The same seller has a 3 1/2 too. Must be some kind of Morini fanboi.

I went off it a bit after I watched his Cadwell vid , although in fairness it was 10 years ago and it would be a lot better with someone who can drive - his gear changes were making me cringe.

I still think it looks cool and would like it though, but I'd get that gutless (lowdown) Blade engine out and a Busa in .

Maybe even turbo it too :D

If I didn't have a deposit down on the GSXR, I'd probably go have a look at this as it's in my postcode area according to t'bay.

I never knew a Tuono could look as ugly as that one.

It's a pre-Tuono. One of the original 200 converted RSV-R's to gauge if the world was ready for a big naked twin with superbike performance.

I likes it.

Still from the new Marvel Black Widow movie... that looks a lot like a CCM Spitfire to me!

Who'd have thunk a CCM in a Hollywood movie!

I vaguely remember these from back in t'day. Id buy it over a regular Tuono any day of the week, but only cause I'm a perverted weirdo.

I wonder how they compare to a mk1 Tuono.

Are they "threw everything at then downgraded for the punter model" or are they "haven't quite worked out how to do it yet bit shit".

I think they're just RSV-R's with mandle bars and some different paint/fairings.

They just put some cheaper cycle parts on for the full production version.

The special version of the production Tuono was the 'Racing'...
