Aprilia fail

Post by Boxermed69 »

Talk about defeat snatched from the jaws of victory. This new V4 Tuono 1100 Factory looks the biz on paper and Neeves from MCN gushes about it but.... that paintjob :shock:. What were they thinking? Has the same effect as one of those designs they cover a prototype vehicle with to break up the lines and disguise it. What a bloody mess :?. Aprilia - see me after class...

Could maybe improve it with a set of Givi luggage - including topbox :lol:

I get what you mean. I agree. Certainly based on the photos.

Except the top box. I wouldn't ruin any bikes' handling with a top box. :D

Having read the road test in another mag I must say the colour didn't occur to me , I 'd imagine I'd be having far too much fun to notice ....
