Thar be fuel injection gremlins in most bikes and they're usually most evident juggling between closed and tiny throttle openings. Suzuki's fuel injection pisses me off the most and is related to their dodgy dual butterfly intake valve'y thingy's.

Sorry to hijack a thread, but whats the differance between an rsv, millie and trueno?
Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot

Two are the same bike, the other's a car.Originally Posted by renegade master
Badoom psh.
An RSV 1000 is often referred to as an RSV mille. I think that used to be written on them too, but no longer.
The Tuono is the naked version of the RSV.
needs to work harder
Interesting. Why? Again, not in a ranting fanboy sort of way, merely interested in the experience...

any big differances between the rsv and the tuono? just fairings? Differance in price?

My hands were waaaaay way down and there was heaps of weight on my hands. No where near as comfortable as the GSXR k5/6 or the RSV. The K3 1000 of Drews was a bit worse than the K5/6 but no where near as bad as the CBR600. I rode the 600 from Te Kuiti out to 8mile junction...and a bit of the way to Taumaranui.

Fairings, bars etc. Some different shock and brake specifications on the standard models, although you can buy "factory" versions of both bikes with ohlins suspension, brembo brakes etc. Tuono is about $2k cheaper than RSV.
Whats awesome about the current tuono compared to other naked versions of sports bikes is it uses the same engine with the same power output as the RSV, 139hp.
uuuuhmmmm?
I like the way you think!!! Too bad on the maths, I would ask if you had been practicing too much table tennis and not enough study, but then again Ive seen you play... so cant be that.
at least i can keep score!!
Don't you just love golf?

Yeah, its a pity it wasn't the score of the game we were playing
I could buy a GSXR and paint it the colour that I want...probably just black...

Close, but they are actually slightly lower rated than the same year RSVR (factory or non). The current RSVR is rated at 143bhp to the Touno's 139, and when the RSVR's were rated 139, the Tuonos rated 123 I think.
A lot of the aftermarket bits are straight swap however, like exhausts etc - even the full system, headers and all. Interestingly the Tuonos are slightly rear biased weight-wise, I think something like 53% on the rear wheel, 47% on the front. Would imagine that this could have something to do with the lack of confidence in the front that Clivoris mentioned, as the RSVR has a very confidence inspiring front.
I would also have thought that the rear bias would make the Tuono a wheelie monster!

There must be a bit of weight in the fairings of the RSV eh?

And you are bloody good at it too. I think you should forget study and become a full time Table Tennis Reffing Cheater!!
But on topic... I really like Flames bike.. the Aprilla

Ah yes, and Tuono has slightly more torque.
Playin' around
Not sure what causes the difference in weight bias, as like you say there is supposedly only the fairings to make the difference. However definitely the ergonomics of the RSVR will shift more of the riders weight over the front wheel, as it has a more agressive seating postion compared to the Tuono.
Edit: According to the Aprilia website, the RSVR weighs a whopping 4kg dry more than the Tuono. Maybe the fairing does add a bit?
