    Yeah, I know.

    As soon as I sat on it I was sold.

    My 821 Hyper was one of the funnest bikes I've ever owned. Two hour round trip commute and I had a smile on my face the entire time. Currently in the process of moving, but once we get settled I will pick another one up for a commuter again.

    I have owned both and they are completely different animals but they will both land you in jail. That's why I love them. I have owned both and come back to the aprilia for a second time. You can't go wrong with either of them as i have put over 30K miles on each of them with no issues.

    All the good Tuono deals went away just as I start negotiating. Factory program expired June 30 and no replacement yet.

    State 8 or AF1 make good deals on bike...'18 Tuono RR at AF1 for $13k.....That's what i paid for my '16, before the upgrades in '17+....TFT dash, auto blipper, cruise control.

    BTW, FWIW....i bought a 5 yr extended warranty for $900...Comes out to $15 mo. So i have 7 rs of warranty. I've never bought an extended warranty on anything, EVER. But for $15 mo, it's a little bit of peace of mind. The Italian bike have been subject to some problems of course.

    p.s. Tuono = Thunder in Italian. In case anybody wondered where 'Tuono' comes from.

    So went to the local Duc dealer today, they just got in a 13, 821 SP. 89xx miles $7900. It is on consignment. Has a Project SC slip on and the owner has the exhaust completely wrapped. Yearly maintenance just down. If they still have it next week after I get back from FL, will go over and demo it. I did not realize they sat as high as they do.

    I'm fortunate enough to own both. A '16 Tuono Factory and a '16 Hypermotard 939 SP. Both make me very, very happy - and are quite different from one another.

    I've had the Tuono for about three years. It's been flawless. I often describe it as a V4 superbike with all-day comfort. I've done a bunch of trips of 250-300 miles in a day on it, and other than the wind blast, it's super comfortable. Have had it on the track as well. The sound, the power, the gearbox - stunning. My all-time favorite bike I've ever owned.

    Found a deal on the Hyper locally on Craigslist a few months ago. It's such a sick little bike. Makes me do really bad things, like most any supermoto. The weird thing is that it's actually a big, powerful, naked bike - not a supermoto. But it still feels like one as soon as you get on it. However, unlike supermoto bikes, it's comfortable and has decent tank range. I had one of the air-cooled 1100's years ago, and sold it to buy a Multistrada, because as much as I liked it, it had crappy range and wasn't really good for touring. The new one is no rocket ship, it's actually fairly docile, but at lower speeds in tight corners, I can't imagine anything better. And super easy to wheelie.

    If I just wanted a bike for around-town hooliganism and occasional day trips on tight, twisty stuff - Hyper all day.

    For higher-speed fun and do-it-all capability in a sexy V4 package - absolutely the Tuono.

    Both absolutely incredible machines that remind me why I love motorcycles so much.

    The sound of the V4 on the Tuono is impressive - even with the stock exhaust. Can't wait to get a Yosh on it.
