    Sweet ride mate! I'm hoping to snag a 2nd hand Tuono for a reasonable price next year myself! I would be good if you could elaborate on the riding experience...

    Neat bike Thunder. Looking forward to seeing it out on a couple of rides.
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    LOL.... k14 dident really say much about his pillion ride on the old airhead 2 valve pushrod donk, what he tell you? was a rather quick ride considering.
    BTW: that wee runt looks skinny as but weighs in at a bit, hence the sharft drive mono's (just for those that reckon sharfties cant do it)

    Anyone want to buy TL Riders new ZX10??? Huh?? Comeon someone, I gotta get my Tuono somehow, I'll sell it at a good price, promise, but cant guarantee TL Rider wont track it down, buyers risk here....but but it's tempting.
    Oh well, I'll settle for my new SV in June and wait a little longer for my dream bike.

    Perfection is not something you should ever attain, but something to always strive for. For if we actually achieve our idea of perfection, is it then any longer perfect?

    I'll laborate.

    It looks wicked. It sounds f**in wicked. It handles like a snail with a superglue trail. Feels seriously light, flickable and balanced. It goes alright. Not K4ish but seriously quick anyway. Shifting is slick too.

    Took a bit of getting used to launchin it from standstill. It needs a few rpm or it just dies. Also, after the SV, the short hook to the gear shift took a bit of getting used to, the foot is on a real angle getting under it... '

    Fun Fun Fun Fun Fun!
