After a long search and spending too much money, my 2009 black dream factory arrives tomorrow afternoon :) I have an American side stand and a pair of carbon MIVV's to fit. I've had MAP2 set up.
Been riding since 16, now almost 45, but only on big bikes for last 18 years. Live in South West and ride every weekday and weekends as family life permits. Love Aprilias, this is not my first as I have a RSV1000R factory and an RS250 already which live in the dining room! Fancied a more upright position and the Tuono looked the ideal way to go. Should sell the RSV1000R, but can't bear to part with her! Tried enduro racing for a couple of seasons but sold KTM300 to part fund T.

Hi Lumpy, I've owned the RS250 since 2006, only 6k miles on it and apart from the paintwork needed some attention, it's in fantastic condition!
Hopefully the rain will stop this weekend and I'll be able to get the T out for my first ride, if not, it's MIVV and side stand fitting time.
Photo's will be added once the rain stops and I'm not working!
 
Mivvs and American side stand fitted yesterday. I'm amazed that the US stand is so much better. The plate that attaches it to the bike is much thicker steel, the diameter of the stand leg is larger and the angle once flipped down is much further away from the line centre of the wheels, so the bike is much more stable. Apparently, in the US, a stand has to be able to hold bike and rider, hence the higher spec. Mivvs sound awesome :)
 
Blah blah blah. Get some pictures up quick smart!!!!

Glad you like the bike! I'm assuming you said that as I can't read
