Good man, awesome bike. Like an Alfa, everyone should own an Aprilia at some point in their motorbiking life.

Funny how you say that, my mate has an Alfa 159 and a RSV4... haha

No as I never took it to a circuit.

Cheers for that ic3, will check it out.

I'm actually going to miss my sv, it's a cracking bike!

Keep it as a track bike? If you bin it you won't cry, unlike you would with your Triumph.

Ok, ok

Here she is, my new 2009 Aprilia Tuono Factory 'Black Dream'

A great looking bike!

Traded my old VFR800 commuter in for something a little different. It's going to take some getting used to, but the motor's a peach.

Lovely! a 990 SMT was on my possible list for a while, should be great fun!

Thanks all, it's a bloody gorgeous bike, it's so nice to have people turn and look when riding down the road, or bikers at Loomies stopping to have a good look

I'll have to go to my flyby spot to get get some video as it's loud, but not obnoxiously loud - at least with my earplugs in, on the bike anyway!! I did notice plenty of people moving over when filtering back on the A3 today.

Ahah, I noticed this when I debaffled! I suddenly seemed to be given more room.

Great looking bike! I'd be going out every weekend to enjoy the warm dry roads on it whilst they last.

Picked up my accidental, alcohol fuelled, impulse eBay bargain last week. 2002 Honda Blackbird, 40k miles, full history, tonnes of receipts and MOTs, carbon hugger and tail tidy, adjustable levers, R&G crash bobbins and bar risers. Runs lovely, body work is in a decent condition but would benefit from a polish and it goes like stink!

£1.5k!

 

[tom_e]

That is a serious amount of bike for the money!

Cheers mate. It really is a nice bike to ride. Such a step up from the Fazer.

 

[Yaayuh!]

170mph for £1500 excellent!

 

[MowyTone]

That's a great buy - probably the best non-race bike Honda have ever made, and actually lives up to the honda quality tag, unlike the modern ones. I've had two of them and would definitely consider another.

Here's a better picture of my new toy. It's so quick compared to my other bike lol

 

[IC3]

What bike is it?

 

[TallPaul_S]

Early speed triple? Speed four?

 

[One]

Earlier than that!

It's a 1997 Triumph Speed Triple T509

 

[IC3]

That bike is same age, as me.

It really is something else. Has such a great presence on the road and a nice note with the standard cans.
