Conservative rider suitability

SlowTom · Jul 1, 2021

Hi, I'm new here, pleased to meet you all.

There is an 08 tuono for sale and it is very good value and a beautiful looking motorcycle. If I buy it will I die?

Seriously though, I mainly ride tight twisty rural roads, so I need a nimble bike that doesn't mind bumps.

i am a very conservative rider, I rarely exceed the limit, and I wouldn't think of myself as a highly skilled rider though I've been riding 20 years. My last bike was an r1200gs and I didn't really push that too hard.

Am I mad going for a Tuono?

Thanks in advance and safe riding (if that's even possible on a Tuono).

Tuono is serious hardware. I previously had R1100S and there is no comparison between the Beemer and the Aprilia other than very nimble handling.

You do not SNEEZE while riding a liter sized Aprilia. On the gas or on the brakes.

You will have a blast. But be VERY respectful of the "loud handle".

Don't even hesistate. You will have Joy capital J

Hello , The Tuono is awesome. I hadn't ridden a sport bike since 91/92. 85 900 ninja. After a couple or rides it started coming back. 9 months later enjoying some semi spirited riding. Get it I LUV HER. Treat with respect and

Totally get where you are coming from SlowMan!

My last bike was Street Trip R and I am a little pensive about the 2007 Tuono I have committed to. I think a healthy respect is a good place to start with any bike. Then learn it’s quirks and don’t be impatient.

I plan on returning to doing my IAM on the Ape which should be interesting!
