Sorry to hear our selling up, if you are considering listing the cans seperately give me a shout

This bike has now gone to a good home (I hope) so I'm no longer a Falcowner.

However due to an offer which was too good to pass up and being on ebay while drunk I am now a Tuonowner. Well almost. Picking it up at the weekend...

That being on ebay when drunk seems like a risky business. Like telling the wife "when your high it don't count....."

Enjoy the T and I hope it was worth trading the Falco for.

Just a quick one!, yes the Falco has gone to a good home, me!. Excellent bike thanks Andy, and I will make sure it stays just as it is, spot on!. I am new to the forum, hello!, but not new to the V-twin experience, having had an 02 Falco, silver, 99 Mille, tri-coloured and a 52 Mille "R", matt black. back in the saddle after many various bikes, none measure up to these though, in my opinion.

I'm starting to get giddy ohhhhhhhhhh there's well, 3 of us on here now!!

Hope you enjoy it Andy, I love mine to bits. Have you bought a Gen 1 or 2 model?

If it's a Gen2 I may have some bits for it, Ohlins shock, Cored cans etc...polished hangers etc...

Glad you like the Falco Brian, er I mean Falco668! Good to see you on the forum.

I picked the Tuono up on friday and took 2 days to ride back to Notts from Cornwall the long way - I must have picked one of the few dry weekends of the summer - lucky bastard!

The Tuono is everything I hoped - same great engine but with a riding position to suit my lumbago. I probably spent too much time on the Bandit to adapt. I'll post further Tuono mumblings in the Tuono dept. It seems quiet in there...
