Have any of you ridden one of these things? Wow! A real hooligan tool that just encourages you to do bad things. I know the T is bad but the Dorso is just ridiculous... I reckon I could travel faster down a tight B road on one of these things.

I really must sort the suspension settings on my T.

haven't ridden one, but they do look nice...although, on paper they look a little over weight.

I agree on first impressions.

My initial reaction was "wow" until I saw the dry weight of the thing. I am awaiting the arrival of one in the new local dealership to make up my own mind.

I think the Tuono is very hard to beat, even by a Super/HyperMotard type machine: especially at the weight of the Dorso or the Duc.

I suppose I'm just pissing in the wind until I ride them though.....:dunno

Yes, I rode one when I took my Tuono in for it's first service. I had a real 60 mile blast and was surprised just how agile and quick it was. It didn't have the top end shove of the T, but up to about 120 mph there was not a lot in it - and the back brake worked!
Impressive.........wouldn't swop it for my Tuono though!

I had a blast on one back in the summer. Well, 2. Didn't know how to change the fuel map setting so didn't really get along with it first time!

It was good fun but I found it awkward when putting my feet down as the seat was quite wide and I'm not really a short bloke!

Not sure if I'd buy one but they are good for throwing around.

:cheers

Saw one out on Sunday...think it was a white one, looked fantastic. Must get a test ride booked.

Like our Chunky lad.. my first reaction to it was WOW! when i saw it at the MC show.
I reckon it'll be a fun toy, or a hell of a citybike - i use my tuono every day - IF only it had been lighter..

Great riding position + height - but didn't get to ride it.

Would still say that im more into the shape of the tuono than this motardbeast
