I fancy a change of bike... Or do I?

[Yamazer-92]

A Honda Firestorm pulled up just in front of me once, completely open exhaust and ever since that chest thudding experience I always thought they are badass. Pretty cheap too considering, but they aren't sit up bikes more sporty with the clip ons and as stated guzzle fuel. Look pretty nice tricked out. TL1000 is an axe murderer machine that has a rear suspension that doesn't work for the engine / chassis although I think a lot have been modded so they do actually work now. Again, quite sporty position. Don't know anything about Tuono's. What is your actual budget? To throw a few curveballs in there that people may not think of I'll say -
