Then what does the R have over the standard one?

verdomde · Apr 14, 2015

Heh, i was going to ask this one too, but looked up some of it instead, seems it is basically just adjustable steering damper and more customisation of rear shock on the R - I think that is all?

Well fook me!....I'd want alot more than that if it was an R!

If ever I change it will have to be a factory then

Which R are we talking here,...the 2002 limited edition,...or the standard R from 2004 onwards?
History lesson for ya,..........
Tuono Model History.(European models.)

A complicated history, well put together- thanks. Mine is A 2005, documents say it's a Fighter, so didn't think it was an R... will have to check when I get home.

Yeah cheers for that Keith

Mines a 2004 Fighter in the Nero Darkness colour scheme that wasn't listed lol. It did get a few carbon bits chucked on extra too with it though

Same bike I reckon then Ric, mine is supposedly a 2004 model nero darkness fighter, its on an 05 plate though.

Its there alright,...under 2005.(2004 and 2005 bikes were the same.)
Originally came with red wheels.

Your right mate, took the beast to Aprilia performance in Tamworth for a service and met Griff and the boys. Griff cast a keen eye over it and said it wasn't actually a Nero Darkness...Even though it said on the service manual it was?
He said it was just a fighter but was intrigued how it had ended up with quite a few carbon bits on it the same as his Factory one.

On closer inspection, you could see the wheels were originally red, I do wish they had been left that colour but hey ho lol.

The good news was they sold the 90Â° Valves, so I thought bugger it...let's get them chucked on now too
