No Paul - it's had a badtasteendeptomy and looks shite
Looks like the paint sprayer was inspired by Warhol but ended up more as 'Arsehole'
I'm sure they did better looking versions than this 'dinner a la dogs'.
Just an opinion, I know you'll do what you like

The Paint job is decidedly 80's...
It maybe goes like stink and that will make up for its lack of kerb appeal.
You'll need to get the flourescent pastel coloured leathers to go with it!!!
Enjoy it mate

Don't do it - think of the parts and servicing ('cos if you don't there's a good chance that many others will come time to sell).

You have such good taste! The Tuono is such a cool bike.

Its too small mate, tats the only reason. Feel much better on teh older bike. I know the new one is quicker etc etc, but had a run on my friend's one the other week and it felt tiny

Just to add to all above: the Tuono looks like a RSV Mille (well THAT's a nice bike) after it's been trashed, crashed and put together again. Even the expensive goodies can't make up for the total lack of style/design/looks.
Even my former Multistrada looked better
