Very nice. Now let's bring the MV Agusta Brutale serie oro here.

You are too funny!! My office mates must think I'm smoking some homegrown I'm laughing so hard.

Re: Aprilia Tuono Reader Feedback
 

Totally awesome. I want one. I have a gorgeous black Beemer R which I love to death, specially after fitting a decent can. But this could tempt me to infidelity.

You might want to read a bit more closely:



"The stealth bomber theme continues with a matte black paint overdose... Kevlar-carbon covers protect the radiator and water overflow tank..."



Nothing about K-Cf covers on the gas tank, which is what I was talking about.



Peace,

O.K. the other reason (the REAL reason!) is the price tag. I really like the stock Falco, demo'd one at Laguna Seca, and I can't afford it -$10,999, much less the extra $1,999 the kit cost.

God D*** ! I LOVE Motorcycles
 

So little money, so many lust object bikes.



Good "old" days my ass, these are the good days.



Anybody else feel like a kid in a candy store, when you look at what's available today?

Thank you, KPaul, for my first look at my next bike!! -not sure if my '98 6R that i've had from new will ever forgive me, especially since I've only just put on an arrow full system etc...

Mind you, rim-mounted brakes would be a bunch cooler than radial brakes, but lets see it in the phlesh, eh?

No Question
 

This is the golden age of motorcycles. There are dozens of bikes that I would love to have. I used be a car nut, lusting after Ferraris and the like, not that I could ever afford one. Now cars have gotten boring. They are too perfect. You are completely insolated from your environment. Motorcycles are where my passion is. The thing I love most is no matter what bike I may lust over, I can have it if I REALLY want it. (Very few exceptions, of course. Like I can't have the H-D VR1000). Don't get me wrong $17 grand seems ridiculous for a 'toy' and I am unable to justify buying that MV Agusta... to my wife.

Honda followed Ducati, though.

Re: No Question
 

If and when the Brutale is available... the Tuono loses it's appeal. She does look sexy though - there's nothing like a skimpy black bikini....fairing, that is.
