I had a Tuono (08) for two years,loved it,but needed constant maintenance/upgrades to keep tiptop.
never actually let me down tho.
very fast,easily kept up with muppets on faster sports bike,handled very well,confidence inspiring in rain.
sold it because i wanted a more traditional bike(vtr) and it freed up a load of cash,as the vtr was about a third of what I got for the Aprillia.
if money grew on the tree in my garden,I'd buy another tomorrow !
Suggest me a new bike

Kwak sx1000 are pretty good, apart from 4000 miles service intervals.
missing the noise, not the vibes. However never say never!

In my case, I would also add the GSX-S1000 and R1200RS
