I use Suzuki GSXR 1000 K7 as my only bike and commuter. As long as I can I will stick to sports bikes, so I would go for the Aprilia RSV4 Factory as money is no object I would add BST carbon wheels, suspension revalve, 24 litre fuel tank and heated grips. Would also add other bling but that would be the main things for starters.

Tempted by something fun, usable, powerful and different for everyday use. Any suggestions?.....................Aprilia Tuono r 1000cc V Twin.
Absolutely Bonkers. Fast as a sports bike. Easy to handle if you have the guts.

Well, technically it is a sports bike as all they did was take the fairing off the RSV and put a handlebar on. Are you challenging me to see if I can handle your Tuono? I'm up for that!  :lol

Seat padding looks a bit thin, and could do with bigger heated grips...

Even WITH a Fazer, the F800 looks more comfy for touring.

Agreed although I think the f800 gt is a good all rounder, as I do lots of town riding plus the occasional longer ride. I think they get around 60-70 mpg as well. 

I think the 1200 rt would be too big for city riding.
