Hello all. I was hoping to get some comments and opinions on the Tuono's seating position. I'm in the market for a new bike, (to me anyway) and the Tuono is the only bike I haven't had a chance to even sit on. I attended the Toronto Motorcycle show this afternoon and had a chance to sit on a lot of bikes to compare ergos. I should mention that I'm 6'5" and weigh about 260lbs. One of the bikes on my list is the KTM Superduke, I sat on one and was surprised at how comfortable I felt on it. I also liked the ergos on the Aprilia Shiver. Just wondering if anyone has experiences with any of these bikes and can make a comparison? Thanks!

Hi GPZ, welcome to the forum.
I am also fairly tall at 6"2 and weigh around 230lbs and i find that the Tuono is by far the comfiest bike i have ever ridden. I was away with pals in the summer and the only other rider that felt fine after 10hrs in the saddle was a pal on a Triumph 1050 tiger all the rest on the sports bikes were feeling the miles.
So definitely you need to go and give one a blast but i am sure you will love it.
Some people say that they need to drop the pegs but i find mine comfy enough.
Also the power delivery and ride is second to none great bikes!
:cheers
