Good, but not cheap

So you can imagine enjoying day trips or the ferries of everyday life on normal routes with the BMW G 310 GS. For the big tour she is rather too unrelaxed. BMW is calling for around 6,050 euros for this model. The question then arises as to who should buy this. Sure, it is suitable for beginners qua law. But as a pure beginner bike a bit expensive.

BMW's 310 series has clear qualities. If you can do without the rather limited touring ability anyway, you should take a look at the already mentioned G 310: Here you can save another 700 Euros.

The test bike was provided to us by Bergmann and Söhne in Pinneberg near Hamburg.

Conclusion - what gets stuck

You Aprilia Tuono 660 keeps what she promises. She is a sporty-racy naked bike with gaaaanz a lot of character. The price of 10,500 euros is somewhat ambitious, especially compared to the sister RS 660, where the QuickShifter is in series production. Despite the surcharge of 219 Euro on this bike we would definitely recommend the QuickShifter, because it fits a) to this bike and because b) the 6-speed gearbox is a bit boney and hooky.
 
The Tuono doesn't leave you cold, it's not perfect and that's a good thing. Each ride becomes an experience and design as well as volume let a Tuono biker stand out from the crowd - bike!

The test bike was provided to us by Zweirad-Technik-Schielmann in Bokel - thank you very much.
