Possibly. Could then sell it and buy two Falcos?

I'd put the bits I liked from the Tuono onto the Falco. Oh wait, I already did that

Pros - Tuono has more power
Cons - but a tiny fairing with no protection
Neutral - different riding position
Isn't that about it in a nutshell?

is obviously aFatory tuono
Obviously they come at a price .... £100,000 not being "Premier League" but £250,000 buying you a rideout with the PM and the chance to take Mrs PM pillion.conservative
I'd take the Falco but with the Ohlins and OZ goodies of the Factory .... and If I really had to choose, It'd be the Falco. RSVR Factory might get a different result though ....

I must admit i'd give up the falco for an early tuono Factory, but no the latter updated model

No such bike - the early ones were the Tuono and Tuono R
Which did have a "Factory" in the line-uprobbier6 wrote: but no the latter updated model

Sorry yes D, i did mean the R, didn't they do an R as an edwards rep as well IIRC?

actually there was a very rare early tuono factory....
i think the earliest ones were 2004 but most, like this one were 2005

friend of mine had one - was a thing of beauty :)
he lost his job and had to sell the bike before i started liberating things off it....
