And I'm now the proud owner of an '08 Tuono Factory. Having discovered I have arthritis in both hips I decided I wanted a sportsbike with an upright riding position, and the Tuono seemed the obvious choice.

So far I'm loving the bike, it makes me giggle out loud at times and makes me be a naughty boy when nobody else is looking. However, I can honestly say, with my hand on my heart, that this bike comes with the most spectacularly useless owners' manual I have come across in several decades of buying and abusing motorcycles.

I hope that's as bad as it gets for me

Given it's the ugliest bike I've ever owned I'm wondering whether you're all right in the head :) But hey, if it's the price of admission, don't say I didn't warn you.

Welcome,

Never, ever let your T hear you say things like that :megaphone
Always remember she is Italian, and can make your life hell if you don't pay her the respect she deserves. :devil
A T can make you look silly if she feels like it. :lol

Gray :cheers
 
Ugliest yer ever owned yer say !!!

See yer GP and check fer cataracts. ..

Welcome btw.
 
hey up and welcome pal,

i wouldnt say she was ugly, but she's certainly got attitude, me likey :thumbup
 
Hi and welcome you think the T is ugly I had a Suzuki B.King
which looked like it had run in to a brick wall but with a engine
like that [1350cc] who give a ****.Just where dark glasses and you will be fine :lol
 
Good point about the B King lol

I'm hoping the T's austrian heart will counteract the latin temperamentality. So far the motor seems very linear and predictable and sounds much nicer without the baffles
 
welcome , old **** and enjoy the banter . being old and being are a **** are prerequisites for this forum , nice bike BTW it,d look a lot prettier in the fast blue colour !!:lol
 
That's not ugly that's beautiful (well maybe apart from the silly coloured frame :lol ), trust me I am a man that has owned TWO Honda X11's! :eek:
 
Hmmmm I can see the T's a bit of a marmite bike looks wise. :-0

I shall need to stop looking for my reflection in shop windows ;-)
 
just blip the throttle as you pass, and watch the windows wobble :thumbup ive got the akras on mine with the baffles out, the noise is addictive :yes
 
Oooh she's got a bit of a drink habit, just like the last red-headed woman I went out with. She was barking too
 
Greetings and welcome to the forum.
Who cares what a bike looks like as long as it gives you plenty of pleasure and a hard on. :thumbup
