Isn't the full sport mode for slick tyres on track? Not surprised it's lethal.
For me I had a V4 before I bought me first Tuono. I like the engine characteristics of the V2 and don't want to go to the V4.
My Tuono with it's ~140BHP is more than fast enough for 99% of road riding, and the only time I ever want a bit more power is on race tracks, and even then with the upright riding position I don't really need it.
Some people will buy the new bike because of it's "Top Trumps" factor, more power etc. Not for me, I am happy to admit that I am finding really fast road riding less and less enjoyable, and feeling ever more mortal with the passing years. So buying "more" would be less for me.
