V4 Tuono APRC

[Dodgy69]

Was reading somewhere recently about fuel tank sizes and why some bike's are so small. MT 09 is 14L. Light about 120 i think, not rode it for ages. 18L would be nice and get a happy 150 til light. I just don't like putting fuel in anything.

If I ride like Taipan I can get 180 miles out of my GSXS 750 tank, if I ride like me, it's more like 140.

Tarquin says he's never out of 2nd and 3rd gear,so 180 miles to a tank would be pretty cool.

I could easily get my R1 into sub 20mpg, if you use the performance you use fuel, especially on an upright bike.

The Hyper guzzles like a council estate on a sunny bank holiday if ridden enthusiastically!

That about 25 kilos. Like a bag of cement between your legs!

I usually get 145-170 out of the GSXS 1000 depending on how I'm riding. That's 17 litres. Usually I get at least 155.

That's an all the time feeling for me

33l in mine, makes filling up smart if you're on fumes

Off to see the bike on Friday.

[Dodgy69]

Have it.

Off to see the bike on Friday.

- I nearly bought the exact same model ( not that actual bike though) last week-end, but just missed out.

I test-rode the 1000 for over an hour when it first came out back in 2011 fully expecting to buy it there and then but came away without it slightly non-plussed at the time and preferring my V2 Tuono I'd arrived on.

Still not sure why that was, as I'd read every test on it, and in theory it was a done deal before I swung a leg over it, but things have changed a bit since then for me and it's an itch I will definitely be scratching properly at some point in the future.



Anyway, fingers crossed- hope this example is a good one and you buy it - If you do I'll have to pop over on the V2 for a gander

Local (to me) dealer has had a 2016 for sale for the last year or so. Looks nice. 12k is a lot for a 7 year old bike,though. Opinion seems to be,the finish on the older bikes is way better than the more recent 1100 model.

That’s a lot of money. The one I’m seeing is a 2013 advertised at 6300. I had my ktm for sale on fb and he messaged me to enquire about a swap as he was looking for an sd.

A big advantage of age is that this will cost me 100 to add to my current multi bike policy.

Done

You don't mess about,man.

Health to enjoy and let's hear what you think of the bike.

[dern]

Will do. Got to wait until tomorrow to insure it though.
