I'm an old fart too but FACK -  I want one!

 

Taking a few chances with side roads and time of year with straw bales = tractors but hey, we've all done it.............190 kph in a 70 zone not too clever either but entertaining! Love that twitch handlebar motion 

 

Hey, Drumwrecker - sent you a PM the other day - I see you haven't received/read it yet.....................

I test rode the Tuono version and decided not to get it as this video would become my normal ride to work and I would be finding A&E every other day!

So I just settled for the carbon racing Gen 1 Tuono which isn't quite so ummm…. Larey!

 

Just ask trevini

I'd a test on a Gen1 standard Tuono at the end of last year - dealer was asking a wee bit too much for it, then I saw it discounted in the Autotrader - I went down with the intention of bagging it when a guy rode in from a test run and bought it there and then 

 

It wasn't quite like the RSV4 in the vid but the bars were twitching on every tiny crest - luverly - so grunty!

Oh no it's about 60-70BHP short of the V4 but but it's still lively enough just doesn't lift the front quite as much!

Such speeds on minor roads not to be encouraged ... that's why tight 'twisties' are so much fun, you don't have to go so fast!

 

I must say, I would expect someone pushing on to be using at least all of his own side of the road on approach - surely this is always the safer, as well as faster line, and did not seem to be his natural positioning. Unless there was a lot of cr.p in the gutters which did not look it.

Too grunty! I've had a broken clavicle to prove it!
