The 2008 Tuono 1000 R Factory continued with the RSV Factory-derived 139 hp V-twin, fully adjustable Öhlins suspension at both ends, anodised forged OZ wheels and carbon-fibre bodywork. Motorcyclespecs says the bike was mechanically unchanged for 2008, and Aprilia's 2008 material lists Lion Red as the Factory colour. Countersunk fasteners and lighter parts kept it about 4 kg lighter than the standard R.
