Hi Guys

Thought I should say a quick hello here after registering today ;)

I did make a new post before doing this, but it's rude not to at least say HELLO!!

Trying to find a Tuono 1000 close to me is proving hard lol

But I think maybe I found One now :)

Seems a fair price at £4750 (although I'm am unsure about the Blue wheels?)

15,000 Miles is a bit higher than I wanted, but they will do a Valve clearance service before I pick it up, so I should be safe there I guess :)

No deposit laid on this yet (just in case something else comes up over night haha

But I think it's OK for me

One thing - the exhaust do not look standard to me? or is it my imagination?

Cheers :)

Yes I thought they looked like stock cans, but shorter?

Could just be the pic I guess
 
Yeah they certainly look different to stock?

Cant see any baffle in the One I want either lol

First pic is a standard from Goggle search, and below is the One I am thinking of getting (just for comparison) ;)

No Baffles??

Yep, yours (potentially) are definately shorter! Make sure you carry a pair of ear plugs!! ;)

That said, your 'pair' of short silencers shouldn't be any louder than my single baffleless 450mm Gen1 pipe, which makes a great noise, and not too loud!

Reminds me, few weeks back, was cruising a country back road when Pheasant decides to strut across 200yrds ahead. I ease of, and daft bird slows up too... seemingly trying to sync with me!!! So at about 80yrds I blip the throttle, and said bird turns round and legs it back into the hedge it came through! :lol
- Sufficiently loud exhausts can be life savers! :megaphone
 
Well I took the plunge and went for the One with the Blue wheels, it's the only thing I don't like about it lol, but I guess I could get them re-painted at some stage :)

Now I have to wait till 6th of May before I can collect it!!
