MT 09 is a great, awesome, and incredible engine wrapped in the most budget based chassis and suspension money can not buy. I think with that one you will be dropping money in the suspension.
The aprilia is an incredible bike, with zero resale, and sketchy reliability.
I dont need Suzuki, Kawasaki or Honda building a up-spec bike. Just because they bolt on Ohlins suspension, its still not "yours". If you want oem ohlins to be great, you still need to revalve and re spring for your weight.
I could understand knocking suzuki for poor throttle response if it was 2500.00 for an ecu reflash, but its not. Its a simple, 250-350 dollar fix.
Plus, anyone who thinks Aprilia went all in with their Tuono has to look no further than its front master cylinder. It may have been stolen from my 1999 sv 650. Heres a pic of a used one on ebay.

The v4 is a wonderful motorcycle engine, it really is. If this bike was built by the Japanese, you'd really have something special.
When you see something like that front master cylinder, its obvious they were working within a budget. To have such low spec in an important part, god only knows what other corners were cut.
