Hmm well the Toulon 1000 sure looks a lot more comfortable :z - 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

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 .


Re: back to a fazer 1000 - bobdog - 26-07-15

yeah you dont buy a tuono for economy biking  Smile


Re: back to a fazer 1000 - stevierst - 26-07-15

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 :-[:-[


Re: back to a fazer 1000 - bobdog - 26-07-15

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.  Smile


Re: back to a fazer 1000 - boxer1 - 26-07-15

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


Re: back to a fazer 1000 - bobdog - 26-07-15

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


Re: back to a fazer 1000 - boxer1 - 26-07-15

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


Re: back to a fazer 1000 - boxer1 - 27-07-15

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  :evil  Going to be a long week  :lol


Re: back to a fazer 1000 - bobdog - 28-07-15

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 Smile


Re: back to a fazer 1000 - boxer1 - 28-07-15

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  :evil :lol


Re: back to a fazer 1000 - boxer1 - 30-07-15

Re: back to a fazer 1000 - boxer1 - 04-08-15
