You should definitely follow in my footsteps and go from FZ6 to Tuono. I bought my '08 Tuono brand new in March and it's probably the best vehicular decision I have ever made. This bike does everything well, has a relaxed maintenance schedule, looks great, sounds great, and can be had relatively cheap these days. Took this pic yesterday after putting the black seat on... Oh and as far as issues. It's not an electrical/charging issue exactly. The connectors Aprilia use are sub-par and they fail there are 1 or 2 effected depending upon the bike. Oh, and the back brakes really need to bled carefully. If you're FZ6 is anything like mine was the back brakes are night and day. I could lock the FZ up no problem. The Tuono? Not so much. But, the big ass Brembos at the front make up for it.
