Yes, yes I did... I got to Miller on Tuesday and got home LATE last night. I had a fantastic week....

I'm not an inline 4 kind of gal - but, this bike. holy chit THIS bike. I was really impressed. And, not with just the look and feel - with the motor, the technology, the whole package and offering.

As impressive as the bike may be technically, I think that's the coolest part of this thread. *jealous*

I'm on the Tuono V4 waiting list.

The RS125 is a blast but it sucks on the street. You can't afford to lug the engine much below 8,000RPM. It changes the direction by Jedi mind trick instead of any conscious efforts. The fork springs are way too light for my fat ass, as is the rear shock.

No images of the Tuono V4 but several Aprilia representatives have said that they will offer a Tuono. Aprilia would be stupid not to make a Tuono V4. Their RSVR were outsold by Tuono almost 2-1.

S1000r - Officially added to the list if they keep it under 15K OTD.

I did a track day at Summit Point yesterday and one of the riders there had already put in his order for one, but I didn't ask him the price. They gave him a clear business card with an image of the S1000RR on it that he can "hold out in front of him and see what it will look like in his garage/driveway when it arrives".

I have one of those It's cheezy and funny and ridiculous. But, totally fun.

I'm telling you... if I were in the market for a sportbike, THIS would be it.
