Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

I likey too!

Can't wait till April when I can get a closer look and a test ride (already booked!!) Not too keen on the lower fairing area around the oil cooler but the rest of the bike looks superb

I was thinking like Pete, that the new Tuono V4 was probably nearer to a cross between a Tuono and a Falco, even more so with a bigger screen.
Looks OK to me, not pretty but aggressive.

Wouldn't kick it out of the garage if anybody left one there.

Then again, at the expected price, I can't see me paying to put one in my garage just yet.

It's only Gio and Andy that don't, as far as I can see. The rest of us are furtively checking our piggy-banks, with a look of lust in our eyes...

Well yes i like it - in the same way as i would give kylie a ride... Does not mean i want to get serious and live with it....


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Yeh OK, and Kylie ain't black with a silver frame either.
Which is possibly why Pete wouldn't stick with her.
Then again it may just be that somebody would beat the S**t out of him if he did.
So forget Kylie and just ride the T4, should be a great ride, and looks very different to the norm, which is what we all like.
