You've made a good choice! The latter gen Tuono is really nice. Slightly better ergo's but I do recommend the gel seat which is great for longer rides or tours

I rode brands with John (lamb chops) and was speaking with him about doing something more road biased in 2024 as a feature - maybe will see something next year

It really is personal choice but having done 60k + now on my last 3 Tuono and ridden the crap out of them I can honestly say despite some niggly issues they are damn good bikes

Glad you enjoyed the uploads.

Thanks for the advice there Birky.

On the subject of advice, the one I`m looking to buy has the Akra exhaust and associated Aprilia map on it, I believe.
I have read that the Aprilia map can be a bit laggy, low down, to get round emissions, and has a few dips in it - have you found this to be the case at all, or any knowledge on it ?

It`s not a major problem, as I`m not too far away from Andy at Junction33 Developments, who is a wizard on tuning, so I`ll nip up and see him if it is the case...

They are better over 3k and moving at more than town/traffic speeds. I've never found an issue but it could be improved and if you have someone who can put a custom map and improve I would definitely say yes. The race map does run on the rich side
