I can't believe it, but Aprilia detuned the Tuono by 20-HP. Motherfucker!!! Those spaghetti eatin' bastards, what the hell are they thinking about?

Once again, ruining a perfect naked bike with a stupid front end.

Looks too similar to the faired bike. In fact, it looks like the type of bike that should have clipons, not bars.

not THIS bad though... shit this looks like it HAS side fairings just missing a chunk of them

I guess it's just the radiator that throws me off, how it's got plastic from headlights to the chin spoiler... I mean from the front you wouldn't even know it's naked...

I'm not really into naked bikes and have never been much of a Tuono fan so he11 I kind of like this one. :lol: Well except for the mirrors anyways.

This is 20 hp less than what the Tuono previously had ? :?: If so then yes that sux.

I think it's 20 less than the motor put out in the RSV skin

It's torque that matters on a street commuter like that. HP is only for top speed or WOT accel, which the vast majority of naked bike owners never utilize.

I think it looks good, in fact all Tuonos have always looked good, so I don't see the problem. Show me another naked bike that looks better, aside from maybe the Speed Triple.

Yea I'm not really up on the Aprilia's so I was going by this...

The point with the Tuono is that it's a naked RSV without any apologies. The other Tuonos were never detuned in any way, not in the power, not in the chassis nor in the suspension. Now comes this V4 version that Tuono owners have been waiting excitedly for and we get slapped in the face with a 20-HP reduction?

FUCK THE TORQUE!!! There is plenty of torque in the RSV4.

Gimme full bore version or I'll take my money elsewhere.

Ducati Hypermotard(S)
Benelli TorTre 1130
MV Brutale 910 & 1090r

I could even make a case for the Aprilia Shiver, the "SV" of the Italian market IMO.

I can understand feeling this way.

It looks like the previous Tuono took a hit of speed and its face got stuck that way.... :lol:

Does that top side scoop direct air to the rider, or through the frame to the air box???

that shit is BARELY naked... it's like a stripper with pasties... waste of time

Great analogy. Bravo....
