Just read this in "Two Wheels" in Australia and thought it might be of interest to Tuono owners. Hope you can read it OK, but you should be able to save and enlarge it.

I have a subscription to that mag.

The bastards are really good at either losing your copy or not telling you that it got returned by OzPost as "undeliverable". They managed to screw up 6 issues in the last 18 months. When the sub. expires I'm going to forget about the whole sorry thing.

Not the place to say it, but having ridden both I prefer the MM. The Tuono's got the looks, but the MM is the better bike to ride I reckon.

Interesting, I agree with the looks comment, but what made the MM a better ride?

Dunno, it just seemed to be set up right for me. I find the ride on Debz' T quite harsh, jarring sometimes, you can definitely tell Tuonos are race bikes that have been turned into road bikes, the MM was a bit softer in the seat, the suspension was less pummeling plus of course over 120 ft/lbs of torque is always going to win me over. I wouldn't fance riding the MM round in the dark though with it's tiny eyes, whereas the Tuono lights are truely awesome. It's a close call, but as a mainly day-time road bike the MM *just* does that little bit more for me.
