Hey all,
If any of you check the first gen posts, you'll know I had my bike stolen a few months ago. After no theft insurance plus a car accident, its taken me a while to get financially right again. So now I am looking at the V4 Tuono along with the other liter nakeds on the market. I have to ask though before I commit to another T; is the newer 1100 worth the wait? I'm looking at used ones and they're pretty rare. But I also don't want to pay good money for a good V4 1000 and then one day test ride an 1100 and realize I made the wrong choice. Granted, money will definitely be a factor. Should I go straight for the 1000 and build it up as I get more comfortable with it? Will I even notice a difference during the few track days I do? It looks like all the motorcycle magazines say the 1100 is just more power throughout the range and the T's needed it (although I think the RSV4 does well without the added cc's even though its now a different engine.)
Any input would be greatly appreciated. I'm realizing too that since I left AF1's backyard, I will probably never see another Aprilia again until I ship my next one to me. Thanks
