    With Tuono stolen....do I buy another Tuono or ....?

    It is more than two weeks since my bike was stolen...I am hoping against hope that it is found..!

    However, I am thinking about next season and would welcome your valuable suggestions if I should buy another Tuono or something else..

    Regarding myself, I enjoy riding & loved the way Tuono was/is ...My wife also loves to ride with me however that puts pressure on my wrist which was dislocated in one accident...

    Thanks in advance!

    Take the money and save up for the V4 Tuono.

    That's what I'm doing right now.
    03 BMW Rockster, 07 (USA) Aprilia Tuono R, 07 KTM 990 Adventure, 2006 SR50 Factory Ditech, 2009 RS125.

    Cogito ergo vroom - I think therefore I ride.

    After 2 weeks I'd guess it's long gone. RIP.
    But, it's a buyers market, get a new one!
    My Tuono suits me to a "T".

    Would you really want it back after what it's probably been through after 2 weeks??

    Small doubt it's been violated beyond what you care to imagine, so screw it -- go get a new puppy.

    Cure for your wrist problem ---

    Buy a Ducati ST4s(did I say that out loud?) ,crash it, fix it & give it to HER to ride.

    Then go buy a TUONO !!!
    Take the passenger stuff off & say "sorry babe thats the only way they come" It works cause I did it.




    Every time I ride this bike I hear laughter in my helmet!!

    Depends on the finances.I'd try to find a low mileage Gen 1 Tuono Factory if it were me.Lots of bike for the money.

    there are some crazy great deals on leftover 2008 Tuonos out there....for the money its hard to beat.

    since they didnt show the V4 Tuono in Milan, that bike will be a long ways off from the USA.

    BY month-end insurance claim should be processed...

    I would have loved to try Corsaro 1200 Veloce from Moto Morini but in US we can not get that..

    But otherwise, I cannot think of buying anything else but Aprilia....not sure which one at this point of time...
