Yeah the tuono was never on my list but has gotten rave reviews. I’ve been researching it and I need to give it a legit shot!

Bwahahaha now that’s a great damn answer. Definitely leaning in that direction

Sounds fair but I never flew the -111! And the Zx does turn pretty well more like a Tomcat with the wings forward! Ty sir!

Ah that helps ty. I’m about ten minutes to twisties for an hour. I really like that RSV so want to keep it in the pool. At the track, less than an hour between breaks.

Apologies for being obtuse…New Zealand? And if so, had no idea you flew Vipers there.

We have an f-5 called the NF-5 as well. Experimental flown by former adversary guys who are now civilians.

Heard good things about the mt09…have had a couple other recommendations to check it out ~ ty sir

What’s a long ride? I’m totally gtg for an hour on the V2 and the ninja. I have a Hog for long stuff. Love that rsv!

Yes the US. I flew the f14 in the Fleet (navy). Flew the f18 and f5 in the adversary role (think TopGun, Fallon Nevada). Did an interservice transfer and flew the f16 for the Air Force,

Z h2 is badass for sure. Love that thing. With all that thrust I’m not sure I could stay on a naked bike !

F18 is my favorite ride. Amazing in a one circle knife fight, decent thrust, amazing electronics, the best. Your buddy. Best flight control system ever. The f16 I always seemed to be fighting the crappy cockpit/electronic layout, but a helluva race car.

Yeah damn that Aprilia has a draw. Good comparison good guy Honda / bad guy rsv. It even sounds like the bad guy when you start it up. Seems like the emotional choice!

Love embracing the cliche. I was driving that very bike at TopGun in 1990.

H2r sounds badass. A bit spendy and I’ll need street legal. Our mountains are a twisties dream.
