Well I guess I am going to sell my Tuono also...I want a dual sport.
2007 Aprilia Tuono
These great V-Twin engines are made by Rotax and maintenance is much less than any other Italian Manufacture such as Ducati. Several articles compare Apilia to Honda for their maintenance and reliability. This bike has Leo Vince pipes that produce an awesome v-twin roar. Because it is a “naked” motorcycle, insurance is much less than the RSV Mille or any other full fairing sport bike such as the Honda RC51. Also has rg-racing frame sliders and front and rear protectors.

I've got the gloss silver/grey/black version with the Gen III Leo Vince slip-ons, Map 2, and 15 tooth countershaft sprocket. It's just a great bike that stands out from the sea of HD's and Japanese bikes. Good luck with the sale.

Hell yeah rc8. i'm gonna wait a couple years and then pick one up.

very nice bike. i have always loved the Tunon. unfortunately times are a bit lean and i can barely buy the basics right now (gas and beer). good luck with the sale!

Death Cattle

ill absolutely be getting one. but recently i found out i wouldnt be able to get one when they released them in the u.s. this year because they're supposed to be about 20 grand. haha. ill just have to wait a little longer. that, and you have to give companies time to get part suppliers.

Beautiful bike. Good luck with your sale.

Man, that is one fine machine...
Why you gonna part with it?

Great question Mike...I have had a BMW, Superhawk, VFR and now the Tuono all this year. Now I want a dual sport so I can play in the dirt??? Maybe something like a XR650L or a little crazier like the KTM 450 exc-r?
Anyway I think I want to go dirt for a while...then I will want to go back to street?

Price drop...$8000
Thanks,

Careful there. When I started riding dirt, I finally saw how much fun you can really have on two wheels! Mind you, I've only been riding dirt since this year, but between the two, I'll take the trails over the street any day. As Yoda said, "Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny."

Gorgeous Tuono, I'm sure it will sell easy. (And yes, if I could, I would)

david.k1200

thanks vfr79. I really want to sell the Tuono...because my buddies are going riding all the time.
So...price drop $7800.00

If there wasn't a great big puddle of water separating us I consider that an absolute steel at that price... They are close to twice that here in Sweden...

Unfortunately with the economy situation, I think people are buying essentials only.

I'd be willing to bet there are a few folks out there that would consider a sexy Italian machine a necessity.
