ANyone got one? Ridden one?
What are they like? Any good?

Opinions please. Was looking at a Tuono, but maybe this is a bit more practical.

Think Docca's got one, so might be worth pming him, although I haven't seen him online in a while (might be busy with t'nipper).



And when Santa squeezes his fat white ass down that chimney tonight, he's gonna find the jolliest bunch of assholes this side of the nuthouse...Hallelujah. Holy shit. Where's the Tylenol?

I might be selling one shortly, so obviously I'll give you an inbiased opinion

They're quite good bikes. The engine is strong as with all the Aprilia twins - decently reliable and loads of grunt. Brakes also excellent, and the general standard of fit and finish on the bike is good - nice details and they look quite good for a long time

Front end is excellent, adjustable everything on the quality forks, but the rear shock isn't nearly so good - best handling upgrade is a decent rear shock unit

Good bikes, all in all - but I would say that

Stonking Bike.
Great engine (slightly down on BHP from RSV), great riding position, very responsive.
Needs a few tweaks. More teeth on front sprocket, check it has been de-restricted, and a lot of people swap the rear end for a RSV's one. Not too difficult a job.

Depending on your thinking, sounds great with a set of a/m cans on it too.

But as with all bikes, only by riding it yourself will you be able to make the decision of whether it is for you Recently got back on mine after a year without really riding, and have "that bikers smile" back again.


PM me for any specific info that you would like
