Tuono #35

steveknowles · Mar 10, 2009

Here are some photos of my Tuono. It's one of the original 200 (no. 35). Carbon fibre and Kevlar bodywork, Ohlins front and rear, Oz wheels and Kevlar seats.

Wow that bike looks very cool. Subzero with attitude to match. I bet the seats are super comfy as they must be pretty grippy.

Seats are good, except in the wet when they don't dry out as quickly as vinyl. Having said that it came with vinyl as well and I've never bothered to change over.

Tell me how much you love this bike. I am buying #199 tomorrow! Have you ever even met anyone else with a limited? How much is your bike worth. I am getting mine for 7k. Deal or no deal? I didn't sleep well last night and I probably won't sleep at all tonight.

Aprilia supplied them as standard on this model.

Have to say I've never met anyone else with a ltd, or many people who know what it is, many assume it's a special that I built and ask like crashtd where I got various bits. 7k seems about right, even my local Aprilia dealer struggled to come up with a price for mine second hand (I've owned mine from new when it cost just under 12k), but reckoned 6-7k was about right. Did you get the race pipe and vinyl seat set with it ?. It's a fantastic bike and definitly stands out from the crowd. Have fun when you pick yours up.

Just realised that you are in the US, So if you're talking Dollars that's a bargain as I was talking Pounds (UK)

OK I just got it home an 8 hour round trip, but well worth it. I did get it for 7K US. It has a Sargent seat on it and the carbon fiber rear cover where the pax seat would be. Dual Carbon fiber Akrapovic exhaust so not buddy pegs just carbon fiber hangers. Has the upgraded computer to go along with the new pipes. I started it up at home and it set off my wifes car alarm. My neighbors are gonna be thrilled. I stopped by my local bike parts store and they ended up locking the front door so everone could come out and stare at her. This might take a while to get used to.

I wonder who got #1.............

steveknowles · Apr 25, 2009

Prob the designer or someone else at the factory

Moggi · Apr 25, 2009

Thought as much! :thumbup

Here's my "Racing" before someone took out the cans a couple of weeks back, 2 days after getting it custom mapped! :bawling

Nice bike, sorry to hear about the pipes! They look better than the standard dustbin job

Moggi · Apr 25, 2009

Damn-right they do!! :thumbup

Hoping the guilty party's insurance will fork out for a replacement :rolleyes

Does the oil pan come with any kind of cover on the limited? Mine is just polished. I am off for my first weekend ride tomorrow, I havn't been this excited about a ride since I was a kid.
