Had a spin on a Tuono today, the factory R model, a top peice of kit and seriously fast, couldn't fault it, a little less torque than my S4 but much quicker, when it hits 8000 the front wheel just won't stay down.

Test ride is good. Owning one is bad!

Not the best designed bike out of Italy. Must of been the work experience kids day in when Aprilia decided where to put the rear brake reservoir and dodgy clutch (isn't that a Ducati problem??).

Nice looking bike though! :D

The problems are on there way then :chuckle: Clutch bleeding every 4000-5000 miles, rear brake needs doing aprox every 3000-4000 miles.

Unless a visit to AF1 website has already been made ;)

Nice bike but try getting spares....

I have a mate who waited 15 months for a decal kit...

I have to disagree slightly Jerry. It's not as cool as a Monster but I saw one at Brands Hatch last Monday and I found myself quite surprised by how much I liked it.
