Not to mention they're still pulling the old "dry weight is class leading at -0.5 lbs" bullshit. Just put how much weights in reality. The 2012 Tuono is looking like a chopped RSV.

mootmoot posted:Good for you for being so enlightened and sympathetic to the plight of women dude! Don't post here. No one likes you. That ad is "ballsy" if you're basically a teenager and have never actually touched a woman. Motorcycle advertising is the worst poo poo ever, but I do love the old Norton/Triumph strategy of just putting good looking women on their bikes in ads. Still sexist but in a much cooler and manly way   This just made me loving mad, this is the opposite of the MV ad. While the MV ad will appeal to virgins this is targeted straight at the "born again bikers"

That has nothing to do with it - it's ballsy because nowadays that's about as far out there as you can get. Chances are they probably got in a heap of poo poo for it. That's why I like it. I do like that Triumph ad though.

Some people's pet peeve is exhaust wrap, some people hate vintage firestone balloon tires; I get sick of seeing "sweet cafe micro led lights vintage lQQk" that seem purposely designed to be as invisible as possible. I guess it's a show bike, though.

It's a daunting-looking stack of trivial tasks. We got a Uly motor rotated for access to the rear rocker cover in about an hour and a half, first time through. But there's no valve adjustment interval so why stress it?
