2010 Aprilia Tuono 1000 R

We have been waiting for this super low mile 2010 Aprilia Tuono 1000 R to arrive.  It was purchased new in 2010 from a dealer in Ohio and was parked in the garage when it arrived here in the PNW in 2016, at that time miles showing was only 777!   Once here we were given the go ahead to get it up and running again.  First off we installed a fresh set of Dunlop Road Smart III’s, then all the fluids we flushed, including oil and coolant, the techs looked everything over and gave it a clean bill of health. it had just received a new battery before arriving at SUB. We don’t know the full story why the bike was not ridden much but here is a chance to grab a “like new” 2nd generation Aprilia Tuono!   We have both keys, manuals, our service records and a verified clean WA title.

Ever since it first appeared on the motorcycling scene, the Tuono has embodied Aprilia’s genius and amazing technical know-how, accumulated through victory after victory in motorcycle racing. The Tuono has come to mean flair and technology more than any other road-going motorcycle.

The 2nd generation Tuono, the Tuono 1000 R, is based upon the 2004 – 2009 Aprilia RSV1000R superbike. One technical difference between the Tuono 1000 R and the RSV1000R is that the latter has a rear shock with adjustable compression and rebound damping, as well as adjustable preload. The Tuono 1000 R only has adjustable preload and rebound damping. This makes the stock Tuono somewhat less usable as a track bike than the Mille. However, since the parts between the two are interchangeable and abundant this should not hinder anyone wanting to use the Tuono as a track bike from changing the rear shock.  Other differences are purely cosmetic and consist of the lack of a full fairing, a superbike handlebar instead of clip-ons and different paint schemes. Like the first generation Tuono, the Tuono 1000 R also employs a steering damper as standard.

The BRP-Rotax V990 60° V-Twin engine was upgraded significantly when compared to the first generation Tuono: different gear ratios (close ratio with longer first gear), larger throttle bodies, single spark plug, minor cosmetic changes and an increase in power output to 139 HP.  On the Tuono 1000 R, ergonomics is one of the bike’s strong points. The seating position has been carefully designed to give the rider maximum control over the front end. The handlebar risers are lower and the footrests have been moved further back, so that the riding position is sportier and more effective. Despite this, overall comfort has even improved, so that riding is less tiring.

The sleek tail with its integrated direction indicators is similar to that of the RSV but points upwards to enhance the Tuono 1000 R’s dynamic styling.
