It's torque that matters on a street commuter like that. HP is only for top speed or WOT accel, which the vast majority of naked bike owners never utilize.
I think it looks good, in fact all Tuonos have always looked good, so I don't see the problem. Show me another naked bike that looks better, aside from maybe the Speed Triple. |

Benelli TorTre 1130 MV Brutale 910 & 1090r I could even make a case for the Aprilia Shiver, the "SV" of the Italian market IMO. |

It looks like the previous Tuono took a hit of speed and its face got stuck that way....
![]() Does that top side scoop direct air to the rider, or through the frame to the air box??? Great analogy. Bravo....
