I've had my 03 since 2010 with 21k miles. Now I have 51k and took a 2up trip from Tulsa, Oklahoma to Albuquerque,New Mexico last fall. Well... 2up on the way back. No engine issues to date. View attachment 4082.
I spend about 6 months searching for a low mileage Tuono, eventually found one, a 2006 Gen 1 with 7222 miles on the clock, and had to pay 4 grand for it, but it was a proper minter. Now, with a F/S/H, i have got a bike that should last me as long as i want it.
Goes like stink, sounds like thunder and scares old ladies ;0)
123,000kms on the Tuono now. Thinking of doing the cam chains as it sounds a bit like a Suzuki at idle. Still goes like a cut cat though, especially after I took out the restrictions in the air box and the midpipe.
Gen 1 had 65000klm when I sold it and ran perfectly, Gen 2 has 75000klm on it and still runs fine. As with all machinery it is how it has been looked after that determines it's life span.
