Replacement engine fitted and all seems good, got 3 weeks warranty remaining so hopefully some decent weather to allow some "testing" - never broken an engine on a road bike before and seems just...

Yep, bought a later one thinking should be more reliable as more development, but managed to get the year that has occasional "issues" and would imagine failure rate is one in very high number....

Speaking to AP workshops it’s not an issue apart from some 2008 bikes, checked my engine number and it’s 2008, so late registered on a 2010 plate..

Got a late 2009 engine advertised as 18k miles...

Been riding the Tuono for 6 weeks or so, had great fun and decided to get a custom map for the power commander that was fitted as the previous owner had just downloaded a generic one. Took a call...

mine stayed as 16” as well, never had any problems. Got the forks serviced and k-tec springs for my weight fitted and shock was serviced and re-valved by MCT, that would have helped handling quite a...

Heres my old bike, sold now but its 1999, the last of carb versions, think RRX from memory.

Great bike, I would say more usable on the road than modern sports, but then I bought a newer blade to...

Looked at a good few bikes, but the Tuono ticked all the boxes best - its a bit bonkers, but pleased with it. Managed to get a good one, 2010 and 15K miles with service history.

Good shout on the speed triple, will investigate

Yep - a but unfair to call them lardy, I have had 2 CB1300's and ridden my mates XJR, good bikes but want a size down!

For the first time in about 15 years I have found myself without a road bike ready to head out as the better spring weather approaches.

So...looking to spend about £5K for some summer fun and my...

Yep - my sort of bike, had the 750 version in the early 80's, if revisiting now though then def agree sensible upgrades as above is the way to go to avoid "rose tinted glasses" effect.

Never mind the bikes, congratulations on an immaculate garage!

Up until Rays post no one said either was better than the other, the first clock posted prompted a few others, none of them containing any TFT bashing and to me was based on a like minded visual...

Foam surround RVF400 clocks from 1994 - great fun getting to the red line

Ahh... fond memories of the SP2 and to be honest also the lesser honda big twin the firestorm. Dont know if i got lucky with my storm but it was an incredibly stable bike at higher speeds, which a...

Forgot about the picking up issue - good point!

Agree the sentiment of second bike for off road rather then dual purpose.

Dropping it is inevitable off road, even if fairly non challenging green lanes, a wet bit of grass or shiny bedrock will...

On these it was oil starvation to the head on some production runs and not others, as this one has survived 36 years should be ok

Yep - gear driven cams, but pretty sure its a good one anyway.

In my experience horror stories about failures on particular models are usually overplayed, although I don't doubt they happen and...

Got this a few weeks ago to fettle over the winter, runs fine and everythings there and from initial inspection, just end cans non original.

Photo from seller, my garage is a little bit tidier,...

Just catching up re fuel consumption....haven't a clue about mpg on any of my bikes over the years and never been a consideration to be honest. Pop the cap and if I cant see any fuel will fill up,...

Just got my helmet back from the painters having decided to get a Niall (everyone calls him Neil) Mackenzie themed design. Niall was/is a proud Scot and raced GP's with a thistle design on red...

Ditto - headed out for my first off road session with a friendly Cumbria TRF group yesterday. Most definitely not making any allowances for me as a total beginner, but towards the end of the day I...

No, not posted in wrong section of the forum, been quite a busy 6 months or so with various ins and outs, so bit of an update…
