So, when are you picking up the new one? ;)

If you do the prep work yourself, you should be able to get the paint shot much, much cheaper.

just based off those figures, I'm going to say its not worth the money for you to buy it. now, if you had all the extra stuff just SITTING there in your garage, shop, wherever you work on bikes, sure, itd be a decent deal.

Here's what I thought of the Aprilia. Last year Aprilia had their semi come to Denver with a bunch of demo rides. I did a half-hour ride on both the Tuono Factory and Mille Factory. I was severely disappointed. In the city, the Tuono stumbled leaving every traffic light. Maybe the bike wasn't prepped for the altitude, but it's fuel injected. Even on the highway, the riding position sucked and the mirrors were useless on both bikes.

After I had read how Cycle World had gushed over the Tuono, I expected a lot. And I thought the Tuono would be comfortable compared to the Mille. It wasn't. I rode down there on my 79 GS1000, expecting the Aprilias to be light-years better than my old bike. The brakes certainly were. And on a race track they would crush my bike. But I ride streets and back roads, and I was glad to ride my bike home.
