Well took the T out for its first blast today.
Only 20 mins riding but enough to get a taste for what its like, after meeting my mate at his house to see his T factory, pulled the bars back as they were a bit far forward for me (much better after), in relation to the SD here are my + and -.
Tuono Negatives:
-Back brake non existant (and I use it)
-Dash mists up
-Suspension is gash, rear bottoms out too easily, front is a bit plush as it stands.
-Does not sound as good with open Akras.
-Side stand needs to be longer.
-windblast compared to the SD.
Tuono Positives:
-Oh the power, pulls like a mo fo, where the SD lags between 100-140 it keeps pulling.
-Dash functions are good.
-Fits me better, feels like your in the bike rather than on top.
-Gear box is better than my SD.
Wont comment on the handling as was not pushing it, and the suspension needs work, its come with pretty brand spanking Pirelli Angels and used to Racetecs.
Overall was a nice ride, will see if has that appeal that kept my attention with the SD for so long, its definately going to be a weapon once its sorted, going to check the suspension settings are the same as from the factory :yes.
Apart from the power, my first opinion is the SD is a better bike as stock compared to the R, lets see if if can compare after fettling :thumbup.
