Hi Ransom, welcome :) a number of us do trip out to Burnham on occassion :)

Did you happen to be there today? We noticed a tuono during our trip there this afternoon :)

[Ransom]

I do see LOTS of bikes riding through Tiptree.
I've had the Tuono for about 4 months, best bike i've ever ridden!

I was out on it today funny enough, had a little blast to Colchester, saw loads of bikes out.

Unfortunately they are nowhere near 20bhp, the most you ever seem to get out of a race type system is around 8-10 with all the setting up that goes with the power commander.

The bike you have is the earlier engine and tends to top out at around 125-128bhp at the wheel with a system on ;)

Welcome to EB fella, Very nice Tuono :D:D:D:D

Hi & Welcome to EB :jumping2 :laugh2 :jumping2

Do it Dave... you know you want to.
I tell you what, if you want the system, give me a deposit and i'll keep um until you can come up with the rest of the cash?

What do you say?

[Lateshift]

oooh i can just see the dremel coming out for the fairings here !! :D :D :D

[Dal]

That's a great lookin' bike! They do look so much better with the Brembo wheels ;)

I nearly bought one of those, but being a short ar5e I couldn't touch the ground properly and luckily the new shape RSV is that little bit lower. Nice to see another Aprilia on the sight though. We still have a way to go before we have anywhere near the numbers of the Gixers though. But then who wants a common bike. :laugh1

Looks for shelter incoming.....

[rembrandt]

sent you a PM M8 have got a pic of the pipes maybe I could come round and have a look at some point

[rembrandt]

Mick do these need a modifyed side stand or something or is the pipe kinked to fit ?

[Lateshift]

In most cases you need to cut the left hand side of the fairing, its a small job, nothing too difficult :)

[milleuks]

Dave If they`re brand new mate then I think they come with a stencil for the fairing mods nothing that cant be done with a dremel:grin2 .........Dave

[Ransom]

I do have the stencil actually

[FACESLIDER]

Welcome mate, Nice bike. You do know that silver ones are faster don't you:grin2

[Ransom]

Nah, Italian bikes should be red

[FACESLIDER]

Nah, Italian bikes should be red
Thats right, thats why i got a silver one:grin2 :grin2
Have you done anything to it at all,like any power mods or had the suspention set up or anything. Just wondering as I haven't touched mine yet, cant afford it and i'm very happy with how it is now. Although I think the suspention may need to be fiddled with a bit as it wobbles when going fast round long bends,:grin2 :grin2

[Ransom]

Yeah done the deristriction mods and had it serviced and suspension set-up at Southern Cross. Feels like a different bike!

[Lateshift]

another satsified Southern Cross customer :) :) :D

[Ransom]

They fookin rule, really nice guys too

[Lateshift]

Couldnt agree more, there are a few of us on here that follow Don in the New Era Sound of Thunder so we know them really well :)
