04 & 07
They are almost different bikes.
I've answered this before somewhere....but here goes.
Tuoldo (Gen 1) 02 - 05
Taller & larger than later model, based on the 2003 mille.
Single headlight etc.
You sit ON it when you ride.
V990 engine with 51mm TB's about 113 RWHP
Single can, 2-1 exhaust - flat spot in power from 5-6k, then loads.
Engine does produce a bit more grunt at low (2-3k) revs.
Tunuo (Gen 2) 06 - 09
Smaller and lower than early version, based on 06 RSVR
twin headlights, tail as per RSVR
You sit IN it to ride, much more like a japanese bike feel. Feet further forward.
Ti or Evo Engines 54 or 57mm TB's dependant on age, about 121 or 126 rwhp.
Twin Exhausts, linear power - but bias towards top end.
Rough model history
02 - Tuono R model. Carbon, Ohlins and Oz parts. Limited edition,rare & georgious
03 - Tuono Fighter. Tulip red/Gold, Magnet grey/Gold. Black Brembo wheels. Showa/Sachs. Plastic bodywork
03 - Tuono Racing. Black, yellow number boards. Carbon bodywork, Ohlins, white Oz wheels. Also race bellypan, nose and other bits. Close ratio gearbox.
04 - Tuono R (again) Black/red wheels, Silver/red wheels, Fluoro red/black wheels, Showa/Sachs. Basically same as Fighter model but new colours
04 - Factory. Similar to Racing, blue Oz wheels, Ohlins. white number boards. No race gear.
05 - None produced - they are 04's
06 - New Model based on RSVR. uses Titanium series engine. Blue Oz looky-likey wheels, Showa/sachs suspension, colours, red/black or black/grey or silver/grey.
07 (07.5 USA) Evo Engine, colours red/black, matte black/grey, or blue/white - so called "Greek flag".
07 - Factory. Evo Engine, Red Lions head tank Oz wheels (blue at first, gold later), Ohlins suspension, Carbon bodywork.
08 - R model new colours - white replaced black/grey
09 - R model colours - silver, blue/white & Orange
09 - Factory - Black dream colour scheme
I might not have all the colours right for the last year or so - as it's difficult to establish exactly when they change, and the importer still had stock of some colours. I haven't covered some of the really tiny details but it should be a rough guide.

It depends what you want. If I was buying another I would get a factory (oh **** I am aren't I :yes) so it depends how far your wallet will stretch.
I love my Tuoldo and I am really having mixed emotions knowing it is sold and I am moving on to a new Tuono. :bawling:yes:dunno:crazy:lol
But.
I spent a fortune and hours getting the Tuoldo to the bike I love, engine and exhaust changes, reworked suspension (get a factory) carbon bits all over (get a factory), and on my last bike holiday it broke down.:banghead
With the newer model the engine is much more sorted - mostly due to the 2+2 exhaust, and it makes more power. If you prefer the look of the Tuoldo don't worry, on the road there really isn't anything in it.
At the end of the day what can you afford, and which do you like.
