Hi all looking forward to reading lots of stuff on the tuono v4.

Been biking for 30 yrs owned every thing from a Yamaha rd250 to my current V4 and my daytona 675R

Pity they're policed so frequently. :bawling
 
Take a bit longer and head up the wester ross costal road, yer'll cream yer pants. :yes
 
Welcome Mate I'm similar to you been riding for 38yrs all sorts from Kawasaki triples to Ducati's, this is the best bike I've ever owned....enjoy your V4 especially through Thetford forest an up to Swaffham & on to Wells next the Sea, I'm a little bit further down in North Essex just thinking about getting mine out of hibernation!....yours from mototechniks?
 
Hi, no from wheels in Peterbourgh MC couldn't match the deal shame there only 10 mins from me, there's far better roads around Suffolk than the one you mentioned that route has now been ruined by a 50mph limit from swaffham to Wells :-(

Loving the v4 done a euro trip to Switzerland last year was great in the twistys and off to the black Forrest in Germany this coming May should be a scream on the German roads with sweepers that seem to go on for ever wooooooo hooooooo
 
Yes been to wester Ross too, phenomenal up there !! Been up on all sorts , ZZR1400, hayabusa, Z1000, fazer1000 , ZX10r but looking forward to getting on the tuono to experience the V twin grunt :)

Theres some good road around Suffolk but they don't compare to roads up NORTH.

Planning on another trip to Scotland in 2016 we normally go every 2 years.
 
Hi Gary & welcome from another newby... Great Bike!

Some nice roads in Wales mind you... which make a great excursion if one can't find the time for the Highlands! :)
Not so many police from what I gather. Some average speed cameras... but they point towards you... which is handy considering bike no-plates are rear facing! :thumbup

Not forgetting the 'Evo Triangle'... but watch out for the police... they use any old car apparently, parked on side of road...
Evo Triangle - Driving Roads

Looking forward to a run into Wales come dry roads and a bit of sunshine...


PS: Had a nice run today up around Twycross and Market Bosworth (A444). Popped first (ever) power wheelie in first... pulling away from lights on A5... :lol and getting used to opening her up a bit more... since upgrading from the SV650 curvy. The SV was great on the twisties... but the Tuoldo is pretty close... and the way it powers out puts it into a whole new league... :thumbup
