Default Anyone got a Tuono

Looking at px'ing the SV against a new Tuono, subject to a test ride. One thing a test isn't likely to cover though is riding with a pillion. Has anyone got a Tuono and taken a pillion? My main concern is pillion comfort; if the SV can cope 2-up, I'm sure a Tuono could!

I havnt got one so i cant help BUT if you are wanting an aprilia i recomend having a look at the falco. Its VERY similar to the SV in seating position and comfort. They are also DIRT cheap!

New is OK but be careful secondhand or you can spend more time trying to keep it on the road than it will be on the road. Spares long time coming and expensive
Think long and hard plus have a good read on the Aprilia SITE
