Re: I'm Buying a new bike tomorrow...

Welcome to the club numbers - The blues look nicer in the flesh as its hard to pick up the depth in the paint. The Mivv cans look nice - but check the dyno's on them as from memory the shorter cans loose BHP - at least it was happening to the guys that were cutting down the cored cans. Something to do with a reduction in back-pressure with the shorter cans messing up the flow rates??? Maybe with the baffle in it would fix it...

could never understand why that is? surely the pigmnents in the paint cost more for a blue bike than a base coat silver ? what was the price difference?

the blue is fantastic in the flesh, i loved it the moment i saw it, im tempted to get a baglux cover but fear it would remove the whole point of getting a shiney bike!!

the Mivv cans claim to boost HP by 1 or 2 bhp dependant on the type of can, but its more for the sound and look I am after, as i think 130+ bhp will be more than enough for me.

Do you know anyone who has fitted a scotoiler? i really rate them and hate spraying chain lube all over the rest of the bike, and intend to use mine every day?? The do a fitting kit so i guess its possible!!

its simply because the blue is an 07 colour being carried over to 08, ut the silver is an 08 colour thats new for 08.

thats all, :D

Re: I'm Buying a new bike tomorrow...

numbers are you going to come on any of the PM rideouts? Would like to chat with you about the bike once youve had chance to run it in.

Re: I'm Buying a new bike tomorrow...

Incidentally, could anyone tell me what the wind protection is like from the new Tuono against a pointy?
