It's pretty, that's for sure and definitely gets the juices flowing. Maybe it's because I'm a lot "heavier" than you and with all that weight over the front wheel, it doesn't feel wheelie prone to me. But then I'm used to the Tuono (both current and old, especially the older 1st generation) wanting to come up at the slightest provocation, so anything other than the Tuonos or the Speed Triple aren't all that wheelie prone to me.

PS It lives up to its name, that's for damn sure. The acceleration is brutal, as is the nasty fuel delivery.
