Too tiny for you means just right for me, mate. :) 

The Tuono V4 is one of the few new bikes that appeal to me.  I could see flatter, narrower bars being required and the taller Aprilia accessories screen being required, though ... ;)

Congratulations, Nick - enjoy!

Compared to the fazer the fuelling isn't as good, the seat is also a plank, but apart from that it puts serious fun factor into riding. Still trying to work out the settings for traction control/anti wheelie/launch control etc...  Think i will need a diploma before i can work it all out :eek  I have however managed to change power modes! The tuono v4 is the first bike i have seen since i bought my fazer new in 2005 that appealed the minute i saw it. Typically its been raining since i got it so i haven't had a chance to get out on a good run yet.

And so the modding begins ... :lol

What's not so good about the fuelling, Nick?

It's slightly snatchy at low revs and it feels like it is hunting slightly on a steady throttle. I might get the race ecu $400 :eek , which helps the fuelling and improves mpg. The reading on my clocks says i'm averaging 26.2 mpg :'(  I've already ordered a roadlok  http://www.roadlok.co.uk/ Brilliant disc lock which attaches directly onto bike and you carry the pin in your pocket, as there is no room under the seat for a suitcase padlock never mind anything else!
