Just two days back, we reported about the Aprilia Tuareg 660 listed on the India website with all the specifications, confirming its launch in the country soon. Now, news has surfaced on the internet of the prices of the motorcycle, along with some more details that were leaked on the website by mistake before taking it down. As per leaked information, the upcoming Tuareg 660 will be available in three colour options with prices starting from Rs 18.85 lakh for the Atreides Black and Canyon Sand variants and Rs 19.16 lakh for the top-spec Evocative Dakar Podium variant, all prices are ex-showroom. We did reach out to the manufacturer for clarity on the prices and possibly more details on the motorcycle, but the brand refrained from providing any details.
