00:00Hey riders! Today, we're checking out the Aprilia Tuano for 57, the A2 license-friendly
00:07street fighter that's got everyone talking. Priced at just £6,130, it's basically the
00:13RS for 57's wild little sibling, but with straight bars, minimal bodywork, and a whole
00:19lot of attitude. What is it, really? Think of it like this, Aprilia took the RS for 57,
00:26removed the fairings, gave it upright handlebars, and turned it into a lean, mean street machine.
00:32It doesn't pop wheelies like the big Tuano, but it still has that same fun-loving DNA,
00:37a sporty, sharp, and loud performance and ride feel. Under the tank is a 457 cubic centimeters
00:46parallel twin with a 270-degree crank, first seen in the RS for 57. It might not be a beast like the
00:53V4, but man, it's got punch. The power delivery is smooth, the exhaust has a nice growl, and it
01:00feels eager whether you're cruising or carving corners. On twisty back roads, the Tuano for 57
01:07is a blast. The brakes are solid, the suspension sporty and supportive, and the footpegs stay clear
01:14even at full lean. Only catch? The ride is firm, thanks to sporty suspension and budget tires.
01:21But hey, if you're buying a Mini Super Naked, chances are you like it that way.
01:27Electronics and tech. You get?
01:31Three riding modes, Eco, Sport, Rain.
01:35Traction control and ABS, with adjustability.
01:39Classy TFT display.
01:41Backlit switchgear.
01:43Adjustable levers, power maps, and more.
01:47Yeah, Aprilia didn't cheap out on tech.
01:49Comfort and ergonomics.
01:52Here's the deal, it's light, compact, and perfect for shorter riders or beginners.
01:58At just 175 kilograms, it's super easy to handle at low speeds.
02:04But if you're tall, say, over 6 feet, you might feel a little cramped.
02:08The footpegs are high, and the tank doesn't leave much room to move.
02:12That said, the high bars and 12.7L fuel tank do give it a big bike feel.
02:19Tyres and Suggestions.
02:21Stock tires are Eurogrip ProTorque Extremes.
02:25Okay for most situations, but if you really want to unlock this bike's full potential,
02:30swap them out for a premium set of sport tires.
02:33Pricing and Rivals.
02:34At just over £6,000, the Tuano for 57 is seriously well-priced, especially for what you get.
02:43Rivals include.
02:45Kawasaki Z500, £6,049.
02:48Honda CB500 Hornet, £6,199.
02:55KTM 390 Duke, £5,699.
03:01CF Moto for 50 NK, just £4,299.
03:06So yeah, Aprilia is keeping it competitive without losing that premium touch.
03:12Build quality and reliability.
03:14No major complaints from RS for 57 owners so far, and since the Tuano is mechanically identical,
03:21you can expect solid reliability.
03:24Build quality?
03:25Really good for the price.
03:28Nice finish, solid parts, and nothing feels cheap.
03:32Colors and accessories.
03:34You can pick it up in red or grey.
03:37Aprilia is also offering a bunch of add-ons, performance bits, touring gear,
03:41and even a throwback red anodized chain and lever straight out to the 90s.
03:47Final thoughts.
03:48So who's it for?
03:50If you're on an A2 license or just getting into bigger bikes,
03:54the Tuano for 57 gives you a taste of what a proper super naked feels like
03:57without the crazy price tag or intimidating power.
04:01It's fun, stylish, tech-packed, and built to grow with you.
04:06Yeah, you'll eventually want something faster, but for now?
04:09The Tuano for 57 might be all the bike you need.
04:14That's it for today.
