I won't get a chance to work on it for at least two weeks, just get the title transferred over. Parts seem to be tough to find on ebay, though. Haven't found a rightside fairing yet that isn't trashed, and good luck finding anything in red. Slim Pickens fucked around with this message at 00:39 on Feb 5, 2016 |

Part of it might also be that there was a pretty big update in 2014 to address some issues people had with the bike. I think it was 2014. But the newer ones have a more comfy seat, a bigger gas tank, and some other updates, as well as I think updates to the APRC software and hardware. If I were shopping for a V4 Tuono, I'd try to stick to the 14s and above, but they're obv going to be pricier.

I read a ton of articles about it today - seems it runs hot, has electrical issues, and is not great at low (or even high) speeds. Maybe this '07 1000 would be a better buy and a lot cheaper? http://www.cycletrader.com/dealers/Xtreme-Powersports-2904054/listing/2007-Aprilia-Tuono-1000-R-116432251 also completely different but this husky TE610 looks dope as gently caress, good deal? http://newyork.craigslist.org/stn/mcy/5428276313.html I'm going absolutely crazy not having a bike, I really need to just pull the trigger on something asap.

That is very different than the other bikes you're considering so you should figure out what you're looking for before deciding what to buy. Suuuuuuuuper Duuuuuke

Voltage posted:I read a ton of articles about it today - seems it runs hot, has electrical issues, and is not great at low (or even high) speeds. That 07 looks nice - I don't know if it matters to you (it didn't to me) but the 07.5+ has a few more HP due to a change in valve size. You can tell the difference by checking to see if the front calipers have two or four pads. Two pads are the 07.5+. Italians tend to go by VIN ranges for revisions, rather than model years. Things to pay attention to on the Tuono v2: 1. They run like poo poo with straight through exhausts and the default 'map 1' 2. The radiator clamps suck poo poo and should ALL be replaced 3. The brown connector from the reg to the stator likes to melt 4. The early stators were too powerful and like to kill rectifiers 5. The heat degrades the clutch/rear brake fluid super fast 6. Small vacuum hoses like to get brittle and break, bike runs rich and is boggy 7. Stock Sachs rear shock sucks, RSV shock is cheap and an upgrade. Used Ohlins shocks can be gotten <$500. Overall they are drat reliable bikes, comfortable, turn in very quickly because they are the same setup as the RSV with just a different top triple + dirtbike bars, and absolute wheelie machines. Smooth or forgiving isn't something I'd call them if you have them set up the way they were meant to be (-1/+2 sprockets, exhaust, airbox restrictor removed, map 2 loaded). Used parts are cheap, especially once you realize all of the RSV stuff (along with some other models) bolts right on. I picked up a set of nice Leo Vince cans for $250 on eBay. There is like no market so prices are super low. Basically, I love these things. BlackMK4 fucked around with this message at 06:49 on Feb 11, 2016 |

Voltage posted:also completely different but this husky TE610 looks dope as gently caress, good deal? There is a husky strada in the forum sale thread that's might be a decent fly/drive n ride for you. It's on the latest page, I think, and in your price range. That would be more rideable than the 610, and way doper as gently caress. Check and see if he still has it! EDIT: Here you go. He even has the enduro type fender for it.

Shadowlz posted:$2500. Sup NOVA buddy? That's an awesome bike. Buy it. Also, I'm really conflicted about this ad... https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/mcy/5448186319.html IMO it's totally overpriced. Yeah, it's got no miles on it, but honestly that's not a good thing. That means it's not really been ridden much over the last 13 years, and that's not a good thing for motorcycles. Pretty awesome opportunity to own a basically brand new bike if it's real though. Edit: for about a grand less, you could have a 15k mi 600RR https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/mcy/5443955323.html Or a grand more, and you get a 2012 https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/mcy/5442777529.html GnarlyCharlie4u fucked around with this message at 04:43 on Feb 15, 2016 |

Coydog posted:WHOA I expected them to maybe not have launch control or whatever, but they are really so barebones? So just absolute performance monsters with no safety net. Bear in mind that the Rotax-engined twins and the in-house-engined V4s are completely and totally different bikes in almost every detail, and their launches are separated by over a decade, despite the similarity of the names (and the 2-3 year overlap between their sales runs. The twins topped out at about 130ish hp, although the Factory models were up towards 150 in the last few years - the 4s *started* at that point and are now in the 200 hp bracket. The twins are basically the ultimate evolution of the 90s bike - all hairy-chested machismo and fat tail units, while the V4s are very much New Tens with their pointiness and clever electronics.

Okay, someone talk me out of this: £7.5k, chatting to the dealer has suggested they're getting pretty desperate to get it off the forecourt so I can probably drop that quite a bit. Does sound like it's sat for quite a while before they bought it.

Hmph. Well someone's managed to talk me out of it: For reference that's more than I was quoted for a loving brand new Tuono V4, and triple what a brand-new Monster 821 would cost to insure. In fact it's more than the difference in price between the new Monster and this second-hand bike. e: Just noticed the £2000 excess (deductible for you filthy foreigners) on the MCE quote. gently caress you MCE.

I mean, obviously the streetfighter is in a different category but what category is there that includes it but excludes the 821 and is more expensive than a liter bike. If I had an explanation for it I'd be getting a Nobel Prize. In the UK insurance is banded in groups from 1-20 - motorbikes generally only go up to group 17. The Tuono and Streetfighter are both in group 16 so it sort of makes sense the price would be around the same, but why the 848 would be in that group with a bike that costs about 25% more and makes about 50% more power is less understandable. Group 17 bikes (RSV4, S1000RR, etc) cost around the same too. The most inexplicable one though is the GSX-S1000. In the summer before I got the Monster it was ridiculously cheap to insure - half what the Monster was, despite being the same group (15). Now it's literally 10x the price it was, making it the most expensive bike I was able to get a quote on. Now I know the Suzuki is replacing the Bandit in the affections of the nutter crowd but surely they can't have wheelied enough of them into bus stops to distort the rates that badly in six months.

Well bear in mind a big chunk of my premium is the theft coverage, because I live in the middle of London and don't have a garage. Dropping down to third-party only drops the quote for that Streetfighter down to £700 with no excess. Still high but not quite as eye-watering, but of course there's no way I'm riding around on something that can be nicked for the price of a pair of boltcutters and a couple of big blokes without theft coverage.

Did he really advertise that as a perfect "Bar Hopper"? I'm hoping that comma actually means a seperation of things, but I've heard way too many bikes described as great for bar hopping lately, and groups of riders having bar hop rides. And I can't think of a reason to go bar hopping and not drink, and I can't imagine riding anything buzzed on anything.

I don't ride if I've had anything to drink in the last 12 hours either. Riding drunk is kind of on the same level as "hmm, I think I'll loosen up my front axle before I head out" in my opinion. However, the accident rate for motorcyclists wearing helmets who haven't been drinking is way below the national average for all motorcyclists. So someone needs to bring that number back in line...

I'm trying to imagine what interacting with this guy would be like. It's like a weird motorcycle-themed version of a Dr. Bronner's bottle. I see an old guy who yelltalks at you, much like his typing. He's got lots of opinions that you're going to listen to, half of which are summed up by "THEY DON'T MAKE 'EM LIKE THEY 'USED TO'." He'll tell you about ethanol in gas as a segue into the govmint in general, rag on Obamacare, and tell you about how he's on disability.
