'07 APRILIA TUONO 1000R - $6300 (Annapolis)

6K for a Tuono R seems like a good deal, but then KBB says $6040 for excellent condition purchasing from dealer.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

You're right that keeping it on the road might take some coin, but for those who have the time and money to live the multi-bike life (not me :-[) $4000 is quite reasonable to add a unique show pony to the fleet.

Sweet bike! Time for some 90's racing nostalgia...  [thumbsup]
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

He has had it for sale for over 2 years now.  it is seized.

I replied to it in May 2011.  i went to look at it that week.  i tried turning it, it was frozen.  there was an excessive amount of oil on the horizontal exhaust port.  i offered him $500 and he told me he would pass.

I don't recall it previously having a barnett clutch on it before and why would he put new belts on it if it is seized?...just asking...

It's the exact same ad, same photo, same guy.

He put "new" belts on it when it was still on the bike 2-3 years ago, and then took the motor off after.  I don't know if it is seized from grenading or from just surface rust or something but it was clearly not in perfect shape inside.

so basically you were offering to buy it for what the heads were worth for the most part, being that it should have "V" stamped heads on it...

more or less, but that's about the going rate for one of these older version SS motors when you can't inspect the inside..  and there's oil coming out the exhaust...

the older SS engines had the funky oil lines...

my gut feeling tells me the horizontal head has a bad valve.
