well i got it today had a blast round the city showing it to me mates wow what a fun toy this is its managed to make my 145bhp thunderace fighter feel gutless the way this thing exits corners is amazing yup i think i'm in love






 
few more





so i've been told tuono is italian for thunder if so here we have thunder and thunderace together :thumbup

 
Sweet machines mucker,,,,,,,,,,,,I know whit one I'd chose to ride.
 
I take it you like the "T"

You`ll have to keep one in your garage from now on ............. very addictive
 
Well I've managed to clock up 100 miles on it now so it's creeping up 6200 now.the more I ride it the more I like it . Only a couple of gripes that I'm getting used to not problems just different. first one the horn button is where my indicators are on my other bike so I've had lots of funny looks and a few waves of people I don't know as I peep them when turning into side streets :lol.the 2nd one is strange I don't know if it's my big clodhoppers but when I flick the sidestand up I keep knocking it into 2nd gear only did it twice but never done that on any other bike like I said strange that. On the plus side it's the most fun I've had with my clothes on or off I'm still getting used to how fast this thing changes direction it feels like a 400 compared to my fighter I think I need to book a few track days and wheeles I don't think I've seen the sky so much I'm thinking of taking up stargazing now In short it's everything I wanted in a bike :thumbup

I also have the issue of the horn & indicators being one way on my Tuono and the other on my FZ6. You'll get used to it.
 
Con,
You get used to these minor differences quickly.
I've been out on the T today having spent all week on my jap bike. I spent the first 20 minutes sounding my horn at every junction, and not signalling until last minute. A small price to pay for the grin they put on your face.
 
Great looking bike and good colour choice too ;) my vfr had horn and indicators oppsite way around and I pip quite often instead of indicating and then pretend it wasnt me ! Lol the more you ride it the more youll love it !
 
Thanks for the comments guys forgot to say there is another problem this one really is doing my head in it doesn't fit down the side entry of my house (yet) the bars are too wide plus my shed isn't that weatherproof at the moment so it's living at my mates house in his nice warm garage until I sort it out but he lives 9 miles away :no so I have to jump on one bike ride 9 miles go for a blast on the tuono then jump back on the other one ride back home. I should have the shed sorted in a few weeks and with some short levers and bar ends removed it will just fit. Oh what fun I can't wait till its living at my house :bawling
 
Nice pics. I also have the horn and indicator issue. But couldn't put my finger (scuze pun) on what was different - I just dont ride the japper anymore.

Oh and your bike is an 03. They changed to black frames for 04 & later
