The gold frame should make me puke but on this bike I can forgive it no sweat!
Aprilia's, they have their niggles but I fukin' love 'em!!!

2008 Tuono Factory R

Nah it just does not sit right the gold frame and the blue wheels with the red body work....they are a beast but that colour scheme is just tooooo busy.

I agree, but I always wanted one of those Tuono's despite the colour scheme. It stands the test of time - as in it's still as ugly now as it was in 2008 :-), but like the 999 with the two stacked lights, I like it now.

Well wear Blade1, lovely machine.

looks like three separate bikes and I want every one of them...

Just back from another blast and all I can say is fùck me I'm in Love!!
It could look like a lump of shīte and I'd be still head over heals about it!

Not sure where Greenhills is but if it's not in Co.Cork it wasn't me.

Was just going to say that, lovely bike, but the blue wheels look wrong. But if it was mine I probably couldn't be arsed changing them to black

I won't give full names but the side on white haired dude in the black top looks like Con. Probably on the honda or something like a matchless.

I don't know him but I recognise his face alright.
I'd know the lad facing him.

blade1 · 11-06-2017 11:30am

Put this up for sale yesterday and sold this morning
Good bit of interest in it and first lad that called was delighted with it.

stewygriffin · 11-06-2017 12:51pm

@Blade....

I like that Tuono.
There was 1 in those exact same colours on a recent trackday in Mondello.
Drew alot of attention and looked and sounded very well out on track.

It would make a great track bike even it being naked.
It corners better than my Mille.
On the bends it feels like you are sitting in it rather than on top of it like the Mille if you know what I mean.
Would you consider one yourself for Mondello?
I'd love a rip around there on mine!

You could sell sand to the Arabs,so you could.

Im after a Mille or a good 600 track bike package with spares.

Does the Mille have to be an R?
Why did I ask that,of course it does.

The quicker u get one the better.
It's only going to get harder and more expensive to get one the longer you leave it!
Did I see one on Donedeal fairly recently?

You did see one on DD,I was out for a ride with the owner of it.Needs a few things done to it IMO.
Nice bike,but looking for one with lower milage too.

Nice, I was nearly tempted by the yellow and black one on Donedeal but it was too far away and I was caught timewise so I didn't bother.
I will be checking them out again sometime down the line.
