Aprilia Tuono 1000 R Advice

[JayA]

Hello folks

Need a bit of advice/help here.

Just been offered a mint 2008 Tuono for about 5k with only 5.2k on the clock. Never ridden a big V-twin like this before so ive blagged a test ride next weekend.

Anyone here own, owned one. What are they like to live with etc..

Any advice appreciated

Don't know anything about them, except my mate has just got one, and said it's really good - especially for touring two up with kit. He is really pleased with it. And though it looks a tall bike, it's not at all.

Get a test ride on one. The Tuono is a hooligan's bike and a lot of fun but some people never settle in comfortably with the big vee-twins.

It;s a fantastic rider's bike, but it might not be your cup of tea once you're in the saddle.
