Question: What's the difference between the Aprilia RS 660 and the Tuono 660, and which should I buy? 
Answer: Both bikes share the same 659cc parallel-twin engine and aluminum chassis, but they differ primarily in their riding position and intent. The RS 660 features aggressive clip-on handlebars for a more committed sport stance, while the Tuono 660 offers a higher, more upright bar, making it more comfortable for daily riding and longer trips. If you prioritize track weekends, choose the RS. If you want a capable everyday sport bike, the Tuono is the better balance. Our Barrie team can help you decide.

Question: How does Aprilia's APRC electronics system work, and why does it matter? 
Answer: APRC (Aprilia Performance Ride Control) is Aprilia's suite of electronic rider aids. On the RS 660 and Tuono 660, it includes lean-sensitive traction control, cornering ABS, wheelie control, cruise control, ride-by-wire throttle, and multiple riding modes. These systems make the bike safer and more adjustable across different conditions, from wet commuting to track days. It's one of the most advanced electronics packages in the middleweight class.
