Looking for your help guys!! I've noticed that alot of you find alot of stuff on tinternet! and am asking for your help in finding a 2nd bike for everyday and pillion use (the mrs). Ideally looking for a Futura/Falco/early Tuono (as couldn't afford a newer one!) Any suggestions would be much appreciated...:thumbup
 
Ideally sprocker a straight swap!! Credit crunch an all that!! maybe a few quid on top but that is literally a few quid!!....:thumbup
 
That would be perfect buddy but probably out of reach at the moment:bawling!! Thanks for your help and depending how much i get for the Beemer i'll make a call and try haggle:thumbup! Thanks again mate and if you happen to see anymore keep me posted...:cheers
 
I've always quite fancied the Falco personally and I possibly would've got one instead of my RSV if they still made one (wanted a new new bike.) I even called up Aprilia UK to see if they planned to make a successor or something similar but alas not. The Falco is such an underated bike, miles better than a Honda Firestorm in my opinion with more go, better looks, equipment and bags more character, and not so extreme as the RSV or Tuono in terms of comfort and riding position so good for a spot of touring too.

Speaking of which, the Tuono's high bars make it more comfy than the RSV and better at touring I would guess (has anyone ever "toured" on an RSV?) but I still very much doubt that I personally would go two-up touring on Tuono. However I don't own one and never have so I couldn't really say how good a tourer it is with any authority. It could undoutedly do it but how well I'm not sure.

The Futura is the obvious option and I actually think it's very nice although not my thing to be honest but it is no doubt the Aprilia touring king...which brings me back to the Falco. I tend to think I would go for the Falco as it's got a bit more of a sporty edge to it than the Futura for when the Mrs isn't on the back if you fancy a bit of devilment through the twisties but it's relatively practical too and it turn it's hand to a bit of touring too I reckon.
 
Thanks for all your help guys but i've managed to pick up a mint Speed Triple so the search is over.....Thanks again.
