Ive seen this rather tasty Aprilia Tuono 125cc on a breakers site,

Bike At The Top Of This Link

I rang the broke up and asked about the bike, he said it has no keys, and that i will need to send the ignition barrel off to have a new key cut. There is also NO log book so i need to apply for one, there is small cosmetic damage to the bike, but the price doesnt realy fit the millege, damage and age of the bike :(

I did a HPi check on it today and i know it was a catagory D write off which is minor panel damage and easy to repair.



Please take a look at the pictures of the bike and tell me whether you think its a good idea to buy it ...

I have arranged to go and see it on Friday and will place a deposit if the bike seems ok..

Many Thanks
 
Why are you even looking at it if you think it is priced too high? I certainly wouldn't be paying £1,200 for a bike that is a write off and still needs work on it.

The was a chap on the Aprilia forums selling an 02 Tuono for around £1,300 that had no damage and wasn't a write off.

A Tuono will be hard to sell on, let alone one that has been written off, I would reconsider this in all honesty.

Have you weighed up how much you will have to pay to bring the bike back to a roadworthy condition?

Well, i dont want to buy a 2 Stroke bike thats been thrashed to death..

Can i have a link plz :)
 
Well don't buy a two stoke then, because they will all have been thrashed. You have to thrash them to make them go anywhere.
 
When i say i want one that hasn't been thrashed. I meant a Low Milleage engine, that has ALWAYS been warmed up before riding. ALWAYS Been run with quality 2 T Oil etc..
 
Sorry, forgot to mention i did i HPi check and the bike has never been reported stolen..

Even if this bike isnt knicked, is it worth the money ?

there designed to be ridden hard, as long as its maintained it will go forever, well the odd rebuild here and there but its an easy job once you have done it once.
