The Tuono instills confidence right from the get-go. What a great naked liter bike. It was soooo hard to keep it under 6000 RPM those first miles, but the huge torque and relative smooth-running at low rev's helped immensely. Then 7500 rev's for another little bit. Took 10 days of after-work evenings to break it in; just could not get back on my Ducati ST3 without feeling it was an unrefined beast. The Tuono is now THE ONE for solo rides and such a pleasure in the twisties. Not a single issue with it... the lack of a fuel gauge was at first, but a few tanks later you get confidence in the range between petrol stops. The tires (Metzlers) are superb, albeit a bit too soft for lots of road miles (it is, after all, a track machine it would seem). Must slow down as 140 MPH feels soooo good on this baby. The multi-function display is easy to read, easy to use, and keeps tack of all the important stuff. Now I want the RSV Mille!
