Just realised my new bike belonged to Sparkz -

Impatiently waiting to see & ride the stunning beast....

Mine same as yours but Red with Micron exhaust and no commander I put small insert in exhaust to quieten slightly and it runs fine on standard Ignition
Just between you and me the new Tuono is Styling only and infact the Dyno charts Ive seen show them to be down a couple of horses on our version , allso I prefer the extra wind protection of Older model,
At the moment Im loving my Tuono its an animal , you may want a change now but Id have a good ride on the Triple before changing as It wont be as sharp as Tuono and motor is quite different, Tuono will sit at legal speeds ok Triples dont seem to have cruising sweet spot and are hard to keep speed down on if liscence is an issue

Yeah been thinking about trading the Speed triple in for the Tuono. Like the vee twin...and yes the speed triple does not have a nice cruise speed. I guess you would have to add a smaller rear sprocket to achieve that. its a great bike and handles so well but the Tuono really appeals.

And i could get a decent Tuono to replace the triple with no money outlay as the triples seem to retain their price.

Have replaced my First Tuono (got written off at Hampton Downs) with another one.
New one has full Apoviche Titanium system, chipped and lower gearing, which makes it better on the track (and the perhaps the road also) bike is violently wheelie prone in first and second though which is very tempting for the road

Am surposed to be selling it (wife pulled the pin on the track day stuff) but dont know if I can bear to part with it though
