Hi all, Jono here. Just signed up to the forum. Good to see some owner info on the supersport and test ride feedback emerging slowly.
Im in the market for a new bike after selling my '15 zx6r. Have narrowed it down to 2 Italians, a Tuono or a Supersport. I can buy an outgoing model brand new '16 Tuono RR for cheaper than the base model Supersport. The Supersport probably wont be available down my way (New Zealand) till late May.
Trying to decide which way to go. As i see it:
Tuono pros:
power
v4 sound
cheaper than supersport
available now
lots of aftermarket parts and mechanical knowledge of known issues
good bike for track days
Tuono cons:
service intervals shorter than supersport
not a good commuter, doesnt like low speeds (my opinion)
drinks lots of gas
no factory autoblipper
Supersport pros:
Autoblipper and QS
lightweight
Safe to say it will do more MPG than a Tuono
Supersport cons:
Have to wait till late may
Only 110hp
Expensive to buy (Supersport S for me is $3500 more than a '16 Tuono RR)
Ducati reliability can be questionable? You get to know your mechanic very well?
Maybe I'll buy one of each! Sadly not possible
