If you keep it in the other bikers will laugh at you and call you names, thems the rules!

Yeah, but some exhausts are ridiculous... my mates stubby with a baffle in was louder than my sebring without a baffle.

It's like wearing a butt plug if you keep the baffle in :eek:

Don't say that all the gixxer riders will be rushing to put their baffles in :eek:

Oi!

I bought a 7x5 plate, the exhaust will be here tomorrow. The2wheels F up on my delivery so that'll probably be here next week, hopefully shorties will be here next week too. The indicators should be here this week.

I'm sooo tempted to pick up an Aprilia Tuono in the next few months, stonking value - 130bhp v-twin, hmm

And plenty comfy enough to do some long distance touring on.

V-Twins at first seem brutal, the down bottom torque and engine braking is harsh at first.

But, considering how much you on about V-Twins and V4's you'll probably love it.

Yay, i got a new job today which means I'll have a longer ride to work.

Kinda funny really. Had 3 interviews really. The 2 which I should've easily had I was unsuccessful and the one I thought I would apply for the hell of it I got!

I'll admit, I do love a v-twin

I still remember my test ride on a monster 821 just after I'd passed my test

for commuting and town riding a big lumpy v-twin isn't great, but for the open road... :cool:

I may have to

as it's gonna be another year at least before I could get a multistrada, and I don't think a Tuono would lose much value if I picked one up for around £4k, I'd have enough put away to buy one around May/June time

Copying my TallPaul (great choice!).

Oh of course it does. First up will be a GoPro next month. If only to film the complete idiots I see on the road.

When are you planning on buying the Tuono?
