Built around Aprilia's naked motorcycle platform, the 2005 Aprilia Tuono 1000 R Factory features a 997.6 cc (60.9 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 138.7 HP (101.3 kW) at 9,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 96 Nm (70.8 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 139 HP per liter and a 4,000 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (9,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Tuono 1000 R Factory measures 189 kg (417 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.73 HP/kg (1.36 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 820 mm (32.3 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,415 mm (55.7 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 19-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
