Aprilia Tuono



Saw one of these today, the 07 model and fell in love with it.

If I chop my bike in against it, I get it for 170 a month over three
years, this a just about affordable, but I have a few concerns.

After being used to 4 cylinder bikes and enjoying the high revs, how
am I going to get on with a twin? Its a high power twin, but im
concerned that I wont like it (the dealer cant give a test ride).
Walk away.
No unfortunatly Im on the Isle of Man and there is only the one dealer.
Kinda puts me in a spot really.
Well then don't buy it.


I was going to get a GSXR 750 K8, but may well swing toward the Tuono
instead.
Exactly what I am afraid of.



Thanks for the reply - I have emailed the guy and said that I cant even
consider it without a test ride first, now I have had a chance to think
about it, and dont feel the need to go out and get it immediatly, the
pressures off a bit.

Thank god I didnt have my cheque book :)


Is it practical to carry a pillion on the Aprilia, or will it be as
bad as the GSXR?

And generally speaking, what is the backup like and how good is the
availability of accessories?
backup depends on your dealer. if you're in the london area, the aprilia
centre are good people but don't have a lot of space so you may need to
be flexible.

accessories, try taking a peek at http://rsvr.net/


Anyone in the know ?
