Looked like a good battle with the SD being quick in the twisty bits and out the corners. Tuono shreds on the straights though.

Is the rider anyone off here?

But yes the SD is more nimble round the twisty bits, it also gets good drive out the corners however I think the V4 could get out the corners quicker with right rider.

But it does monster the straights, going to chuck a 42t rear which will suit Cadwell more me thinks.

I didn't know they were forum members clearly lol.

I assume on a circuit with longer straights and fast corners the Tunono would rip the SD a new one. But to be fair the Tuono is a naked superbike really isn't it.

Good battle though.

Dan, did you let Millar back past at the end of the Park straight?

Not sure if he showed me a wheel and I relented or I outbraked myself, looking at my lines I think it was the latter.

Thanks Dan. Millar was certainly going well there.

When I took the Touno out one thing that shocked me was how fast you could be going down the straight without really knowing it. No stoopid noise from the airbox and the motor is really silky smooth.

Me LIKEY!

Yeah it's had a few bits done, but power wise, -1 tooth at front, K&N air filter, arrow can, race map and I added a quick shifter, SD is still punchy enough upto 90 though
