finally

Morning all, finally got myself a Gen 2 '07 last year after riding a mates a while back. What a machine! Love it. Currently on a mission to tune the suspension within an inch of its life; Nitron NTR1 arriving next week and hunting forums for fork tuning tips. May the sun always shine...

Well my new Tuono Factory finally arrived after 6 weeks from ordering the beast, but work stops play so it's tucked up in the garage until the weekend makes me want to cry :bawling

Hi all, not had the chance to get on here in a while for several reasons , the most important the birth of my son Charlie ! A wee lump of perfection :-) so I went to the bike last wednesday during unseasonably warm weather in Scotland I had a chance to ride my tuono for he first time , sadly not...

Thanks to all who provided help or ideas.

Its took a while, but its finally back together tested today. Its a bit of a beastie, been totally stripped, replaced anything suspect, new bearings, seals, chain / sprockets, all suspension, brakes re-built etc. Most of the plastic is original, only the bellypan & nose cone needed to be...

I finally got my tuono up and running and thought I'd share some pictures, it's a 2007 with only 5300 miles on it. Runs fantastic, just needed a little cosmetic love before getting her back on the road! I had gotten and amazing deal on it because of the recent salvaged title, but looks amazing...

Just a quick note to let you all know that I have finally finished our Aprilia CRT MotoGP replica kit, its designed to fit the RSV V4 model, once I work out how to post pics I will. Any interest please let me know. Thanks Mark GP Motorsports [email protected]

Been lurking here for a bit, waiting to be an "official" member and as of yesterday, I can now consider myself one of y'all. I've had it less than 24 hours and already compiled a list of mods I wanna do, starting with changing the sprockets so I can go less than 35mph, although who really wants...

Hi Quick post to introduce myself! Finally got round to buying one of these! Wanted one since my first ride at Mallory park test day back in 2004! Aprilia guy said I would have the biggest grin on. My face when I got back into pits! And did! Just bought a mint 54 plate 2004 model ...

Finally decided to sell my Stunning RSV1000R, 2007(57reg) I know it’s time…..after the best summer weather we’ve had in years and I’ve still not managed to find time to ride her! Too stunning to sit in my garage - only done 145 miles since last MOT Mint condition Silver/Red 7,150 miles...

hi guys, after much deliberating, i've finally put down a deposit on an 09 tuono factory, p/exing my brilliant street triple but looking forward to experiencing V twin motorcycling for first time in a whisker off 40 years riding; been looking at the forum, see loads of useful tips and help, will...

Recently bought an Aprilia RSV mille R from a nice chap in Oxford. She is mechanically sound as a pound but the paintwork, stickers etc are in need of attention. He rode it everyday for 5 years too and from work so as he said, she might not be the prettiest girl around but she sure is...

...quotes of £900 odd if I keep the RSVR garaged, or £2200 odd if I want to go to the next cheapest insurer... It's because, when I started [adult] college, early last year, I went back to the job I had as a kid, riding little 50cc neep neep scoot-ays. The job's okay, not too boring, and leaves...

Well here we go, as requested :P Flames are a go go-- new panels and nose already ordered in 04 Factory plain/matt black, with black double bubble. just need a tail unit now.. anyone?? needs a pair of tyres, the little bracket off the tank that secures the front of the seat pad.. and a pair...

Well after a long lay up I have finally Finnished my Mille but for how long nobody knows my list of mods are Uprated battery,solenoid & killaprilla battery cables fireblade side stand Stubby levers Various carbon Tinted screen Dr Rossi EPROM Modded collector Arrow exhaust 57mm throttle...

At last, the suns out, had an early morning spin to the bike show at Wistanstow, back and did the usual polishing and check over http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm78/arriva996/DSC00138.jpg http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm78/arriva996/DSC00137.jpg...

Must be ages since I bought these exhausts, but the simple fitting instructions were a tad false to say the least. In the kit, to add confusion the wrong link pipes were sent, the spring locators were 90 deg out. So the cans had that sad expression from the back. Had to wait 2 weeks while...
