Aprilia Tuono 1000R

[matter]

I just bought a Tuono last summer, awesome bike! If you pull the trigger, try to find an 07 1/2 or newer. Great value on these at the Dealers.

matter - When I buy a motorcycle, I refuse to buy used. Lets face it, I know what I do to my bike, I don't want to wonder what some dolt has done to his previous to my owning it. Factory Fresh or Bust. Also, Heavily leaning towards the Yamaha FZ1

To each their own, that just happens to be as much fairing as I can handle. I like the styling. Bar ends would be a must though. Also, something about that tail.


Fairly certain you meant FZ1, not YZ1...

Here is a picture of the 'european' light kit that I would be purchasing with the bike if I were to get it. This is actually the reason I seriously considered the FZ1, with the light kit it looks SICK!

I bought my Tuono new last summer, a leftover 07 1/2. Seems there is quite a few leftovers of many makes making pretty good values. Paid $7000. and they gave me a good trade in on my Aprilia RSV. The handling is way more consistent than my Lightning and feels a lot more refined. No comparison power wise as it will clean up on the Lightning. Lightning sure is more fun around town though.
