If the tuono had a little more tank range I could probably justify it as a 2nd summer bike for touring D

The sound, oh the sound. Best sounding bike ever IMO.

I had no idea it was that much worse than the Street Triple!

What range do you get from a Street?

230-250KM before the fuel light. Never tested how long the reserve lasts but I have about 2.5 litres left in the tank when the light comes on.

I've so much of daytime footage of wheelies, so much better than this vid and yet I can't be bothered to edit.

Man I should have started biking when I was younger, way too scared to damage myself of my bike doing that now, so jealous.

A lot of people say to me "I like bikes, but I'm too scared of them." You don't have to do stunts, I only practise wheelies. But the bike has too much weight at the front and not enough power. I can make it wheelie, but on the camera you can only see the seat and the tank... :/

Edit

BTW There're schools that teach you how to knee drag and do wheelies. Saw it on youtube couple times, I can't remember how I searched for them tho...

We swapped bikes and tried to do wheelies on each others, his is much easier to wheelie... engine, tank and 2 radiators mounted more to the middle than front.

Edit2

It's never too late to push yourself further on a bike.

You're only 34! :rolleyes:

. Get one. Do it!

Glad I got into it young, at least now when I have a bike at 40 it isn't my mid-life crisis, it's just me

never too old,ill still use my zimmer frame to waddle up to my motorbike,hop a leg over it and ride, if I manage to live that long

IC3 · 2 Oct 2015 at 23:45

Nice, that traffic... tho. I'll be without a bike till tues-wends, hopefully that pump will fit.

TallPaul_S · 2 Oct 2015 at 23:48

Yeah probably 60% of my commute is traffic similar to that, it's a soul-destroying in a car!

IC3 · 2 Oct 2015 at 23:50

On the bike on the other half its fun, if you had to ride these straights without traffic you would get bored.

So its not just the 125 that sounds like a tractor haha.

TallPaul_S · 4 Oct 2015 at 21:42

I didn't think it was too bad.... until he started the 1995 diesel car up at the end :eek:

Yeah...

My front wheel lost traction for a second, it felt a lot worse than what it looks like.

TallPaul_S · 5 Oct 2015 at 22:41

Cold tyres? there was nothing on the road that I could see.
