Most of those bikes get "detuned" engines and none of them have a sport bike chassis. Even the TL's chassis was different than the TLR's chassis.

Well whoop de fucking doo!!! The Tuono is a fucking pussy bike bitch! Whatever!!!

Seriously though, I thought that the Tuono was also re-mapped/tuned for more mid-range, torque, etc... I didn't think that the Tuono was basically a RSV without a fairing and clip-ons. I thought there was more to it. Hmmm... Well, I'll take your word for it, bro.

Aprilia and KTM only make pussy bikes for fags like me.

The Tuono is nothing more or less than the RSV without the fairing. Usually the 1st year Tuonos would use a slightly older RSV engine but by the 2nd year rolls by, the Tuono will have the same engine.
