Good evening all,
Nene Valley Railway and the Stibbington Diner are almost within sight of my house! I’m always up for a cuppa!
Corrosion on the final drive and a tiny area on the front forks (!), whilst not structural, kills me a bit each time I see it! I will rub down paint and lacquer it over the next month or so, once I match the paint colour!
Tuono vs K1300s....
Handling, the Tuono has it, I’m tempted to keep it and track it, I wouldn’t dream of riding my BMW like the Tuono! The brakes are on a par.
Engine, on a par. BMW has more power but the bottom end grunt of the V-twin is amazing.
Economy, BMW! Even an RX8 drinks less fuel than the Tuono!
Value for money, Aprilia most definitely!
Riding position, on a par (Tuono for sub-50 miles, BMW for everything else.
Tuono is a £2500 great fun bike. But I won’t tour on it as it’s Italian and will no doubt breakdown as far from home as possible!
