I don't think that is a Factory, the Factory's have gold Frames and Ohlins Forks.

Nice bikes Thumbs Up

Great choice with both.

Lots of confusion here with Gen 1 and Gen 2 Tuono models.

With the Gen 1 (2003-2005), you had the Tuono Fighter, which had a Mille engine with a few less BHP, downgeared in first and second for wheelies galore. Other than that the cycle parts and suspension were straight off the Mille. Then you had the Tuono R model, which had Ohlins and the Mille engine with the standard superbike gearing, a 'racing' exhaust and carbon fibre bits.

-

For Gen 2 (2006 - 2010), it's pretty simple. All models have the same engine, with the same power, with the same gearing (which is the standard gearing from the RSV1000R sister bike). That aside, there are two versions:

Tuono 1000 R - The 'basic' model. Engine and cycle parts the same as the RSV1000R but for a cheaper (and pretty naff) rear shock.

Tuono 1000 R Factory - The 'bling' model. Exactly the same but for a gold frame, Ohlins shock and forks and forged Marchesini wheels.

-

The bike photographed is a 2006-2007 Gen2 Tuono 1000 R. Exactly the same as blackwolf's but for the colour scheme.

It's the best part of £2000 less valuable than a Factory of the same year.
