I really want a tuono but my wife made me sell all my bikes before our kid was born! My favorite before she had to go...miss her.
I do think that if I had to get rid of my bikes and only keep one this would be it. It does everything - way more power than I can really extract, could easily track it, its comfortable, you could ride it all day and it's fast as heck!!!
Oh and it sounds phenomenal as well.
Owned many crotch rockets, never raced, but truly appreciate this stuff.
TT is the most insane race ever. Watching those bikes have speed wobbles at 150 mph...just wow. Nerves of steel. Nothing like those guys! That IS SPEED.
JUST ONLY INCREDIBLE?
those guys are absolute INSANE.
but hell it's exciting to watch.

Incredibly insane and intoxicating to watch, almost frightening at times. Absolute respect.

You’re not helping maybe one day I can change her mind.

1098... so full of the classic Ducati charecter. loved her, and was sad to see her go.
I watch this about once every month and still have ZERO clue how they do it. Opening line from commentator - “the conditions are very iffy but they’re going anyway”!!!!!
Some of the telemetry shows them touching 200+ mph. Hugely talented &/or massively insane.
Took my hypermotard out on hwy 1 today.. this is basically like a DUCATI dirt bike with a massive 1200cc lump dumped into it. Mine is completely custom with racebuilt engine and magnesium wheels and trick raised suspension.. it's a bit much at times but there is a wheelie in every gear. Today roads were a bit slippy and since it's an old bike without traction control i had to keep the hand steady.. rear tire loves to break loose. I still had some hairy moments with front end sliding a bit in turns so I toned it down and just enjoyed the NORCAL scenery and breathed in the pinecone fresh air.. this is why bikes are so fun sometimes. Best part was sliding by all the traffic heading back into the city and already back home while others are still sitting in their cars. Bikes definitely have their place in the fun toy garage..
I have been riding for 42 years! Raced AMA and I was decent, some of my friends went on to become champions.
I have 10 motorcycles now with no time to ride, I have decided to sell 7 and just keep 3: 1290 KTM SuperDuke, 2XMoto Guzzi Daytonas (counts as 1), and an LAPD Moto Guzzi. View from my shop desk:
