V4 Tuono

[Fatjim]

The black ones go the bestest

They certainly are, but I was tempted for a yellow for a while.

I get mine this week, Yeah Baby!

Oh and in terms of MD's comments on how cramped it is. Its wierd how I find it roomy at 6'4", and MD (at about 5'9"??) finds it cramped. Must be down to leg and arm length making making the angles different. The V4 seems only a little smaller than the V2 Tuono, and I had no issues when I rode it.

Seat was quite hard, but then the suspension didn't have much bump absorbtion, so the compuslary revalve should elleviate most of that issue

I'd be keen to know what kind of fuel range you guys are getting. Would they get you around East Cape without traumas?

Went out for a ride yesterday and we took both our X plane R1 and the new Tuono.
Ummmmm....this thing is effin ridiculous fun in the tight stuff!!
The quick shifter makes a superb exit from every corner and I managed to utilise every part of the APRC's.

I love the R1, but just not as much as I dig this V4 Tuono

Quickshifters are all good eh I love mine (Luckily works down to 3000 rpm or I wouldn't get to use it )

LOL...true that Grant!
Acquisition of a quickshifter for the R1 has had its beginnings
Where did you get yours?

It's worth mentioning that the quick-shifter kitted V4 sounds simply orgasmic as it passes by (all at legal speeds, of course). Could this bike possibly be the most fun you can have with your pants on?

I am running a powercommander 5 version, but if you just want the quickshifter the translogic one seems to be the go. Some company sells them down the line there about $600 and don't require a power commander or something similiar to make them work.

Great to hear you are enjoying the new toy. They look fantastic in yellow/black. You lucky man have some of the best bike roads on your door step!

Just curious, living in Wananka where do you have to go for servicing, tyres etc and where is your 'local' Aprilia dealer?
