Yeah, it was sitting in a warehouse in Idaho for two years.  I don't think the price is a secret; the bike was $18,000 new and he paid a little less than $11,000.

Figure that's less than a new Japanese literbike--for a bike with the stonkin' presence of the Tuono.  Not to mention Ohlins suspension and steering damper, OZ wheels, and so much carbon fiber that if it wasn't for the weight of the motor the bike would just float away.

I really wanted that one bad.  Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on your perspective) a mint condition low mileage used one of those goes for about $8.500 and they do pop up on cycle trader quite often.  So buying that one new means instantly losing 3 grand.  It's still probably worth it though   Drool

 Lol  Good point, Fred.  

How's things in Portland?  Getting any miles on the Tuono this winter?

Or is one of those rides in the stable the winter hack?

There's been precious little riding lately............sub-freezing just isn't my cup of tea.  I've had to suspend 2-wheeled commuting, as I live on the West Side and have to go up over Skyline Ridge.........ice/snow/freezing fog/ black ice patches are no fun on a bike.   I have been taking some short afternoon rips with the little SuMo if it gets to around 45 degrees - after a few weeks you just start to get crazy.  Somebody here had a sig line (I'm paraphrasing) "If I don't swing a leg over a motorcycle soon, I'm gonna STAB somebody".  Pretty much it.

Course, I don't reckon it's much better in your part of the world.  Sad

C'mon Spring!
