The Aprilia Tuareg 660 has been spied undergoing road tests aborad. The middleweight adventure motorcycle is expected to make its way into the Indian market eventually. The new Aprilia Tuareg 660 is based on the same platform which has given birth to the fully-faired Aprilia RS 660, and the recently revealed naked streetfighter, the Aprilia Tuono 660. Going by the spy shots, it seems that the adventure member of the new 660 family has still got a long way before it reaches the production line.
It can be seen in the spy images that the
test mule of the Aprilia Tuareg 660 is wearing black camouflage. It has a small
and weird-looking, single-piece headlamp, a windscreen, tiny triangular
blinkers, and a single-piece tubular-type wide handlebar. The riding position
is quite upright and neutral, thus, should help in traversing long distances
comfortably.
The upcoming Tuareg 660 would be equipped
with a pair of USD front forks, dual front disc brakes, and spoke wheels - both
of which (front and rear) appear to be of the same size. We can also see some
testing equipment mounted at the back of the prototype. The large and ugly
exhaust system is likely to be replaced by something much better for the
production model.
While the Aprilia Tuareg 660 specs are not known at the moment, this adventure motorcycle will likely use the same 660 cc twin-cylinder engine that is fitted in the RS 660 and Tuono 660. Also, we wouldn’t be surprised to see the same set of electronics in the Tuareg 660 that Aprilia has provided in the other two 660 cc motorcycles.
