no, the tuono comes in factory trim or RR
factory has slightly nicer bits like an ohlin shock, but the base model is nice too
Also one is easier to insure than the other(at least last time I checked)
The new 2021 RR has gone more touring/streetbike route so has a few extra differences. Higher handlebars, taller windscreen, lower passenger pegs + grab rail and available factory panniers.
Can't get over the looks yet though.

Just to clarify somewhat, there isn't a Tuono RR model anymore. Just standard Tuono and Tuono Factory. Makes a bit more sense, as RR usually stands for 'road race' (though Honda seems to think R's make bikes faster), which was confusing with how they were positioning the models. I'd prefer if they called it the Tuono GT or something, though, as Factory models are more common, you you always have to clarify as 'Tuono standard model'...

Two thumbs up from Neevesy:
Interestingly he doesn't mention the new S1000R when comparing the Tuono to the competition. I think he's got the BMW as a long-term test, so I'm looking forward to see how it compares. Sounds like the new Triumph isn't as good as the spec sheet would suggest...

Thanks, did not know that they did that with the naming. There is a good comparison review with the new speed triple on youtube. Very interested to see a shootout now with the 3 new supernakeds.
Saw this the other day:
Can't say I'm a big fan of the huge serving-tray winglets out front:

Think I like the older gen anyways with dual undertails
Im pretty interested to see the next iteration of the mt10. Throw some current tech on there, slightly larger tank, refresh the face and it should be a beast.

Wherezat? Looks like International based on Triumph and Aprilia sharing space, but I don't recognize the layout...Saw this the other day:

That’s where the wealthy shop. F’in baller land, <secret location>, BC.
Yep, International.
So secret that pretty much all of the lower mainland know where it is!
It is baller land though, I had to come in from out of town. Since I'm not a baller home-owner and all...
It's just asking to be inadvertently torn off just by someone walking too close to the bike and brushing up against it...
Same with those winglets on the Panigale as well.

Looks better on the GP bike:
I'm really hoping the next RSV4 borrows heavily from the current RS-GP, as I think it's the best looking bike on the grid. Might be a bit biased, though...
Impressive. Last I was in there (spring 2019, to be fair) it was basically a Triumph Moustache Wax (TM) lifestyle dealership with a few Aprilias tucked in a corner. Nice to see them promoting the brand.
Hilarious to think of them like that. International Motorsports started out selling used imported US bikes for cheap (hence the name) back when the Canadian dollar was basically at par. The polar opposite of baller. Now they have aspirations to be there, but have a ways to go to catch High Road BMW Ducati as the true 'wait six months to pay $240/hr for mediocre service' baller shop...
Well... I wouldn't say they're promoting the entire brand. They only had two kinds of Apes on the showroom floor: Tuonos and RSV4s. All sorts of different colours and trim levels, but no other bikes besides those two models...
Edit: no, I'm mistaken, they had the new RS 660s as well. Do they even make any other kinds of bikes besides those three?
Nice showroom though. We also visited Daytona Motorsports and they are making a move to become the flagship KTM store in the lower mainland. They've bought out a whole lot of warehouse space across the street from their original location and are in the process of turning it into a dedicated KTM showroom/service centre:
Their only problem, like many other dealers during this time - no inventory. All their allocation of bikes coming down the pipeline till September are all spoken for.
