That half fairing is ug-ly!...And they're on the Kwak ZX1200 Eddie Lawson rep.

I agree...my buddy has the ZRX-1100, and I can get over the green and purple color scheme, but that little plastic box with a headline in the middle is just pretty.

For a "naked" bike, the Tuono sure doesn't show much of its motor - which I don't particularly care for.

OTOH, it's performance and wicked looking tail are

in my book.

Yet for what I want out of a bike, the Futura is the Aprilia for me... just too bad it's been discontinued.

I've been fortunate to have ridden all the 02 model Aprilias (Aussie releases anyway) when my wife worked for the local dealer.

My pick, if I could only have one bike, was the Capanord, and in fact had they (the dealer) got the Aprilias in store 2 months earlier I would have bought one instead of the Bandit.

But for sheer excitement on the road, the Tuono gets my vote.
