Try an Aprillia Tuono or Falco.

Sat on a Falco at a dealers the other day, was put off by the broken side stand, had to use my hand to get the stand out!

You don't just want to sit on a Falco!
Go out and test ride it and you'll love it. It's a louder, faster and comfier Italian take on V-twin sport touring compared to the SV. Just as reliable, and the finish is better.

As for the sidestand, that's normal on a Falco. The rest at very odd angle and they have a tendency to fall over if not parked on a perfectly flat surface :roll:

Mmm you'd never want to get one if you live on a hill!

Looks much more sporty than the 1100S, but then again much more £s which I just can't afford.

I take it you had fun! Bit too extreme for little old me though...

over 100 in first...and got to be clutchless gear changes...too scarey to let go. Same accelaration from 100+ as from a standstill....WAY TOO FAST
