Awesome deal. Surprised the listing is still up.

Bike has a few fishy things about it and owner is unwilling to barter on those issues.

what kinda things?

[Monstermash]

what kinda things?

It needs a rear tire and there is oil all over the top of the engine. Valve cover gasket? Or????

[TomBrady]

I checked it out, the rear tire has 500-600 miles left on it, and as Monstermash pointed out there's a fine oil spray (with a bunch of muck) all over the engine. Valve cover gasket? Not sure.

Bill, the seller, is a really really nice guy - I just couldn't justify $3900 + tire + mystery $ for the oil issue + dragging it out to denver when I can get a Futura out there for the mid 4's or a VFR

Cheers,
Adam

As a 07 Tuono owner I will say this, spare parts ARE stupidly expensive and finding a great Aprilia dealer is hard. I found one in worchester, mass (http://www.wagnermotorsport.com/) but they are one in a million as far as I've seen.

However, this is by far the BEST bike I have ever owned.

Seacoast Sport Cycle in Derry, NH is another great option for those not local to Wagners. Both are great shops!
