Default Tuono V4R debut at EICMA

I can't believe it, but Aprilia detuned the Tuono by 20-HP. Motherfucker!!! Those spaghetti eatin' bastards, what the hell are they thinking about?

Looks too similar to the faired bike. In fact, it looks like the type of bike that should have clipons, not bars.

not THIS bad though... shit this looks like it HAS side fairings just missing a chunk of them

I guess it's just the radiator that throws me off, how it's got plastic from headlights to the chin spoiler... I mean from the front you wouldn't even know it's naked...

I'm not really into naked bikes and have never been much of a Tuono fan so he11 I kind of like this one. Well except for the mirrors anyways.

This is 20 hp less than what the Tuono previously had ? If so then yes that sux.
