"The sharpest small naked you can buy used right now."

$5,500-$7,500 used

The Tuono 457 is Aprilia finally cracking the small-displacement naked market properly, and used examples are genuinely worth hunting down. That parallel twin punches above its displacement — 47bhp sounds modest until you're threading through traffic and realizing you're grinning constantly. The chassis is properly sorted, not just a rebadged commuter with Italian badges slapped on. It handles with genuine intent. Buying used, check the throttle-by-wire system carefully — early units had occasional software gremlins that feel like hiccups under hard acceleration. Inspect the subframe for any signs of a lowside, since owners who bought these young sometimes forgot they were riding something that rewards respect. Service intervals are reasonable but Aprilia dealers aren't everywhere, so factor that into your ownership math before committing. For the money, nothing else in this class gives you this much Italian DNA without the maintenance anxiety of a full-fat V4. It's the smart buy in the middleweight naked segment right now.
