Concise buyers summary for Tuono

#1 Post by flatlander » Wed Jun 20, 2012 1:41 pm

Hi all Richard the absolutely top man who sold me the falco has succumbed a little to temptation again and has just sold his big Kwak. He is considering among other things a Tuono (gen 1). I have given what advice I can bit would appreciate being able to give something more concise and probably more helpful .. Any volunteers please step forward now :smt001

not much too say - they have a huge grin factor

main issue - sidestand

check service history

check nose cone for signs of a drop and possible front sub frame damage


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Same service schedule as falco more or less ?

Tuono:
* Inbuilt speed limiter - calibrated to the strength and endurance of the rider against the wind blast.

* Even more ugly than Gen1 Mille

Tell him a v twin does not ride like an inline 4, and that he will have to get used to the bike and not be so faint hearted has he was with the falco. :smt002
