I'm not laughing. Same reason Ohvale's at the track are such a blast...

2021 Yamaha MT 09 SP vs 2021 Aprilia Tuono 660 vs ?
- Thread starter Katatonic
- Start date
Would love to get a grom but the prices are always out of line and I’m not looking to buy new right now. This is also why I haven’t picked up a dirtbike yet.

Send me a pm. The worst I would say is no thank you but thank you. I’m always looking for a good (great) deal
. I’d prefer the dirtbike first but I keep my options open.Sent from my iPhone using GTAMotorcycle.com mobile app
Just an update to this thread:
I ended up going a different route. I bought another 2017 Aprilia Tuono that is already done up as a track bike and my current Tuono will return to being a street-only bike.
Both Tuono’s are relatively the same - 2017’s, race tune, Hindle exhaust and forged wheels (picking those up this weekend - rain tires will go on the cast wheels).
(Shameless plug: My Versys is currently up for sale if someone is looking for a well set up sport touring bike. Kijiji price is $6,200 but if someone here wants it for $1k less than that we can chat.)
Here’s the new track ride!

price difference and joint pain?
My neck and shoulder can’t handle a supersport riding position. The stock risers and MX bars will be going on this one before I ride it on track.
Also, the deal was way too good to pass on!
I was in Calabogie for a week for a couple of track days and vacation with the Mrs and this bike came up for sale in Montreal. Ended up meeting the seller in Ottawa and had to get 3 bikes home! The Mrs towed the 2 Tuono’s home with the truck and I rode the Versys home.
I’m already anticipating this issue and I’ve got a couple of backup plans bouncing around to deal with that. We’ll see how bad it is. If I can get away with cutting out a little clearance area with a dremel tool, that would be best case scenario.
We’ll see.
And yes, the Tuono is amazing on track!
You use the exact same tie down loops and ratchet straps as I do
If the Ape doesn't work out, I've always found the GSXR to be kind on the back and shoulders for the track.
I think it’s time to replace mine. This happened on the way home. So glad I use more straps than needed….
looks like you got your use out of them though.I think it’s time to replace mine. This happened on the way home. So glad I use more straps than needed….
what straps are these? are they retractable?
Do you recommend them? I did a quick search before on retractable straps and saw some mixed reviews on reliability
Ya, I think I’ve had them about 6-7 years…?
They’re retractable so there’s no loose strap flapping around. I like using them, but my main complaint is you have to stop and re-tighten them after the first 10 minutes of driving because they always pull a bit loose.
thanks. will look to grab a set. my rear underseat always has a few ratchet straps strewn about because I didnt have time to wrap them up nicely after use.
