Tuono is unruly and unreliable, but it never fails to bring grins
Decision made.
Took the Tiger in for an mot today, and it remains the perfect commuter tool.
Oh well I will just have to keep both of em....D*mn it

D*mn it
Made the nice rational decision to reduce the number of bikes in my garage.

Get the T down for a proper set up and service - it will be well worth it - My Mille was a different bike after a fettling by AP last year

Re: D*mn it
I can thouroughly recommend sorting out the R/R wiring and upgrading the starter cables.

Re: D*mn it
Never had a problem with the handling or wiring.
Don't mind getting it serviced, but there will be no adjustment of what is already a nice handling bike.

Re: D*mn it
Never felt the need to adjust any of my bikes.
I have ridden a few bad handling bikes, but to be honest my skills are not at a level where tweaks will be noticeable.

Re: D*mn it
you just learn how your bike responds and deal with it,...being a bit older my 750 did things that my 800 I soon realised doesn't,...how it responds to dips/bumps etc... nearly 2 years and i'm still re-learning/adapting
