A lot of interest being shown in this. Seems there is also a Tuono version being tested.

The RS looks good but the tuono looks shit.
It's got to be around the £13/£14k mark I would have thought.

Agreed Tuono doesn't look good.

The current Tuonos are ruined by the horrendous paint jobs.

Priced correctly it could be a big seller and hopefully start a trend of more useable sports bikes.

A parallel twin sports bike would suit me down to the ground.

The GS had a parallel twin and it had all the punch and torque of a v-twin but was almost as smooth as an inline 4. V-twins have a habit of being very viby.D41 wrote:Why would that be better than a v-twin?

Let's hope it's not a disappointment like the Daytona.
I'm interested in the figures. Surely it won't be kicking out more than 80-85bhp? It's a 660cc parallel twin. In order to be competitive it has to be very light.

It'll be 76bhp and lightest in class (or 2nd to I presume the KTM 790 if that's the same class?)
1bhp more than whatever the Kawasaki and Suzuki produce anyway

They're claiming 100bhp and 169 kg.
