Luxembourg
This is me:
It's a 2003 RSV Tuono with 32k kms (<20k miles). Unblemished (so far ;-) ). I've only had it for about 2 weeks and only had the first real ride out last Sunday.
I bought it just over the border in France and imported it into Luxembourg (I'm a Brit expat living in Lux). It came with a Laser titanium can and a GMP chip. I don't don't much about the chip but they seem popular in France. I straight away fitted a 15 tooth front sprocket.
I thinking about getting a rear seat cowl of some sort and ditching the passenger footpegs and possibly lowering the rider footpegs a tad to help my aging knees.
Background: usual story: had some fast bikes in my younger days including a RSV Mille, then had kids, moved house to accommodate them, lost the garage, blah. blah. Ten years later, kids are older, moved to Lux, got a house with a big garage, fantastic biking roads on the doorstep, never got over having to let the Mille go so started the search for a grown-up version.
