Touno Racing for 2004?

[BikerBrit]

I understand the Tuono Racing was a limited edition in 2003 with the race kit, carbon bits, Ti exhaust, chip etc. Since the first 75 are most likely sold I was wondering what plans were being made to bring this version back for 2004. Anyone?

From what I read, the Tuono racing is going to be a some-what regular model. (Obviously based upon customer interest).

Dont think they'll (aprilia) will redesign the tuono quite yet, however they may 'upgrade' the motor/chasis to the 04 style.

Looking at the pictures on the Aprilia site, it appears the new racing model has a black frame, as opposed to the gold frame on the other models?

btw, when is the 04 "racing" due ?

the new racing eta is around april sometime, it is supposed to be the same sort of deal, but only 50 are coming in :eek:

we shall see when they get here :D

Has the MSRP been released? I checked the factory site which has pics and info, but didn't see a price?

Spoke to an Aprilia USA rep at the Chicago IMS yesterday - he did not think there would be much immediate change to the Tuono Racing, except that it would be offered w/o the Race Kit to lower the MSRP. He thought when that KTM got introduced, Aprilia might be motivated to build a Tuono off the '04 Mille platform...

:confused:
