Well, I took the plunge yesterday and bought a sweet 2007 black and gray Tuono. Only 12,500 miles on her and she looks to be in great shape. The bike came with aftermarket mufflers made by DanMoto. I've never heard of that brand, but they are mostly carbon fiber. Really light and really loud...
Hi there,
Im new to this site as I only picked up my Tuono from a dealer yesterday.. so I'm already pretty excited and up at 4am looking for stuff to buy and which OC website to join.
The bike is gonna take a bit of getting used to as just changed from a Honda CBR900RR 918.
First track day on the RSVR for me, just getting used to the bike, had suspension set up there and really happy with it. Hope it's not too boring :)

on the way home a helpful lorry moved over into a hatched area to let me pass, showered me in stones and debris, and cracked my friggin headlight :banghead:banghead:banghead:banghead:banghead:banghead:banghead
replacement unit it £220, on top of the £420 service, yesterday was expensive...
Bike finally went back together last weekend after a sprag change so went to Cadwell with a mate on his newly acquired CBR 600RR track bike.
Foggy morning but it cleared up in the afternoon. Bike went and looks well, rider managed neither:
Hi to all.

Roads were fairly quiet, with a good mix of corners...

... so thought it rude not to take the bike out :biggrin
Rang the old man & went for a 100 odd mile blast through 'The Garden of England’. Nice to feel the warm again, roads were in good condition apart from the damn potholes, roll on the summer :thumbup
Is the same here again today...
I went to the open day at WheelPower in Raynes park yesterday, to see the new RSV4.
There were a few adverts in MCN and bike press etc... so thought I would pop in, even though I have had a few less than ideal experiences with WheelPower before.
I turned up quite late in the afternoon, there...
So I was cornering hard through a right handed hairpin, had the beast cranked over as far as I could, when she lost grip and slid out from underneath me. :bawling
The good news is I am ok. I had my gear on so only a few minor scrapes.
Now for the bad.
My jacket, gloves, and helmet visor need...
