It looks like it's going to be dry until about three so will get to play on it today when it arrives. Need to go and get tax first :)

The next video will be of the Tuono, that's for sure.

No top box for me cameras though :cry: I'll have to dig out the Kriega.

71 to 130bhp is a big difference but I had a play on my mates 153bhp K1300R the other day and thats a big fooker.


Stop the press!!

Its arrived :)

Now I just need to work out how to get to the battery. It's not up to scratch it seems.

More to follow!

Thanks lloydie appreciate it. I see a nice little rideout coming up. Up through wales to Al's and then across to Coventry to yours and back again.

Gonna see how I get on first. Battery is on charge and I've ordered another just in case.( It's handy being married to someone in the motor factor trade :thumbup: )

Ooo err :) Brand new tyres. Is that a bit of gravel caught in the tread or a plug. Get yourself a metal grill for the front of the rad. That's the only problem with front mounted rads, they get bashed a bit by stones and other road debris.

Looks like a fun bike. :thumbup:

Looking at the pics I thought it was the stretched edition. :lol:

I agree with Lloyd, take the baffles out. :D Looks like a clean looking bike. You just need to sort out the battery and find some camera mounting points. :thumbup:

What the underseat storage like, better or worse than a storm.
