Looking for some real world opinions rather than the usual profession road test entertainment.

Nah, but If I sell this Tuono, it’s on the short list along with an older V4 Tuono, Speed triple R & MT-10. So I’d be interested to hear thoughts as well.

I like the styling on this bike too, there’s not many around, certainly up here. Which I also like.

Well,looks like I just bought one.

I came to this forum owning my ten for 13 or 14 years and no notion of changing,now here I am having bought only my 3rd brand new bike in 49 years biking.

Weeksy is a bad influence,y'all need to be careful. :silent:

It'll take a week or so to arrive and I'll duly post pics.

Cheers man,watching my old Da struggle in his latter years (he just busted his pelvis at 92) has focussed my mind a lot these days. Seize the moment and don't hold back on the living. Life is a nanosecond.
