Elvin,

Can hanger would be included in the price too. Checking the instructions it is part of the Arrow setup. I didn't think it was, apologies.

I took a V4 APRC Tuono out for a test ride today, and here are my thoughts:


It's f*cking awesome! :thumbup

The indicator switch is ***** :thumbdown

The gearbox is sweet :thumbup

The clutch lever kind of 'grabbed' on downshifts :thumbdown

The quickshifter is brilliant :thumbup

The exhaust note is addictive, a real growl from about 7000 RPM :thumbup

The seat is too hard, and you slip forward on it too :thumbdown

The engine is, well it's just absolutely incredible, soooo powerful :thumbup

The gear position indicator is a welcome addition :thumbup

The wheelie control is, erm, neccessary! :thumbup

All the other electronic trickery will take some getting used to :eek

Done a few miles on mine now...
Above is almost spot on, although I 'like' the self cancelling indicator :thumbup
And it's a novelty having a decent back brake for the first time in 6 years (2 apes) :thumbup
