The point with the Tuono is that it's a naked RSV without any apologies. The other Tuonos were never detuned in any way, not in the power, not in the chassis nor in the suspension. Now comes this V4 version that Tuono owners have been waiting excitedly for and we get slapped in the face with a 20-HP reduction?

FUCK THE TORQUE!!! There is plenty of torque in the RSV4.

Gimme full bore version or I'll take my money elsewhere.

I can understand feeling this way.

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???
