Got my new (to me) Tuono yesterday and haven't stopped smiling. Its a 2006 one and is stunning. Fantastic condition, however the clutch seems to be slipping a bit so I'll be off to my nearest dealer during the week to get it sorted and everything else is spot on and I want to be able to enjoy it to the max. I love the looks, power and handling - a great bike. Anotehr benefit is getting home and having no aches and pains from being hunched over all day.

Well chuffed! Another keeper!

Here's a couple of pics

Plus my other bikes:
BMW R1200s.

Honda CBR954RR2 Fireblade

...and finally the wife's Daytona

No idea - sorry. I'll see if there's a logo embossed on it. It works though - well impressed, been out all day with a quick group of sportsbikes and never felt stretched.

Finally gave the new addition to the family a proper bath and rub down, and took some decent pics. As you can see she's absolutely gorgeous and perfect. Well chuffed, a very proud father indeed.

She's a 2006 Aprilia Tuono. 3400 miles, with Leo Vince Evo2 Titanium pipes.

Hi stoney, I'm convinced I saw a speck of dust on one of the tyres!!!!!! Or was it a mirage, I think I must have been blinded by the reflection.

Thats what it came with. I went to take it off and changed my mind as I think it looks pretty tidy and its a decent quality one as the screws go into the rear plate and not loads of tiny little nuts on the back like the Oxford ones.

it also came with blue anodised dust caps....they came straight off :crazy

Holy Crap.. Can you come over and detail my lil Andiamo?? I ride to much to detail everything including the chain... Welcome to the fold boyo. She's a peach and I love the look on the kids faces when they get pipped by an old man riding an upright bike... *evil grin*

I think its just because I used an infill flash. They are a matt finish.

I used to own an RR2 good bikes also. Your T looks really good how you likin it? How do you compare it power wise with the RR2, my T i find very rough at slow speeds this was never and issue with the blade.

Sure the Blade is smooth, my choice bike for wet days, even over the BMW. The Blade feels much faster and handles better then the T but the T is ssoooo comfy and so much fun - suspension is better too - especially having had it set up properly. My T is ok at speeds over 20mph with the sprocket changes, improved suspension, map 2, akra cans etc.
