Hmm well the Toulon 1000 sure looks a lot more comfortable :z - http://www.airsprungfactoryshop.co.uk/toulon-1000-pocket-double (http://www.airsprungfactoryshop.co.uk/toulon-1000-pocket-double) - :z but I recon the fazer will have it beat on speed and handling for sure  :rollin

My bro-in-law has a gen II Tuono. He hates it as I ride the R1 and use fuelly every refill. I always take the p1ss and shout out my mpg figure as it's usually in the mid 40's.
The Tuono is lucky to get mid 30's :-[:-[

i get about 100-110 miles to the light coming on, for about £17 worth it though they are a real handfull off a bike.  :)

don't get me wrong the tuono is a great bike but for what i do in biking the fazer wins hands down, i did over 300 miles yesterday and the fazer guys were fresh i was knackered, its a gen 1 tuono comfort not as good as the fazer and drinks like a fish  :lol

yeah if i had to keep 1 it would be the fazer, its took me to europe twice no problems and the fuels better.  :)

its an app for your computer/smartphone tht you put in how many litres & miles every time you fill up and it gives you your MPG :)
