Well I sold my speedy and decided that having been my fifth Hinkley triple decided it was time for a change. Been wanting to go back to a big vtwin for some time and the only marque that I haven’t owned was Aprilia. So went and purchased a Tuono Factory in Black, must say that so far over 2000 miles I am very impressed. Let’s hope the love affair continues? Regards to all Lou
That looks bang tidy I did see a gen2 model among lots of bike in Girvan,must have been organised run dozens of bikes heading to Stranraer direction.
Very nice Tuono there. I owned and RSV and an RSVR Edwards Rep and rode those bikes for around 12 years with the only things ever going wrong being (the usual) a failed seal on the clutch slave cylinder (oberon slave retrofitted which is the best cure for the factory slave cylinder failures) and having the starter solenoid uprated. Both these "upgrades" are, longer term, necessary on the RSVs and Tuonos. Probably the best all round bikes I've ever owned. Fast, characterful, reliable, comfortable and great handling. Real world, you can use the performance, unlike more modern sports bikes which are better suited to the track. The guys to entrust your bike to are Aprilia Performance located in Tamworth. Best specialists for Aprilia on the planet and Griff takes care of his customers really well, the guy's a legend. Enjoy!
Yes Andy it is quite loud even with the baffles in. I dread to think how loud it would be without the baffles, I am lovin the bike more than enough shove for me
