Thank, other than the mufflers it is all stock. I'm thinking about doing the cat delete just because of the heat issues. The bike makes decent power for what it is in stock form. Ton of guys around me have spent stupid money on their 103's to get some decent gains but at the end of the day its still a 800lb motorcycle
I changed out my exhaust to Fuel Moto's header and High Roller mufflers on my 110. WAY more comfortable for the right foot and a TON lighter, not that it matters on my 900lb ultra
I'd be one of those guys that spent the money. Took the bike down to Star Racing in Georgia and they put their 107 kit in it. Went from 77 hp to 129. It may be a 900-lb bike, but the difference you can really feel. Cost about 4K out the door. I consider it money well-spent.
Sold off almost all before I retired last year. Still have this sitting in the shop and a Harley 48 in my other shop.
It will carve a perfect 37 ft diameter circle. And with Brembo brakes fore and aft, it stops like a battleship. It has more torque than an offshore oil rig, though.
Thats cheap hp, I may consider that if I wasn't already satisfied. Just remind me to never ride your bike, I'd hate to get depressed.
That's a beautiful bike. One easy way. He helps sponsor Kyle Wyman, who will be out at the MotoAmerica Salt Lake City round June 23-25th. They could probably transport it for you.
The current collection, less the track bike which is at my great friend's place in Canada. Blessed and grateful! Never thought I'd own such cool bikes. I blame my parents. I just wanted an XR75, since all my friends were junior motocross racers. Nope.
Hmmm, that's a tough question. The Multistrada is more versatile, and can be used for multi-day trips, in addition to being extremely fun and sporty when I want that. However, the Tuono Factory is my number one absolute favorite bike of all time - but much more suited to single-day hooliganism. I put off upgrading my 2010 Multistrada for years to a newer Multi, because I was waiting to see if Aprilia would come out with a big sport-tourer/adventure type bike, using that incredible V-4 motor or some derivative. Finally late last year I gave up waiting and bought the 2016 Pikes Peak. So, to answer your question, I guess I'd have to keep the Multi since it'd have to be three bikes in one to meet my needs. But I'm glad I don't have to make that choice, because I'm completely head-over-heels in love with my Tuono.
I took a 250RR (the REAL baby blade) for a spin last weekend. What a hoot! I imagine the 400 must be pretty fun, too. It's nice to pin it and know that you aren't going to lose your license (in 100 feet). And the 22,000 RPMs sure do sound sweet...
