Hmm well the Toulon 1000 sure looks a lot more comfortable

but I recon the fazer will have it beat on speed and handling for sure

Welcome back to the fold

Like the red/black colour scheme , was in glencoe today with two mates on gen 1 fazers 315 mile round trip, great day out , I filled 3 times to their two so tuono thirsty for sure .

yeah you dont buy a tuono for economy biking

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.

boxer1 · « **Reply #11 on:** 26 July 2015, 09:17:15 pm »

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

bobdog · « **Reply #12 on:** 26 July 2015, 09:56:54 pm »

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

boxer1 · « **Reply #13 on:** 26 July 2015, 10:46:49 pm »

true, did europe on my first fazer, 2800 miles, superb comfort and fuel range, won't be changing from a faze again

Update, spoke to the dealer today, by the time they send me the paperwork to sign and I send it back am looking at next Tuesday for delivery of the fazer

Going to be a long week

whats fuelly then?

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

boxer1 · « **Reply #17 on:** 28 July 2015, 10:34:52 pm »

Yes well I know I was filling up three times to my mates on fazers twice , and we were riding the same speeds etc so I'm glad I'm back on a gen 1 fazer

boxer1 · « **Reply #18 on:** 30 July 2015, 11:39:46 pm »

Got conformation today, the fazer gets delivered on Tuesday :-)

boxer1 · « **Reply #19 on:** 04 August 2015, 10:59:03 pm »

Fazer was delivered today, superb, a few wee jobs to get it as perfect as I like my bikes but apart from that it's a beauty

Will post pics soon, if dry tomorrow I,ll take a wee run out on it, away for a holiday in the highlands thursday for a week with the family so no bike for a week

great to be back on a fazer finally tho
