Yup. Need a fun commuter, back road blaster.

This. I'd be all over this like a tramp on chips if I had the funds available

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Aprilia-Tuono-Factory-Li...

Not only is it a black dream Aprilia Tuono Factory (the last of the v-twins, in the right colour), it's the right mileage (under 10k), has EXACTLY the cans I'd put on one (Hex carbon Akra's), and it's the right price too (around £6K) Looks in mint condition, I hope one like this comes up for sale in a year to 18 months from now.



Someone buy it and store it for 18 months then sell it me, please

Just buy a Mille and crash it, it might look better, I like Tuono's but they look like something a dog has thrown up.

Not yet. One day, hopefully soon!

[MrChips]

You'd probably need to grow a massive beard and wear a suit when riding it for the full effect.

[Speed addicted]

Today I'm mostly hankering after this
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2007-57-BMW-R1200RT-R120...

Yup, an ex plod R1200RT in white with small panniers and no back seat. Not sure why.
I'm offshore just now though and it does strange things to the mind. I should be (more) alright once I get back home and take the CB1300 for a blast.

One of these for now:

And one of these for 8 months time:

Really should book my cbt...
I would also like that dudes riding skill

[clen666]

There was one of these parked outside of my workplace yesterday, first time I've seen one in the metal and they look bonkers just standing still.

On my shopping list now....

Yeah the styling is very much a love/hate thing, the but IMO the factory models with ohlins, carbon, forged wheels just look awesome. And you don't see many about, they're a rare bike. They are just an RSVR with no fairing and upright bars, nowt else is changed.

Passed one of these today, first time I've seen one on the road. Looked pretty nice for the 5 seconds I could see it for

[Baryonyx]

Still driving myself nuts dreaming of a Speed Triple, but a good one will show up soon enough, and I'll be ready...

My mate has the same bike with an Akra pipe on, fantastic bit of kit
Good choice IMHO
