2007 Aprilia Tuono -- Fort Worth, TX

[heinzrx]

Figured I'd start here before resorting to CraigsList...

I'm selling a low-mileage 2007 Aprilia Tuono with a few tasteful upgrades. I'm asking $5500.

GENERAL INFO:
-- mileage = 12,xxx
-- I'm the 2nd owner -- bought it in San Antonio with 3,200 on the odometer
-- garage kept
-- Michelin Pilot Road 2's with under 1000 miles on them
-- bike has never been down
-- clear blue (non-salvage) Texas title

UPGRADES:
-- Leo Vince slip-ons
-- Ohlins rear shock
-- Pazzo levers
-- -1 front sprocket
-- +1 rear sprocket
-- adjustable footpegs
-- battery tender pigtail

VERY RECENTLY: (last 100 miles)
-- changed oil & filter
-- replaced coolant
-- replaced cluth fluid
-- replaced brake fluid (front only)
-- replaced spark plugs
-- blasted air filter with compressed air

ISSUES (all minor):
-- small ding on left swingarm -- previous owner "trailering" incident
-- small scuff on left radiator trim -- previous owner "trailering" incident
-- slip-ons slightly dinged from a vehicle that "tapped" the back of bike
-- guages suffer from "slight" fogging issue that is very common to Tuonos

Test rides are allowed under specific conditions. PM for details.

One of my riding buddies just picked up a Tuono similar to this, and absolutely loves it. I am getting used to seeing the tail end of this shrinking in the distance when we go riding.

Someone is going to get a great deal! Good luck with the sale!

Awesome bike! Wish I were in the market as that is one bike that has been on my short list.

WOW that's a nice bike for $5500.00.

Ohhhh my gaaawwwwd. Such a beauty. I wish I were in the market right now. Good luck with your sale even though I wish I was the one buying this.

Thanks for the compliments.

It's been an awesome bike but 90% of my riding is commuting and this thing is a bit of overkill. That's why I picked up the 919. It's a bit more practical and I can still get my kicks.

Ahhhh...a sensible one you are.

That's a gorgeous bike. Someone's going to get a killer deal man... if I had the cash I would fly down to Texas and ride that baby back up here to Minnesota. Good luck with the sale, I'm sure it'll be quick.

A bit too sensible probably. Comes from being an engineer at Lockheed for over twenty years.

Really, my skills and riding habits don't do the Tuono justice. I can go just as quick in the urban environment on the 919 and get better mileage and range. I will miss the V-twin music though.

Here's a pic of the Tuono along with the recently acquired 919 and my wife's FZ6... notice I put Aprilia mirrors on the 919.
