Apparently there are two unregistered Hayabusa for sale if they float your boat

That's a question that cant be answered , you will try and convince yourself you only need one bike, and the super naked will win on all practical accounts. A better question would be do I need to double my budget and buy both or more I tried but failed .









Not everyone's ideal 2 bikes but you get the idea, and there's always room for more

[Doddd]

2 cracking bikes you have there. If i could afford it then that would be easy lol just get one of each. Yeah defo the naked is more practical and prob more fun too, i like the sports bikes too... less wind blast. But more chance of losing licence aswell lol🤦🏻‍♂️

Tuono would be my choice... Possibly SD though if you fancy something else mental but want comfort

May I ask why you sold the V4? It is by most accounts a great bike and the fact that you are considering another one speaks for itself.

Fortunately, I have ridden the other three (I appreciate that riding and owning are two completely different kettles of fish:

The Blade a found very small, almost 600 like in proportions. But somehow it seemed to lack a bit of soul. Probably because it just felt a bit too well sorted. A very good bike, but didn't get under my skin.

The S1000RR was a rocketship, as expected, but also fantastically complicated. In fact, the dealer spent almost as long explaining to me what all the various buttons and switches did, as I spent riding the thing afterwards! Again, very good, and I personally really like the non- symmetrical face. Quite rightly a very popular bike.

The KTM Superduke is a fantastic bike, so much power everywhere, and yet so easy to ride, even for a wally like me! Also like the styling, the V-Twin noise and the outlandish-ness of it all!

The one I would choose if it was my own money though, probably would be an updated Tuono V4. I used to own the V-Twin version, and it was brilliant. Always had a soft spot for this bike. Whack on a set of sticky tyres, wait for the freezing rain to stop, and go and embarrass some superbikes!

Thanks lads.
Fk i got rid of my v4 because i test drove the newer 17 plate tuono factory, with the tft screen, and it was just so much better than my bike, i had the 2014 v4 abs version. I thought id keep that forever until i test drove that factory version lol. Reason im still not sure is the factory version still a little bit expensive, more chance of getting the other 3 bike for my budget.. really do like the ktm though. Really fancy a v-twin, ahhh decisions decisions.. the wifes cracking up listening to me goin on about bikes hahah.

If you loved the Tuono V4 and want a sportsbike this time, surely there's a very obvious answer .

rsv4 factory's (or RF) are a steal now. Wonderful bike to ride too. Don't get an early one tho, get a later APRC model.
