The Japs can make a sports bike but struggle with a naked,they only have to raid there parts bin to make a real good naked but always seem to make a heavier frame and go to great lengths to detune the engine with small valves and no compression and piddly throttle bodies :lol

Woulda been easier to take the fairing off an R1, stick a handle bar on there and call it a day...

I could never understand why Suzuki didn't do just that with the gsxr naked . instead of making the thing look like a scooter !!!!

I,m with 180slayer in thinking the mt 10 is an ugly fooker ,as has been said before ,

the japs just don't know where to put all the gubbins that is hidden behind all the plastic

on a race rep .

I'm 99% sure I'm having one, just don't know whether to p/x the Tuono and the fz8 or purchase outright, £9,999 I've read

I don't think its too ugly, compared to what I see in the mirror. :lol
Wouldn't mind a blat on it see how it goes. Pal of mine had the FZ1 a few years back and it was a hoot.

they have used the cheaper version of the r1 that they sell in USA.
i sat on it at the NEC and it was comfy .
price is good but i think the Bmw 1000r is more bang for your buck

" Driven by a 998cc crossplane engine tuned for extra low to mid range torque - and rolling on a lightweight ultra-short wheelbase aluminium Deltabox chassis with a natural riding position*"


Doubt it will have the character of a twin !

definitely not one for me!
It is truly butt fugly, the japs can never match the Italains when it comes to integrating engineering with design.
Just look at MV's they are beautiful and compered to the MT10, my Tuono with all the covers over reservoirs and oil tanks looks like Claudia Schiffer next to that carbuncle!
Renat over, back to work :biggrin
