Let me guess (without even looking) Its the blue monstrosity? (well IMHO it is)

Mind, some might say that about my Blue Monstrosity. Each to his own after all

Why would you do such a thing to one of the best looking bikes on the road

I doubt he’ll get his asking price…it’s gonna cost a mint to put it right. If he wanted to keep up with his mates those daft Jap pocket rockets without hurting his neck, then he should have bought a Falco

10 hours that took to fabricate

what a piece of engineering. Obviously they didn't want to spend the money and get a replacement tuono fairing, hence, the updated, better one off fairing

Awesome .... i cant believe the've ruined such a beautiful bike ... oh well! Im sure it keeps the wind off the rider .. not very aerodynamic though

it looks like a fairing off an suzuki sv1000s ????

I dont mind it

Dont like the original wasps eyes one anyway. I thought it was the old triumph600 top but I think youre right with sv1000

I'd be more worried that the forks are like bananas

I stuck the above into Babelfish to translate from Pierre-ese into English ... this is what I got:

Came back in from the pub the other night and in another fit of drunken madness turned on the computer and started digging around ebay ..... came across this different looking Tuono and, you know me, before I knew what I was doing, I'd only gone and stuck in a huge bid on it ..... please someone say you like it and don't disown me when i turn up to the next Aprilia meet up on it.
Please .... it's not that bad as some of my other ebay bargains.... not like the Ducati leathers or the helmet thats 3 sizes too small .....
