![]() ![]() Guys thinking of defecting and buying a 2003 Aprillia Tuono. Much as I love my GSXR front ended K3 Sv650s I am very tempted to make the swap as there is a mint one in my local dealer. Worst thought of buying a new type of bike, is never finding another forum full of helpful and knowledgable folk like you! There may be a whole host of goodies in the 'for sale' soon, unless my sensible head takes over! Loved the test ride on the Aprilla, what you view on the Aprilla guys?? |

I dont think you are going to get many people talking ill of the Tuono on this site.
Mainly because it seems to be a decent bike, with tons of power, and savage looks. I have heard rumblings about Aprillia electrics, specifically the Mille. Its meant to be fairly refined, despite all the power, and it has really good stopping power. I mean. Yeah. They are nice. And they are properly hooliganised right out of the box. I would imagine the likes of BigApe would spend most of the time riding around on the back wheel with a massive cheesey grin on their face. Every time I look at the Tuono... I start to get that butterfly feeling, to the extent that I feel a bit sick. They look like bad bad bikes. |

My only concern as I'm not a big naked bike man is the practical concern of having a small nose fairing rather than a larger SVs one and the resulting windblast, etc on longer runs

dunno what the wind blast is like. Best bet to find out what going from an SV to a Tuono is like is to PM Gmonsta. Wind blast didn't seem to affect him on the way back from the AR06.

I don't like 'em. I mean, they're great, but I can't get past the face. I'm sure they have a lovely personality

A Mille would be a great choice but am not after a fully faired bike, and a Falco would be a better comprimise with the half fairing for me and looks almost as good........... but I still love the Tuono, if only I can convince myself its practical enough! ![]() |

The Tuono looks like its just spent the last while put away at Her Majesty's Leisure for aggravated assault, during which time it spent lifting wieghts, and getting into fights. |
