Well here she finally is: all nice & shiney & new
I picked her up Saturday morning from the Aprilia Centre after a sleepless night. I had to wait 6 weeks due to insurance
!!! Ok, the strong winds & coffee I had at Nero's the evening before also didn't help. Damn!
She is absolutely superb. I am slighly lost for words at the moment. The suspension is very composed, brakes are awsome & the engine, well, where do I begin, it just wants to stomp ahead in an attempt to head butt the horizon, I love it! Managed to put 200 miles on her over the weekend which ain't bad going. Took her down some country roads with Avian Blue & loved every minute of it. Frustrating thing is I have to keep her below 6000 rpm until the 1st 600 miles. I'm still over the moon. Can't wait to get her out again this weekend. God only knows what's in store above 6000 rpm, I've fitted the 16 tooth front sprocket which makes the Tuono even more responsive & willing to surge forwards which equals big smiles
I'd just like to say thank you to Neil, Debbie, Roger, Frank, his Dad, David & Dave (Avian Blue) for riding along with me on Saturday. We went to the Ace Cafe then Box Hill afterwards. What a day!!! I won't ever forget that.
I guess now I'll be leaving SV ownership, well, once I've sold her, I should say thanks for all the good times I've had, you all know who you are! (I'll still be loitering around though
)
No doubt you'll be seeing the Tuono down a country lane somewhere near you, or at Box Hill, or at Soho, or at a track day, or in Europe. Give us a wave if you do!
Don't they look good togehter: LOL
A bit like beauty & the beast.
Wohooooo............
