Description:

Time to sell my Tuono as it just does not get used enough.

I bought it from Benhams in Wolverhampton in September 2013, and since then have done around 2000 miles on it - no track days - pure road driving only. Its in great condition, but with a couple of imperfections - see below:

The facts:
13400 miles - but may go up a bit if the sun continues to shine (it does not go out in the rain - neither do I if I can help it)
MoT till June 2018 - no advisories. All the old MoTs supplied, and can be mileage checked online.
Tyres, brake pads, chains and sprockets - all good.
Starts and stops - no issues. Runs without any malfunctions or unwanted noises.
Screen is an aftermarket MRA - a bit higher than standard - a great improvement for rider buffeting.
Aftermarket clutch and brake levers - provides added adjustment.
Front crash bobbins and rear-stand pegs added.
Side mirrors changed to aftermarket - I can now see past my elbows.
Side-stand from a Fireblade fitted - much better than the standard one.
Datatool alarm fitted - with alarm fob supplied.
Sprag clutch repair has taken place, and Eprom chip & tune fitted - both done by Aprilia Performance in Tamworth. The uprated chip improves starting and smoother running. A 0.4mm modified jet has also been added to the hydraulic clutch to assist smoother operation.
Service History - 6/8/04 - 641 miles, 26/2/07 - 3780 miles, 2/03/09 - 5656 miles, 20/4/11 - 9890 miles. Oil and filter servicing was then done by myself (twice) with the last one being an oil, filter and coolant change in June this year.
Original owners manual, V5, service manual, and all the old MoTs are present.

The two not-so-good bits:
The metal mesh insert on one of the side panels has a hole in it (see the picture). This is purely cosmetic, and does not affect the bikes performance.
The rear seat cover has a slightly fraying edge on one side.

Its been the best motorbike I have ever owned, with the handling, brakes and acceleration being the most memorable bits. Its a fun bike to ride, with bags of grunt if you need to use it.

Happy to answer any questions. No daft offers please. Happy for viewings by arrangement. Collection only, and cash payment on collection.
