- Absolutely Unique: 200 unit worldwide production with
only 50 designated for the US market. Each unit comes with its unit number
inscribed onto the triple clamp.
- Top performances bike in its segment: All the
performance and technical ability of the class-leading Mille R in a
stunning semi-faired upright motorcycle.
- Top-shelf components : Graced with Öhlins forks and
shock, Brembo 4-pad brake calipers, and exclusive OZ forged aluminum
wheels, the Tuono is as stunning when parked as when it's at full speed.
Racing heritage has never been presented in such a comfortable street
machine.
- Unique materials in a production bike: Exclusive
components such as the side covers are built with the latest hand-made
Carbon and Carbon-Kevlar material. Liberal use of Ergal hardware further
indicates the technical prowess of the Tuono. These exclusive and unique
finishing touches place the Tuono as the top machine it its segment from
both a material and technical standpoint, leading to a 4.4lb weight loss
in respect to a Mille R.
- It's a semi-naked bike capable of reaching very high
speeds (appx. 155 mph) and urging the rider to ingest turns at every
chance.
- With such huge performance capabilities, the front
fairing is absolutely essential to maintain high speed stability and
ensure smooth tracking in all conditions. Custom mirrors hold their
position at the highest speeds. This mix of pure sporting abilities and
menacing stance makes for the quintessential "Street Fighter".
- The New 2003 Tuono embodies aggressive street
performance while imparting an enormous sense of safety. Thanks to the
higher and wider handlebar (a double diameter Ergal unit) the riders'
control is elevated to the highest level. Quick direction changes are
soaked up by the Mille R Double- beam frame (In this instance rendered in
a stunning gold color) providing both the instant response and Superbike
stability that is most desired in this type of machine. Complete control
of the 128 horsepower is literally at the rider's fingertips.
- The 2003 Tuono R Limited: Exclusive in every respect,
with performance you must respect.
