It has most of the performance of the Aprilia Tuono, a bike I covet, likely with none of the exotic headaches, and at a huge cost advantage. MCN just rated it 2nd to the Tuono Factory in the super naked category. But it is a bit unconventional looking. Have to see it and study it for a while when it lands here.
Tuono, all attitude and style. Yamaha gets the job done. It comes in two color schemes if I am understanding the website info. I'd get the green wheels just for visibility.

I've got one of those already in red. 
This would be for the moods of those other days...

I wonder about the short wheelbase of this one; gonna be very quick-turning.
1st Gen. - '05. A beast with great ergos. Really, really loved that bike.
