lol! I bet . The chaps that do the r and d are local to me and they had my bike to make a full system a couple of years back , it was mega loud but I didn’t pay anything for it and got lots of merch.Yes mate deafening! I ride exclusively with earplugs in now otherwise my ears are ringing for hours after. Sounds sweet though.
First proper ride on it today (to work and back), and can say that it's absolutely perfect for me.
I couldn't help but compare it to my ZX10R which was 200BHP+, and this is way way more fun in the fact that I can bang through the gears (the quick shifter/blipper is brilliant) without doing bat **** speeds, although that said it'll still get to 120MPH+ pretty rapidly.
It's super comfortable, but still maintains a sporty riding position without all the weight on my wrists.
I'm currently running it in the sportiest map with wheelie control off (not that it'll wheelie without clutching it up), traction control in the lowest setting and rear ABS off, and it feels superb.
The engine is a peach and is a RSV4 cut in half and the induction roar never gets old, so much so that I doubt I'll bother swapping out the exhaust.
Just got to run it in now so I can properly thrash the nuts off it
Done a few imo tasteful mods to it..
Before
and now..
Love it!

looks awesome @JonRGV250
I struggled to find a bike I wanted that had the gadgets, TC, rider modes, quickshifter etc without going to some crazy 120bhp+ 1000cc bike, but these looks great, I think I may have said it already but the Tuono 660 was a serious consideration for me, glad to hear your enjoying it

Awesome.
Are they the Chinese fairings you mentioned?

they are indeed, only genuine part is the seat cowl, all the originals are in my loft
with the M sub frame.

Remember reading the 3ma's can be a bit fragile, is that still the case ?

It’s like anything , as long as you put oil in it and service it they go alright

Traded in my trusty 650F a few weeks ago for a 2023 Suzuki GSX-S1000GT.
Still a few things to do on it. Need to install tail tidy, swap tyres, change bar-ends, maybe replace the screen but apart from that I'm loving having a bit more of a modern machine.

Got a little tinker to continue my journey learning to ride trails.
It's got a few of the expected mods already, such as suspension sorted out. Not sure if there's anything other than those ram mount mirror things that I'll change for a while.
