Except for the fact that Aprilia's intention with the Tuono was/has always been for it to be a "naked-superbike". That's also what has gotten it good reviews in the past. When everything else is watered down, "relaxed" garbage, here's this bike that is basically a superbike without fairings. I also think that's why it has the following it does from a select group of riders. Aprilia did what so many buyers do. Buy a sportbike, realize it's uncomfortable, and put riser bars on it and be happy with their sportbike that's still livable.
