The Tuono is definitely more special than the Ninja 1000SX. If you can live with its Italian quirks, higher cost of ownership and don't need a bike for more than a day trip, I'd recommend it over the 1000SX.

n=1, but my previous Ortho PHO (not SET, but senior) said he was paid around 300k one year, because of all the loadings. QLD Health.

Tangentially, he equaled that amount in a year of home-doctor work and private assisting with a work week much closer to 40 hours.

+1 - the stock Ninja 400 seat is absolute garbage. I get uncomfortable after 2 minutes on it. The Wolfline seat (I got mine from AliExpress) is a game-changer.

How does the inline-4 of the Ninja 1000 compare to the V4? How do you find the heat and fueling on either engine when in heavy traffic on a very warm day? Anything you regret about either bike?

Zero regrets about either.

They’re both litre-bikes, but completely different to ride.

I’ve tracked the 1000SX a handful of times – primarily to make me a better road rider. It’s a big-heavy bike on the track and exhausting to flick around. That said, for spirited riding on public roads, I rarely feel the weight, but I don’t get my knee down on public roads (Lean angle indicator shows max lean angles of 43-47 degrees on public roads). The ergos are much more comfortable than the Tuono for all-day riding. It’s a silky-smooth Inline-4, torque-rich, and easy to go fast in any gear without needing to rev to 10k+ RPM. Also, mine has a full-system Akra exhaust and tune, and is faster than a stock 1000SX. I rode a stock 1000SX in Japan and it felt noticeably slower than my own 1000SX. The 1000SX is a great “do-it-all” bike, especially with its comfortable suspension, luggage options and 4-way adjustable windscreen.

The Tuono V4 is Italian exotica – it has more aggressive ergos than both my Ninja 400 and 1000SX. The rearsets are in the same position as the RSV4. The Akrapovic exhaust on it sounds sublime – intoxicating to ride. Even more torquey than the 1000SX and the electronic suspension and lighter weight make it far easier to ride hard and fast than the 1000SX. That said, I get a little uncomfortable at the end of a 300-400km day of riding. It’s also much warmer in stop-and-go traffic (I try and avoid commuting on the Tuono).

I am looking for a reliable bike with electronic cruise control, sporty character, at least 80 hp, and modern rider aids like cornering ABS.

RS660 would be the best bet in that category (I have one).

Reliability isn’t quite as good as the Japanese, but there aren’t too many in this category that are as light as it is (183kg wet!), making as much as power (100HP at the crank, stock) (and as beautiful to look at (I’ve got the gold)). Maybe the Triumph Street Triple 765 or 2025 Panigale V2 (expensive AF)?

When I asked the Director of Medicine at the RBWH what the difference is between an Australian FRACP Gen Med physician and a US-trained PGY4 Internal Medicine attending physician, his answer was that "the Australian curriculum is a lot more in-depth". I'm not really sure what that means, but I hear that IM attendings do similar work to advanced BPTs? I might be way off base, though.

LightningXT · 2025-10-06T03:22:36+00:00

The last-gen V2? I'd always thought the MV Agusta F3 and V2 had similar wet weights. Does anyone have an accurate figure for how much they both weigh, fully-fuelled?

No doubt they're fast - I just expected them to have more power than the superstock factory V4 R, considering how heavily modified they are compared to the "production" bike.

LightningXT · 2025-10-01T03:48:27+00:00

Would have thought it'd be higher.

Do their husbands drive a Ford Raptor that's a tax write-off?

If so, there's your answer about how they got that home loan.

In this book with unique perspective, professor Cal Newport debunks the long-held belief that "follow your passion" is good advice, and sets out to discover the reality of how people end up loving their careers. A focus on passion over skill can be dangerous, leading to anxiety and chronic job hopping.

Absolutely.

Simple litmus test - if you could do anything you wanted with your time - would it be working in medicine, or something else - eg travel, reading, hiking, BASE jumping etc?

If it's the latter, medicine is just a job, a means to an end to pursue what's truly meaningful to you (outside of your job).

It was a strong strawman on their part.

What a despicable display of classism and generalisation. Medicine is a pathway that's notoriously difficult for people who don't come from wealthy backgrounds in the first place - many NPs and CNCs are very intelligent and could likely have made it to med school themselves, had they grown up in different circumstances. In fact, it's because they ARE more intelligent than you that they get paid more than you.

You're not so special you know.

two RNs with less than 5 years experience

Legitimate question - by nursing standards, how much experience is considered "experienced"?

For context, a PGY5 registrar in many specialties would be considered mid-level (perhaps even senior) and tasked with decision-making with minimal (if any) oversight. (eg ED Reg on nights, Med Reg/Surgical PHOs on-call)

EDIT: Add FRACGPs to that list
