The good folks at John Sample Automotive, who lovingly insert Aprilias and Moto Guzzis into this beaut country, have advised us that they have created and are making available a new Special Edition Tuono. Just in case you were concerned that the stock V4 beast was not already special enough.<\/p>\n

\"Tuono
\nHere’s the go…<\/p>\n

The same \u00d6hlins suspension that was fitted to the RSV4 Factory in 2012, front and rear, is now on this Special Edition. The assembly of the components is being supervised by former factory technician, Marco Bellamonte. So it’s not just some apprentice nailing stuff on with a hammer.<\/p>\n

But there’s more to it than just suspenders.<\/p>\n

\"08

Yes, there will be a bike over the top of it. And wheels.<\/p><\/div>\n

The bike also comes with an adjustable \u00d6hlins steering damper and carbon fibre for the front guard, rear hugger, tank cover and underseat panels. There’s also an RSV4 tail fairing and seat (and the standard seat comes with it), some unique graphics and a special edition plate. This represents a retail value of more than $6000.<\/p>\n

\"Tuono

She can get a taxi to where you’re going.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Tuono

Everyone knows what the gold means.<\/p><\/div>\n

There are two colours – matte white and matte black and that is an elegant sufficiency for men of any age.<\/p>\n

The recommended retail price for this exotica is $26,990, but after including on-road costs, you can wheelstand it away from your dealer for a mere $28,990.<\/p>\n
