Betcha I could squeeze another 15+ hp out of it pretty easy.

to answer the question that the thread is based upon.

No, not at all in anyway, shape or form.

 

[twp081321]

ummm no, uncompareable to the EBR [down]

I'd say there's some 1125R in there without too much of a stretch. The flair of the tank, the general look of the front fairing, and the little baby scoops on the side definitely ring 1125 to me. Looks almost like a concept model.

 

[Fatty SS]

Boy, that's a stretch. I don't see it. It looks like a Tuono to me.

 

[stamen]

nope

 

[anrkizm95]

if you look at it upside down and backwards you can see a hint of buell in the tires.

 

[Theycallmecrash]

Oh! I see it now! The tires are round on this bike, just like the Buells!

 

[JWoody]

More like a Z1000...

If I squint really really hard

In that case, it looks a bit like a Moto Guzzi Eldorado too.

Just curious, has anyone ever rode a Tuono? I've been watching them for years but I've never had a chance to ride one.
