I agree, it's an awesome piece of kit. Problem is if your not Dani Pedrosa tiny you'd look silly on it I reckon....

Finn's new bike? come in pink?

[Kwakajack]

Tuono version is on the cards, rsvr pretty much stoped, they will lose last of engines ni the tuono and 2011 rsvr tuono be out

And given the predicted US price of $60 k is aimed to scare a few, 2011 is long enough away to put a savings plan in place is it not? Mmmmmm v4 Tuono Factory . . . .

i think that price is a little over the top.

the pricing is meant to come in simlar pricing as the current rsvr. so expect somethign 30-35k(with exchange rate in the crapper) not 1 single rsvr has gone out the door to a customer as of yet, they have until end of year to have made 1000 bikes for wsbk rules.

Very lovely bike, but at a predicted US$60,000 for the "Factory", I'm quite sure I can't afford one!

Roumor from a reputable source is that it will be NZ$43k for the Factory!! Wonder if they do a straight swap for my rsvr-factory.....NOT!!!!!

baeutful motorcycle. i want to get when i license. look motogp!

No?

I want to ride it first! It will all depend on just how much it turns me on or whether it makes more sense to keep the RSVR and get a second bike that's a completely different style.

The garish light blue ohlins labels always look crap and they need blacking over. Ohlins are too big for their boots and need to pull their heads in. The calf-scours coloured brembo calipers with their clashing cheesy red lettering need the same treatment too. The punk-rock modern Z1000 orange is vile, a disgrace, and needs scrapping in favour of a deeper red to match the front. Better still, the red bits should be replaced with a deep blue very similar in shade to the jacket in the background whilst retaining all the present black parts. The frame needs blacking out. As do the horrible muddy wanganui river look on the crankcases. Other than that not a bad looker. Hell, you could even live with the stupid muffler.
