Most delectable. Although I can't say I don't find the yellow slightly sickening... and I think the bug, just about r6 style headlights do it any favours. I think the Z1000, or even the gen1 Tuono did a better job of that.
I also found the pillion seat of the first gen Tuono to be very realistic and comfortable, whereas this one seems to have followed the superbike trend of being a pillion dot rather than seat. I think that's a shame because a large part of the streetfighter appeal is that they are versatile and realistic superbikes, where this Tuono is leaning a little bit closer to the superbike end of the spectrum.
Still made me feel all gooey though.
Also A+ Aprilia on making a nice looking stock exhaust, seriously I don't know what goes through the head of some design teams these days. This one actually looks good - not that it would stay on for long though I'm sure.

I personally think it's blardy ugly,..in comparison to the gorgeous RSV4.
Even the V-Twin Tuono is better looking.

It seems it virtually is a RSV4 all barring the front which i'll agree is unfortunately is a face even it's mother couldn't love, shame because it didn't need to be.
Seems like it has the potential to be a stunning bike to ride though... Well they'd (Aprilia) had better hope so anyway.
Stunning official launch vid. on www.aprilia.com with big backing it in smoking scenes, just like Rueben Xaus on the hypermotard launch- but that bike turned out to be a disappointment.
Looks like a great track day bike. 109 miles on a tank (MCN) wont be good for much else.

So Red Baron have been advertising new Tuono V4 on trademe for the last year, when will it actually be available to be purchased? Anyone know NZ release date?
