Hi Everyone.
Just lucked onto the forum this morning. Seems a good place to spend some time.
Our local Suzuki shop is probably one of the best m/c shops around. They sell Aprilia, Moto Guzzi, Those 3 wheeled rotax engine things and some jet skis. They also have a great cafe, where my Wife and I often stop in for a coffee and piece of cake.
We always have a geez at the bikes and more often than not spend a few bucks in the accessories dept.
I like nakeds and have owned a z1000, superduke and a ktm smt. I've motarded a couple of dr 650's as well.
So I've had an interest in the Dorsoduro. A couple of things put me off. One is the weight and the other, that skinny seat.
I'd read a little about the new tuono and the reviewers were raving.
Three weeks ago, we stopped in for a cup of coffee after a trip to the hardware. There was a yellow tuono out the front. I chatted to the Manager about how good it looked yada yada and out of the blue offered to buy it. What??? Where did that come from?
I've got a bit of history buying on impulse. The last dr was bought the same way.
The manager informed me the bike was a press bike and they were only servicing it, so not for sale.
"Have you seen the black one inside"? When I did, I think I dribbled on my shirt and pee'd my self simultaineously.
The deal was done.
We rushed home, loaded the ktm and dr into the van, grabbed some cash to make up the difference and in an hour or two, had my first Aprilia in
the garage.:thumbup
I've only ridden it twice. Haven't touched anything on it yet accept the bars. I changed them after the first ride.
I can't believe how good this thing is. I guessed it would be better than the ktm. Handling wise. Not comfort wise. But it's really leaps and bounds ahead. I really love the smt and would have kept it if I could have afforded to.. It's even better then the dr.:lol
Can't wait to get in a decent ride. Damn, I love this bike.:thumbup
