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

Hell its prob more than 20 over the old rotax

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.

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.

The benelli? No

I think it looks pretty sweet. It's look even better with clip-ons...

I can understand feeling this way.

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

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