Hi to all I am the owner of an 08 Tuono, Really unfortunate that this bike is not passenger freindly. Wife thinks I bought it on purpose, anyway after much moaning and sarky comments about me going out and enjoying myself with me mates without her I decided to look for something more comfortable and sensible to keep her sweet. So, after quite a bit of searching I have just bought a 1986 K100RT, 40000 miles with 7 owners, It is in fairly good nick from what I can see. I picked it up last week and what an experience riding it back home in the rain was!!! The tyres aren`t up to much and will be changed soon, anyone got any reccomendations? Other than the weight and the ungainly not wanting to go round corners I am quite chuffed. The fairing is marvellous, great wind protection, think i`ll have to get an open face helmet now, it has a cassette player but am limited to listening to johnny cash over and over, is a cd player an option?
Am still polishing and fettling at the mo and looking forward to cruising to sacrboro and whitby etc.
