make it a 1200 with 120+HP I'll get one! Alex

It is a nice looking rig. Water cooling is a big plus for HP. I have to say I like the single sided swing arm of the HM and the fact that it is air cooled....back to simplicity even though the HP sufferes for it.
Besides if I was to have an Aprilla I would have to take it to the John Deere shop for work! The John Deere dealer here has the Aprilla dealership.

Very Hypermotard-ish but I'm liking it much better in black than I did when it was in concept form when it was white and orange. Someone in the design department must have come to their senses and stopped with the sickening color combos. Bravo Aprilia. Now they can get to work on reliability.

Yes the color is better but still looks a little to organic for my taste. I'll stick with the Hyper.....

I got a buddy that has a Tuono and he is one of the most aggressive riders I have ridden with. He rides the hell out of that bike, but maintains it well. He has never had a problem. I don't know a lot of Aprilia owners, but everyone I have talked to seems to like their bike and nobody complained.
Out!
