hahaha...I bought my tuono to replace an aging hornet9.
after 10 miles on the back, she announced that she wasn't for getting on it again.
(what is it with women and 'nether' regions?)
anyway, upshot was, I kept both bikes.
it's no dearer, excepting an mot and ved on the additional bike...so about £100 a year.
been a lifesaver for me, as I've always had a bike to ride when the ape is in bits lol

Everyone that rode with me got off and complained how cramped they were, although I do have a no-slip cover to not loose them easily. The Tuono is the true hooligan or track day bike. I agree with Rizia; loose the rear seat and pegs; problem solved.

But, and I can't believe I am going to suggest this, but, if yours truly insists, buy the ButtBuddy tractor seat and strap it on. But if you do, you didn't get it from me as I'll deny such a thing should be done to a Tuono:

Never taken a pillion on my Tuoldo so I removed the pegs and put the cowl on. Tbh I don't think anyone I know would go on the back anyway.

:lol:lol

to be honest the wife comes on the back (ooer) and likes it. I also take other ladies out (not without wife's permission :kicknuts) and think it can be quite cool with a bird on the back. slippery seat (won't comment on that) just get pillion to dig her knees in harder.
