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

Kin 'ell. Was the front designed by teenagers on speed?

That headlight belongs in a Terminator film

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.

Yeah I quite like that insect/terminator aspect.

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

Yes but only at Portimao race track, thought it was great fun. Seemed short geared and had a load of midrange and ace handling., very enjoyable bike

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.

Health to ride!

Sometimes a change is what you need!

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.
