I'm struggling to think of a sports bike since the TL1000R that has enough storage space to carry all that. I can't think of a new model from the last 15 years that would carry any of that.
Same era, although there are 2006 models out there but I can put 2 bottles of red in the hump of the SP2. Mastodon2 said:

Make sure you try it in T mode with TC at level 1 or 2 and anti wheelie off, it's not that much of a pussycat then , completely agree about using first for tighter corners, it's such a tall gear on them.
Managed another 120 mile run today, love it, I have the anti wheelie on 1 and the TC at 6 lol. Purchased a bum bag today for all my crap, I have only just worked out the technique for lowering the side stand while on the bike .I am going to get some adjustable levers because the clutch lever is quite far out, disappointing the bike comes with bog standard clutch and brake lever.
I also need to get some kind of tank protector for where the knees sit because if that paint dulls its going to be unsightly .

I managed a bit of gel time today (120 mile round trip) and getting the shiny tyres scrubbed in. Its err certainly different to anything I have ridden before, its slightly more comfy than my 848 evo .
To be honest its a pussy cat . The gearing is really tall and not just in 1st, most of the b roads your in 3rd gear and back to 2nd or 1st for the tight bends and big islands. If you ask for a handful of throttle below 3-4k it sounds very agricultural.
Nothing like my old gsxr 1000 k8 . I have had a play with some of the electronics and at 1st it takes a leap of faith to rely on the anti wheelie but it doesn't take long to rely on it .
Love it to bits, fantastic bit of kit, albeit lacking a bit of torque and it feels very tall on the seat so I need to check if its been lifted up. The manual is massive so going to have a poke around it tonight with a few beers Notice fag tin on seat, I have to wear my rst textile jacket to carry all my crap until I get a bum bag .

Great choice of bike! Definitely a nice pipe needed - what did you go for?
Shame to hear about the MV not going through. I had my MV for 18 months did 10,000 miles and didnt miss a beat, I just wanted more torque and better electronics (More so the ABS)
Just bought myself the Tuono Factory which I pick up Wednesday
Had to do the pipe thing too although they sound good stock where as my MV sounded like a tractor!
