A new bike was not on my radar, however a 2012 Tuono V4 APRC came up for sale on a local forum at a price that was hard to ignore (try as I did). I've always wanted one, so I spoke to the seller who suggested I have a look. Then I did part with money. Oops.
I'm unsure how I feel. I'm worried it'll be far too much for the road and it's probably not going to be cheap to look after. It was a bit of a 'do now, think later' type scenario, which is out of character.
Anyway. I get it tomorrow. A couple of pics from the previous owner;

Thanks, all . The modifications list is absolutely outrageous. The previous owner and one of his friends (local Aprilia specialist mechanic) have done all of the modifications and servicing between them. It's somewhat reassuring to know there's a mechanic in the local area who knows Aprilias, and this particular bike, very well. My wallet is quivering...
Yolo, and perhaps only for a short time on board a Tuono!
If anyone is interested and wants for some reading, I'll copy the spec sheet in ____________________ CG125, CBF250, DRZ400-SM, Z750, Street Triple R, Tuono V4R |

Thanks, man! I'm fair chuffed. The previous owner advised not to throw petrol on the fire until I've a few miles under my belt, rather poke it with a long stick from far away . I'm a bit scared. ____________________ CG125, CBF250, DRZ400-SM, Z750, Street Triple R, Tuono V4R |
