La Tuareg 660 della “new generation”, nata per essere la diretta “competitor” del fenomeno motociclistico del momento, ossia la vendutissima Yamaha Tenerè 700, si colloca su un target di mercato agguerritissimo, quelle delle medie cilindrata e dei motori bicilindrici in linea. Esteticamente l’Aprilia Tuareg è piacevole alla vista, ben proporzionata e caratterizzata da un frontale che porta l’inconfondibile firma del designer Michel Galluzzi. Un frontale che richiama la Line Style dei modelli Aprilia con un gruppo ottico full led a V, molto accattivante. Bella anche la linea laterale con il bel serbatoio, la sella intera ed un codino rastremato e ben raccordato. read more
