In 2007, the Italian bike maker launched the Aprilia Tuono 1000 R factory, a naked motorcycle in its second year of production. The bike came with the same package as the previous model, with the same technical, visual, and performance specifications without any changes.
Compared to the base model, the Tuono 1000 R Factory featured race-grade fully adjustable Ohlins suspensions, blue or gold-anodized forged aluminum wheels (depending on the model year), a gold-finished frame, a livery that sported Aprilia's Lion head signature on the fuel tank, and numerous carbon fiber parts.
Visually, the motorcycle had standard features, such as a front cowl with a dual headlight system, side panels, an engine cover, a single seat with a passenger cover, a dual exhaust system with a silencer on each side, and gold-finished 12-spoke wheels and frame.
The bike's riding was softened by a 43 mm upside-down adjustable Ohlins fork with 120 mm of travel on the front and a dual-sided aluminum swingarm coupled to an adjustable Ohlins shock absorber with 130 mm of travel on the rear.
The model rolled on 17-inch cast-aluminum alloy wheels fitted with two 320 mm stainless steel floating discs backed up by four-piston Brembo Gold calipers on the front and a 220 mm stainless steel disc with a dual-piston Brembo Gold caliper on the rear.
Power-wise, the 2007 Aprilia Tuono 1000 R Factory boasted 139 hp at 9,500 rpm and 107 Nm (79 lb-ft) torque at 8,500 rpm from a 998cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V-twin engine fed by a fuel injection system.
