Should I?

Sell the 1050S3 and buy a Tuono??

Getting bored with the Speed triple and have a hankering for a vee twin naked. Seeing as I could never afford a streetfighter I think I need to get a Tuono........
This is a picture taken a year ago when I thought of selling. That tells me I should go for it.

Can't do the bending over anymore. Ridden RSV's and not suited to me.

Nice. Have you thought of a reason not to?

(I think I'd prefer your Speed but hey, you've wanted a change for a while now.)

Considered the KYM SuperDuke?

**SPP** · 24th February 2011, 08:40

Ooooo Superduke

**avgas** · 24th February 2011, 09:22

No.

You will be bored for power.

What do you think your ST is worth? Its got a bit of fruit on it...

I found the Aprilia's power a little disappointing, especially the way it delivers it (not really like a v-twin at all).

**frogfeaturesFZR** · 24th February 2011, 20:25

Mine pulls like a schoolboy !
PC3 and pipes will help

**trailblazer** · 24th February 2011, 23:05

Just do it. YOu no that you want to.

**blackdog** · 25th February 2011, 00:14

sod the eyetyes, GO the brits!

bird in the hand and all that

on a serious note, i thought the triple was the much better ride of the two

**Batcerb** · 25th February 2011, 17:09

stick with the S3.

If you bored, maybe look at fitting a turbo ...

Not sure. Its well looked after and comes with original pipes etc. About $11k I suppose.

Bit too pricey and apparently not real comfortable

Its not the power aspect that bores me. In fact not really bored ...its hard to explain. Maybe I don't want to be a snob on a triumph anymore

Hey Lanci...You have been trying to sell yours for a while now. What were you thinking of getting as a replacement?

**Corse1** · 24th March 2011, 19:42

Well its a done deal. Triumph was picked up yesterday

and ridden home to Dargaville by new owner...pick up the 03 Tuono RSV1000 racing tomorrow. All the CF race fairings, reverse shifter, race pipe with chip, race bolt kit, tail piece, and all associated other bits still in bubble wrap so will have to change that

Only 4 came into the country and probably 100 left on the road world wide

Yahooooo cant wait until tomorrow......................
