I don't know if anyone has seen this but though I would share.

...................I want that windscreen. Why can't USA dealers get them?

WOW! Nice work!

Never seen one! There's been a lot of talk about whether or not they were going to make one or not. It's not on their website!!!

Where did you see that?

You tell your dealer to tell Aprilia that you want all that stuff on your new Tuono & then wait about 6-12 mths & you'll have one.Or you could order the go fast bits from Aprilia through your dealer & wait 4-6 mths & then put them on your bike that you already have.:WTF: ;) ;)

That pic is probably from the press release days of the Tuono in Europe. I seem to remember other similar photos going around when they just release to press.

I believe the board came to the conclusion they had them on there as options...nothing available as stock.

Since the Tuono is on the RSV chassis, the Ohlins forks are probably available as a definite upgrade...

Le mondial des deux roues a Paris.
I've been there and posted already some pictures on this forum.

Obviously these forks are compatible with the tuono chassis. That's not the question but more so what do you have to do for the swap and where can we get it. I'm assuming you have to change upper and lower triple clamps and possibly the axle might be different. This is definitely an upgrade for my future.

Please Please if you have more pictures of tuono's with performance bit please SHARE...

Of course you can go for the Ohlins internals for your existing forks. I've heard the difference between the upgrade and replacing with the full Ohlins unit is very hard to pick.

All you have to do is swap the fork legs and the lower T-Clamp, everything else is compatible.
About $3,000 labor included.

That Mille factory looks a bit different as well. At least the color combo.
I'd like to see a better pic of that.

Well, that would be a bargain!

Just got the complete price list for all the goodies for my upcoming new Tuono. The Öhlins fork is there, priced at $2.550 plus tax, in Europe. Now, the description says "Öhlins fork L", and "Öhlins fork R". And the price mentioned above is for each of them. So I asked the distributor if this was per leg, which they confirmed. The totalt price for the fork is in other words in excess of $5K, plus tax and labour. Nothing else than the legs are needed to do the conversion.

The list also includes Mag OZ wheels, in red(!). Price for both is about $4K.

I think I'll try to sell my RSVR Factory with certain '06 Tuono bits mounted. :)
