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

Depends on price but sounds tempting. .

The RS looks good but the tuono looks shit.

It's got to be around the £13/£14k mark I would have thought.

They almost look like pocket bikes.

Agreed Tuono doesn't look good.

The current Tuonos are ruined by the horrendous paint jobs.

Post by **duke63** » 26 Oct 2019, 11:13

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

It looks like the from fairing is falling off.

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

Post by **D41** » 26 Oct 2019, 14:57

Why would that be better than a v-twin?

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.

Announced next week.

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.

Post by **Cav** » 30 Oct 2019, 09:24

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

Sounds good.

Doesn't sound as good as my Versys

Post by **Kwacky** » 05 Nov 2019, 13:37

They're claiming 100bhp and 169 kg.

Brembro brakes, up and down shifter with blipper, ride by wire and the usual maps and controls.

100bhp? Are they having a bubble ?! I might bloody get one to replace the ZX6R !!!
