I have been checking out the new Aprilia Tuono V4. Putting out 167 BHP and it looks bloody awesome. I want to take one out for a test. Anyone know where the nearest dealer to Frome can be located. Would welcome any comments or thoughts on the bike. Has anyone seen it in the flesh yet? Not sure if it's on sale in the UK yet.

A mate of mine was looing at them and he called into GW to ask if he could arrange a test ride. The two they had there are sold so we called a few dealers. Apparantly they are only meant to be released on the 22nd May. Not to sure how GW has sold their two already.

Anyway we couldnt find any to test ride so he opted for the 2010 one with 700 miles on for ALOT less money ;)

Socialism is about bringing everyone up Mitch. ;D The latest sexy two wheeled machines should be available to all. 8-)

Anyway Mitch can't afford one, but gotta test it. At my age I need summit to fuel my wet dreams. ;)

They can sell them as pre orders for release - I'd double check as sure Stuart was riding a demo one

Does look good though and will have to have a go soon

We were at the unveiling in Milan last year. Very nice bit of kit, but I prefer the last of the V-twin ones to look at. The V-4 should be properly mental to ride though, I definitely want a go on one.

Apparently the newer Aprilias are all having a few teething troubles though, so if you're buying you'd be better to stick to the Rotax engine models for now.
