Maybe Tuono is the way to go

Before you completely discount the Falco, have a gander at this.

As an ex Falco owner here's my comment....

Very comfortable & quick machine, A roads & Motorways are really pleasant.
It has a large cockpit and plenty of room to move about too.
They sound fantastic
The headlights are brilliant
It wheelies for fun, even when you don't try

BUT....

Like every litre V-twin, it drinks like a fish
Mine handled like crap - it could be that the suspension had been messed around with, but it hated corners
They eat a battery every 6 months (especially in the Winter)
If you get one, take all the switches apart, spray them with WD40, and put them back together again.

Other than that, it was fine, in fact sometimes I wish I hadn't sold it, just kept it and got a 2nd bike. It will make a great tourer.

Is it just me, or is the new Tuono just, well, ugly? And not the good ugly either. The new fairing's horrible and the entire thing looks like a hodgepodge. More like a genuine fighter I suppose

Cloggs, wait for one of these

Triple engine, compact and very tasty looking, IMO. They will probably sort those cans into something nice. This looks a lively little big beast, I reckon could be

Is that the new Tiger Looks like the new Fazer 600 'S' with long suspension travel...

If so... is my initial impression

I quite like Ducati's new S4R (with the 999 engine in it )

It is indeed the new Tiger and I think it looks great.

A nice motorcycle with a v-twin engine....win-win

But its a H*n%a

Seriously, have looked at VFR 800's - Firestorms always seem to get a slating for being 'bland'
