Who uses their Tuono as a track bike?

Would love to see some pics if you have them!
 
I've used mine once on the Estoril track so far, unfortunately I only got one photo of it :dunno

Here's mine from a day at Cadwell last season. It's a 2000 RSV/Tuono hybrid rather than a genuine Tuono though. Built it from spare parts I had lying around the garage:

It now looks like this following some winter fettling:

It's had a gen 2 radial front end, Tuono Racing carbon nose fairing and belly pan and an 03 Tuono rear end. I'll be back at Cadwell Park on 16th March if anyone fancies it?

I use mine as a track bike but I'd rather not as I've binned it at Cadwell before :banghead

Shame I cant see the pics mate ( work computer). I added a 52 plate Mille R to use as a track bike instead of the T but thinking of doing a conversion myself as I`m too old to fold. Any problems encountered?

How do these bikes hold up against modern sports bikes, out on the track.
 
I will do a day on my V4 at some point but I use a blade on track :cheers

I tracked my gen 2 a few times and it was awesome on the track, will dig some pics out and pop them up, got some great ones from an extremely wet day at rockingham with a massive rooster tail coming up of the rear tyre. Not had the v4 on track yet but am very very tempted.
 
Oh hell yeh , if I had the time and money to do a couple of trackdays a month , then I don't think id bother riding on the roads anymore !!IMG_0006.jpg

Was in a fast group at Castle Combe a couple of weeks ago ..... all I can say is I need the practice as some of those guys made me look stupidly slow !!
