I quite like this too, But what is it with the design of headlights on 'modern' naked bikes?
there so damm ugly. a nice round headlight, lose the tank 'wings' and some nice aftermarket pipes to lose the Cat and it'll be one mean machine.

I hate the rear end... But there'll be aftermarket fixes for that within days of the release I reckon. If I was suddenly without a bike, i'd be trying one of those out, and if it lives up to its promise I'd probably be buying one.

My only worry would be that it's an Aprilia.

"Will it start today"

"It will get me home tonight won't it..."

Sorry, but for all it's good points, my Falco, was an unrelaible piece of ****e at times and I was glad to see it go. So why do I fancy another one ?

Hey Jelster, that starting problem is the only reason keeping me back for chopping the GSX in for a old style Tuono. Don't think i could be arsed having to drop the battery out for a charge any time i was leaving it more than a few days. Loved everything about the falco but ended going for a Firestorm but still hanker after a 'prilla!

Shiver, that is a pish name for a cracking looking bike. Under 6k otr and I think they have a winner .... if the power don't get you the torque will!

Forks look unadjustable which is gash...........

Did you see the new colour Tuonos - I am sure the colours will look good in the flesh - glad they kept the best colour though.

I've heard Aprilia doesn't have the best support network. Some french guys are doing a petition to push for better parts delivery service.

Exactly. Though look at the difference between the list price of a Falco and what they were actually selling for.
