Hi I'm a "newbie" from Italy

[silverthunder]

Hi! My name is Francesco and I live in Italy.
My bike is an Aprilia Caponord ETV 1000, I love it, never had a so lovely feeling with a bike, but after 75k km (47k miles) in 5 years I would like something new. I would like to buy a Silver ST1200 ("First Edition"). So here I am. I hope this is a nice community.

welcome Francesco!!! When are you going to purchase?
good luck riding, we don't get them until may 2011!!!

Thanx for your welcome. I've done a Test Rider few months ago and I've found really a good bike. Tomorrow I'll talk with the dealer about my Capo's value... if right i could purchase tomorrow ;D

Hi Francesco. Nice to have you aboard. Could be a good day tomorrow then? Fingers crossed you get the deal you want.

Hey Francesco, welcome! I envy you, you might get a new bike tomorrow and all I have to look forward to is sub-freezing temperatures tonight!

Let us know what tomorrow brings!

Welcome, Francesco. We Americans are eager to hear your ownership experience. That's all we get until May. :'(

Hello and welcome. I envy your ability to get them right now. I hope it works out for you.

whats going on Francesco? The missus and I are planning a trip over to Italy (ironically enough, next May). Hope to get my SuperTen by then.

HELLO FOLKS! Thanx for your kind "welcome"! today i've purchased a "silver" ST "first edition" (here in Europe ST is sold in this version with aluminium side cases with mounting brackets, headlight protector and an aluminium engine skid plater). I'll get my new bike I think next friday. I'm very happy... only a little sadness to leave my beloved Aprilia Caponord, a great bike, a sweet friend of so many rides. I and "her" have rided for about 75k km, never an engine problem, I "don't know" what is oil. And I'm happy to join this forum, very friendly. I'lle let you know any news.

It will be interesting to hear your comparison with the Capo. Enjoy!!
