Aprilia Tuono 1000 Racing 07-08 Anyone got one?

[Cajun]

it isn't to bad on fuel if ya surf the torque curve,
once ya start reving it more drinks the juice, fuel light normal comes on around 190, seen it as low as 170 but also not seen it come on until 220

and when fill up when fuel light on, normally only takes 13-14litres

Hmm.. How many k's did you do down south? What do you estimate your fuel bill at?

i did figure out the rsvr fuel mileage while ago can't seam to find it at moment but we did about 4500kms fuel bill for the 600 worked out to be $500, rsvr was around similar figure.

Sweeeeeeet.... The other problem.. I think my fuel budget may change between the proposed vfr and the now tuono....

Don't worry about that - I think you've made a good choice.
Much as I love my VFR, this will be loads more fun, and more smiles per mile.

That was exactly my thinking... As lovley as the VFR'S are they just didn't do it for me.... When I walked into Strada and saw the Tuono I was like Hmmmm... Spent 20 min walking round it.. And it hit me.. I fell in love! Only problem is it is going to take 12 months to save up for it as I want to pay cash and can't access a term deposit that I have... It'l make it worth waiting for tho...

Mate has an 03 Factory Tuono & is an excellent model to buy as is the 03RSVR . I like the 03 motors better than the 04 onwards they don't feel as good down low & seem abit peaky up top & have a different slipper clutch setup . To each their own tho . Spent to much on my 03 RSVR to sell it now

Back away from tomb stone.....

Am just on the AF1 site pricing up a few extra's... mmmmm bloody easy to spend money on that site!!!! I think freight may be a killer tho...

Mates of mine are getting stuff off them quite frequently, bloody good service from these guys. Used to frequent their forum regularly too, a good source of information.
