    RSV4 Tuono

    Spotted a new RSV4 Tuono on my ride today. It's a pretty sick looking bike. I wouldn't want one, but it's a nice looking naked bike. It looks flat black to me which was sweet too.

    Mike- Thousand Oaks Vespa has one this week for demo. There were a few folks out on it this weekend. Were you out near the Rock Store? I couldn't get on it this weekend, but I'm scheduled to take it out for an hour Wednesday afternoon. Give them a call to get your ride. I've hyperlinked their name.

    I'll post pictures and vids when I'm done with my ride.

    The toughest sell was to get my girl to let me ride on the street... I miss it SO MUCH!

    No, I was out at Mt. Palomar. Looks like an older guy, like my age, bought it from GP cycles.

    Wow, already bought it! Impressive. I thought they were still taking orders, not receiving deliveries. Turns out the one at TO Vespa is yellow anyways.

    [fingers crossed it doesn't rain tomorrow!!!]

    I took it for a ride yesterday, and all I have to say is WOW!!!! I'll do a better review of what WOW means when I've got some downtime so stay tuned. But honestly, WOW.

    I really miss riding the street....

    people rave about the track but i say the street is where its at. its like a 2 way track every day and still survival of the fittest eveyday. back roads are even better and no pigs to boot

    Do you think it would be possible to put the front fairing assembly on the Tuono V4?? Reason I ask is I hate the way the new Tuono looks, love the RSV4, but want the relaxed riding position and street gears.

    No. The bars would hit the fairing.
