Tuono or Brutale?

[sks700]

Thanks for the info Rickster. From the reading I have done though seems to indicate that the "de-restriction" involves the dealer re-mapping the ECU. Is that not correct. It may be quite different on an '07 from an '00.

The Tuono is now sitting in my garage where the FJR was :yahoo:

Not that sks700 needs to see this now that he has the Tuono, check out this video. This is why I say the Tuono is an absolute ANIMAL. The Brutale (and most other bikes) are quite tame compared to this.

Again, congrats on the new bike! How are you liking it?

That was a factory rider? Braking late and beingwide on corner exit while still on the brakes? OOookkaaayyyy.....

Prolly just my perspective in my sleep deprived state.

No, not a factory rider. The bike is the Factory model. Full Ohlins suspension, OZ wheels, etc.....

And for the record, the only braking in that video was engine braking. Just ask FJRchik if I ever use my brakes. These bikes have tremendous amounts of engine braking and really slick slipper clutches.
