GUS question Tuono

Gus in previous posts you mentioned your Tuono. I have never owned a V twin and I would like to rectify this. There is a 2006 Tuono R for sale with; 30,0007Km, Akrapovic exhaust (not sure if 2 or 1 fitted), 4 months rego a very clean bike asking $9000 ride away from a dealer. I was hoping to take it for a test dide either tomorrow or Tuesday

Questions
Is this a fair price
Are there any common faults with this model
What things should I look out for
What is the difference, if any, between the Tuono and the Tuono R

If possible could I phone you to discuss. If agreeable can you send me a pm with your contact number.

I would appreciate your input.

cheers

No, it looks nothing like a question mark

How about this one then .

What are the tie-downs for , to stop wheelies ?

I think I built a bike lift and they were so it couldn't fall off . Never used it , more trouble than it was worth .

Aussie , more than welcome to come to my place and check out mine .I might even give you a drink . P.M sent

Gus thanks for your speedy reply. I opened your PM but it was empty:cry:  can you resend.

There are now 2 bikes available - 06 dealer & 07 Bikepoint.
cheers

Gus there are 3 bikes - 2 dealer & 1 private. Go to Bikepoint - Aprilia - Tuono - Qld.

cheers

THey are all the model after mine . Good, but maybe not as good as the 03-05 model .You know the story ,the first model is the collectable one .
THe one with akra pipes is the pic as there is no point in having a V-twin without the sound .($1500 bucks there )At a guess that is Tony Armstrong 's dealership which
has a good rep . AS usuall about $1000 over priced but its a dealer .Your test ride around town you may hate it . They like the open road .
Not being able to find neutral for the first 15 mins is normal , forget about a pillion . Should start first press ,no spin back with a clunk .
Nice 04 model for $7000 but near Canberra .
Did you get my Phone number 30,000 kls is just run in .
