Cheers guys, really please with it, its mint condition (at least for now!) I'm all the way down in Devon which is pretty bloody wet at the moment. Only picked her up yesterday so will tax from 1 march and hope for some dry weather. Have had loads of other bikes from gpz900r to gsxr1000 and loads and loads inbetween but enjoyed my old mille and had a falco for a few months, that combined with a Husaberg 650 at the time 4 years ago were great, but now 48 and 3 years off a bike I think this will be just right for me.
Have mates still in London so the plan is to meet halfway (about 75 miles) for a regular ride and hopefully get back and do the odd trackday whilst the body still can!
Any advice on the Tuono gratefully received. Its got akros on it plus has different sprockets, 1 tooth smaller on the front and 2 bigger on the back I think, not sure if that will make it to low geared, is a steering damper standard on this model?
Cheers
Kev
