A lot of messing about though, I think I'll just get the arrow headers and if I fancy the titanium, I'll order some next year!

I hate thieves... I'm lucky where I live, yesterday I left like an idiot tools outside my house as I did some quick tweaks and they were exactly where I left them for the whole evening/night till today's morning.
What do you people use on your leather, someone posted a link from amazon but I can't seem to find it... also how do you keep your leathers fresh? As in the interior...
This does a good job on the actual leather: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005EBNZTI/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Nothing apart from a wipe with a wet cloth and that stuff.

AbsolutelyI may pick up a small 250 or something to take to work!
What made you want to swap it out for the nuda? The nuda is beautiful though, looks the ********
Tested my brakes today, the left disc was cold, the right was slightly warm. Awesome, I do need to adjust my clutch though, starting to feel a bit spongy.

You should hear it, even at stock it's a great sound
Just fancied a change, wanted a Nuda for a few years so thought why not

I bet you barely got out of 2nd gear on the mountain roads. So, what's next on the list to test ride?

Will have to see it the next meet we all have
Got a new can on my bike a Scorpion, took the baffle out and it sounds really badass.
More like first on the proper mountain roads!
I think i want a 120-130hp very light bike, but no idea what.

It's amazing how much difference even 10kg can make, the Tuono feels much heavier (but also much more stable) than my CB400, they're 168kg dry and 177kg dry. The T is less flickable too but a lot of that will be down to the 160 vs 190 rear tyre. edit: I also need to adjust the forks in the clamps, currently have 1 ring showing - it should be 3 for road use, this sharpens up the handling loads I've been told.
Considering how physically bigger it is, 10kg isn't a huge deal though.
Do you want a v-twin/tripe or an IL4?

Yeah, I think we should meet up before Christmas, what bike have you got, always forget!
Isn't the new Street Triple going to have specs something like that?
Once I've moved in december and got the space I'm thinking of getting a littlw bike possible as a peojext for next summer.
Thinking a small light weight bike purely for fun.
My first bike was a 600 and then bigger onwards so I've missed out on that "little bike you can absolutely thrash about" phase.
Current idea was a vfr400 or a cbr400 (or any of the 400's if i can find one in decent nick) and also use it as practice working properly on bikes. (Maybe next winter make it into a little cafe racer or soemthing)
But i was thinking while the old 400cc grey imports were reasonably speced have they been supplanted by any of these new 250/300cc bikes that are out now?
Or are they just heavy and ubder powered

I use baby wipes fragrance-free to clean all the bugs, for helmet I use detol without bleach and other harmful chemicals and Mr Muscle with vinegar on my visor.
I also had the intention of using it on my leather sofa, I want to try and get rid of those wrinkles.I use that on all my stuff, works great, even used it on the sofa lol
Chris
Any accidental wheelies or did you leave anti wheelies on highest setting?
That's what I want for my next bike, something fairly light and nimble with over 100whp.
You pretty much answered your own question right there.
The biggest downsides are
-Heavy
-Underpowered
-Dull
-Expensive
-Cheaply made, quality comparable to 125's

All new bikes are heavy because of the Euro 4 regulations.
