New bike FINALLY, sorry Ducati, well not really

[eviltwin]

Sweet ride, congrats!!!  The rotax is dead reliable and I love the styling.  I even told myself that if I ever wanted a standard big twin, that would be the bike. 

Is the frame really brown/tan?

thanks guys
the good thing for me is there are more Aprilia dealers near me than ducati.  And the importer lives a few houses away   

The frame is more gold, but my camera sucks lol  Spent all my money on the bike

Good choice I must say. The Tuono feels bigger, and is much more comfortable than my S4. It's my favorite bike ever.

Here is my Tuono:






Don't knock the Blue wheels... here is my 04 Factory:

More colors the merrier like I always say. I'd like to see one in person and ride one to know what I'm missing. For now I'll love my Birds. Cool ride zc911, too bad Ducati left such a bad taste in your mouth. I can't imagine Salesmen not wanting to sell a bike unless they were in the process of writing up an order but still you don't ignore someone on the sales floor . You at least acknowledge them and let them know that someone will be with them and find someone to at least talk with them until a salesman can help them.

thanks , and Very Very nice bikes.  I love the older Tuono's tail lights.  And yes they feel much bigger than the monster, i need to park next too one to see how much bigger.
Love the RSV1000 as well, i sat on one but for a street bike, the upright riding postion is the way to go 
The blue wheels are defitnaly growing on me   I think i will leave them alone.

thanks .  you know what if i sat on the Tuono first, i would not have had all these hassles becuase i really do like it more than the monster.  I am 6ft 205lbs, and the monster felt really small under me.  This one does not.  Acutally feels more size appropriate haha.

yup plain ignored.  One dude was behind the counter, flipping through a mag, and at least 3 other guys where in one office laughing and chatting it up.
If i wanted one of their bikes i would have bothered them.  But i was pretty much sold on the Tuono at that point
