444 miles so I’d have to take it easy on it national speed limit Z I’ll tell you something it makes an extremely good noise wow the induction noise is awesome s of get it about 4 or 5,000 RPM pin the throttle open you get a really nice induction [Music] noise so obviously this bike does come with a quick shifter up and down so third fourth fifth very nice very smooth quick shifter I’ve been advised quick shifter works best above 3,000 RPM anything below can be a little bit jerky try the down shift fifth fourth third second as you can see uh rev [Music] matches very nice quick Shas is nice and smooth bril has done a very good job on that one at TFT Dash very clear I can see every information I need to see I can see my miles per gallon I can see the uh speed gear indicator temperature fuel it’s all clear all easy to read that’s a bonus quick shifter down fourth third second first clutching cuz we’re coming to a stop [Music] right flip oh that’s got some pull on it that has some [Music] pull that wasn’t even full throttled wide open cuz obviously being a new bike I can’t go too crazy on it but that pull very nice get 100 brake horsepower the most powerful in its [Music] [Music] class let’s go from fourth into fifth oh quick shifter again very nice and smooth right I’m going to see what this is like in very heavy traffic sort of around town let see what the uh slow speed controls like on this bike all right let’s test the front brake only make sure there’s nothing behind me doing 40 m hour front brake oh yes very strong front brake those BRBO calipers are very strong very strong that wasn’t even fully putting the brake lever in they could go even [Music] stronger okay I’ll test the rear brake now from 40 m hour make sure there’s nothing behind me okay rear brake only okay rear bra will certainly slow you [Music] down obviously you don’t use your rear brake mainly mainly your front brake which is why it’s so much stronger stopping power but those bro brakes are uh really good really powerful very strong okay guys and girls let’s see what the toron is like in slow moving traffic currently doing 20 M hour doing 20 and3 2,000 RPM nice and smooth no jerkiness go down with a quick shifter down into [Music] second don’t have no issues at all with slow moving traffic as you can see oh that bump suspension soaked up quite [Music] [Music] nicely in third 25 M hour just under 3,000 RPM bike’s very smooth this sort of speed it’s happy to do it low speeds low RPM not a problem at [Music] all okay next I think we’ll see what it’s like on an open road on a motor and the national speed [Music] limit okay then let’s see what this is like Motorway a national speed limit so far I’m doing 60 in sixth gear 4,000 RPM nice and smooth no problems there sort of controlling this sort of [Music] speed once I get a clear bit of traffic I shall set the cruise control so to set the cruise control on this bike you got this toggle switch here put it over to the left and hold it until you see the green light flashing on the dash that’s to say it’s in cruise control to activate your cruise control at the speed you’re going if you push it to the left again the green light stays solid take your hand off and there we are cruise controls Now set we’re now doing 57 mph set on cruise control now you can go push it forward to go go faster or put it back to slow down so there is your cruise control now if you do suddenly have to break it will deactivate the cruise control but not set it back again to set it back if you want it going on you just have to talk with the switch again and there we are it’s set and if you want to completely switch it back off hold the button over to the left again and it switched off cruise control on the motorcycle absolutely wonderful complete Game Changer I believe so Motorway speeds okay I’m doing 60 that’s not too bad comfortable could been a few vibes through the foot pegs a little bit on the bum through the seat the handlebars okay they’re not too bad on the handle bars obviously being in an upright position it’s very nice and easy to cruise on the motorway at Motorway speeds you’re not going to get tired quickly at all you know you could quite easily do long distances on this bike you could possibly tour I guess I mean it’s certainly capable of it it’s definitely a touring position the toona so there you go Motorway speeds happily can do it cruise control on Motorway best thing ever absolutely amazing a pry have done a wonderful job with these bikes the technology they put on them is is [Music] outstanding say you open the throttle the induction noise is amazing sound absolutely brilliant sound this induction noise I pra have made a good sound in bike here put an exhaust on it and it would sound even better so then guys my jy’s coming to an end on the torono [Music] 660 so what’s my final thoughts on this bike nice seating position good and ight power it’s got plenty of power good amount of torque looks ailia looks absolutely amazing so from me it’s a big thumbs up I absolutely love this bike absolutely love [Music] it so this is the end of my review of the tono 660 Factory three and I’m biker Kev signing off and always ride safe
