It's torque that matters on a street commuter like that. HP is only for top speed or WOT accel, which the vast majority of naked bike owners never utilize.
I think it looks good, in fact all Tuonos have always looked good, so I don't see the problem. Show me another naked bike that looks better, aside from maybe the Speed Triple. |

FUCK THE TORQUE!!! There is plenty of torque in the RSV4. Gimme full bore version or I'll take my money elsewhere.

Benelli TorTre 1130 MV Brutale 910 & 1090r I could even make a case for the Aprilia Shiver, the "SV" of the Italian market IMO. |

It looks like the previous Tuono took a hit of speed and its face got stuck that way....
Does that top side scoop direct air to the rider, or through the frame to the air box??? Great analogy. Bravo....
