    Great write up Clive and well done - looks like you have that Tuono set up perfectly. You certainly gave that other naked Italian bike the learn!
    pretentious moi?

    Crack me up Malcolm. They are natural competitors. Next we will have to swap over to see if any of the difference is down to a willingness to suspend mechanical sympathy. There must be another 20kmh somewhere in that monster.

    It was funny when Hels told me that she once sat on the Joey Dunlop bike that was there (as a kid I think). I was wondering if I should have told the guy... you know... just incase it wasn't running right.

    Ha! I sat on it at Wanganui 07. It crapped out after its first run on Sunday!

    Damn you Clive!

    Shit man! Looks like I will have to step up to the plate in September and get another Aprilia model down the road.
    Bloody great write up bro
    I think we need Drum to put the Futura on the 1/4 mile too then we have all of the aprilia family with the same engines down for fast times.
    Damn you Clive! Damn You!
    May the road rise up to meet you.
    May the wind be always at your back.
    May the sun shine warm upon your face.

    I had a scan of the records and there is a 748R with a top speed of 249.46kmh. You might have your work cut out Flame.
