Hi New to the forum but not new to the TUONO.
I had an 03 TUONO then swapped it for an 05 FACTORY,since that i've had a BMW GS 1200 ADV, ZZR 1400,TRIUMPH SPRINT 1050,TIGER 1050. I have bought a 10 plate T FACTORY back in december.
Heres a list of what mods i've done since.
MIVV X CONE PIPES
GILLES CHAIN ADJ
15/42 SPROCKETS
TAIL TIDY
BLACK SCREEN
R&G BAR SNDS
R&G BOBBINS & FRONT BOBBINS
SMOKED BACK LIGHT & INDICATORS
GOLD LEVERS
HOME MADE RAD COVERS
in the pipeline are
HOOKED AIR BOX on order
FIREBLADE STAND [when i can find one]
LOWER FOOTRESTS
and anything else i can think of.
I have had great enjoyment reading some of the banter on here, may it continue. :thumbup
Hopefully some photos.

Sweet ride. I'm on my first twin since my TL-S in 2000, which I adored, then all in line 4 naked stuff which I loved too but the Tuono is in a different league altogether makes all my past bikes feel like a barge on wheels…..its an absolute hoot, I cant wait til the wintery weather sods off and I can get out and have some fun again.
Nice cans…..liking them a lot!

Hi Uno, welcome aboard, nice lookig machine, hope you enjoy it. I recently got my Fireblade sidestand from Germany (E Bay) think it was about £44.00 delivered typical German efficiency was on my doorstep within 48Hrs. Cant remember how to find the link it's somewhere about the place. anynyway they're not as scarce in Germany as they are over here.

Welcome from me too Uno, see you had a Tiger 1050, what did you find to make you get rid??
I had a 2009 model, found it ticked all the boxes but imo., boring as old farts

Hi rig
The gs is a great bike,for a big bike it losses all It's weight as soon as you get rolling,don't know why I sold it as I missed the do it all concept. And yes I would have another one,the only thing I missed is a bit of performance,hence the zzr 14. But I also loved the 2 tuonos I've had, so this is why I want to try the genII,

Had a go of the 2011 gs and thought it was pretty capable and comfy but have never tried the older one with less hp so don`t know if it would be too gutless for my liking .

Will propably bottle it and get a 990 SMT anyway at least i know it will tick the loony box ! Just not so many of them around to choose from ?

Thanks for the feedback anyway Uno , Enjoy your new machine
