UK Possible sale of 2009 Factory Tuono (Black Dream colour)

I’ve ridden aprilia now for the last eight years and enjoyed every second of it but my biking is moving away from short to mid distance and from solo to two up riding so I’m looking at an adventure tourer. The last four outings on the T added up to 7700 miles, that’s a lot of fuel, tyres and chain lube. :crazy

Anyhow, if I don’t get what I want with a p/x deal this weekend I’ll offer the bike for sale here and other places, if anyone is interested now please pm me and I’ll let you have my mobile number so we can talk about a deal. Thank you.

Details are;

October 2009 Tuono Factory (Black Dream)

10,400 miles

Extras
Evo clutch slave
Pazzo levers
Carbon oil/water tank covers
R&G all round
Vetura Rack (no bag)
Larger Screen (original included)
Larger Seat with grab handles
(original pillion seat and cowl included)
Gold Alloy caps an all reservoirs (originals included)
Home made rad gaurds
Head lamp protectors

Changes
Wheels powder coated red.
Cans swapped for the type with a spout outlet (original were cored and sold)
15/42 gearing (originals 16/40 included)

I would like £7k but I’m a realistic person so would consider any reasonable offer but please do not insult me.. cos I know all ape riders are tight twats :no :lol

Chain and sprockets are good for another 5k miles or more Tyres will need changing shortly. Serviced with mid term oil change. Taxed til march 2012.

Is that it? Think so, anyway you can ask questions if you want to.

Cheers for looking

Cheers, fresh hoops wouldn't be a problem and could be included in the price.

Thank you. It is a stunning bike, looks and performace but over the last year or so my biking has and still is changing direction and the miles I intend to do next year and through winter would be expensive on the T and ruin it's value.

a shame yer changing pal, but i hear where yer coming from, thought the same meself for awhile, but bugger me the sun shines fer an hour and i,m off like scalded cat..

would,nt being a millionare be nice ??


i would say though, if yer chuckin it in at a dealer, may be worth selling a few bits, and chucking it in as standard..

Windy min...if yer set oan a tourer type git yersel a Ape Caponord....still the V twin we awe love......and ye wid be surprised jist how quickly ye kin scoot aboot wi one...and they handle surprisinly well....ahv got one for the twosup stuff and have been well impressed wi it....170 miles til the light oan an a reckon ye could eke oot nearly 200 hunner afore it runs dry oan a long sensible tour run, performace, handlin awe wi comfort...jist dandy...an its still got a bit o that Italian kudos aboot it........

......anyroads...whitever ye dae.... dinnae git a Beemer GS....itll turn ye intae a fanny

Cheers lads. Thought about a capo, had one a few years back as well as the T but things have moved on for me and the economy doesn't allow me to have two bikes. Anyhow, I'm test riding a 8V Stelvio today, been offered a great deal, all I have to do now is ride the guzzi to see if I like the feel. Read everything there is on the bike and on paper it ticks all the boxes, hopefully my experience, nearly 40 years, and youthfull hooliganess will allow me to take a few scalps on the twisties..

I'll report back later once I've ridden the beasty thing..

BTW no bm gs for me... italian if I can find the right ride.

Hey Martin, been a while!

Sad to hear it's going/gone mate but I can understand your reasoning. I've got a very strong desire for a KTM 950/990 SM but want to keep the Tuono as I've modified it a tad and love it, so still trying to figure out how to get one! :rolleyes

:cheers
