My point was that a 12 is good for the cash...and that a Z can never be bought as cheaply.

Yup, and that's fair enough. But in this thread, it made little sense. See? Nothing at all wrong with the big bendy Bandit but it's pretty obviously not what Cloggsy's after, he's hopelessly drawn to European exotica that doesn't go

It's the 2006 Aprilia Tuono R

I've ridden a couple of these now.... (not the '06 ones mind...)

Very tall and comfy riding position, lots of vibration and just brute force & ignorance to get you anywhere, but it does go round corners. It felt like an overgrown supermoto to me....

Love the lok, but I wouldn't have one.

Tuonos are a bit mental, like... I have a stretch of road that I have test ridden every bike I take out on and I cornered faster on that than on anything else. Very rough and ready and a complete handful. It left me with arm pump by the time I got back to the dealer who let me have it for 2hrs (silly boy!)

i want a ride on one pleaseeeeeeeeeee

Basically a stripped down Mille with high bars.Therefore why the hell would it simply not be just an effing ace bike to ride?! Ok slightly unusual look to it but hey Cloggsy you went for the KTM? Slipper clutch as well mate if you get a bit carrid away when heading towards the bends!

Italian mate....yummy!

What do you think

This is what happens when two words become one... f***ing & ugly = FUGLY.


That said I don't think the angle of the shot is doing it any real justice - perhaps if the photographer pointed the other way?!



More importantly - what do you think of it?

Aaaah the poor Multistrada.The beauty is obviously in the riding!

I kinda like it...

Yeah, I know, I'm a bit like Peter Henry. Give us a turd with a Ducati sticker on it and we'll worship it...
