I like westfields - just don't tell garry - but they don't like me too much esp my poor back. Would live to buy for G as a surprise though

These are only things that make me hum and haw about putting the Tuono on my next bike wish list.

Watch it coming out of roundabouts over bumps, etc, etc. Never ridden one but they have a reputation for kicking in quick and lifting the front wheel real easy off the power, which can be dodgy if your not expecting it - bags of torque!

I've also read the the balancer shaft "completely" smooths out the V60, which if true is good, but a bit of a shame at the same time - is this true? Does it still have the thump thump thump character?

Sorry for so many questions but I'm a big v twin fan and really want to know what these are like.

Thanks
Dude,

Flyscreen is pretty good, can cruise at 90 without too much buffeting and im 5"10, high bars are a dream, i found after about an hour my wrists got sore on the SV but no issues at all with the T, Torque is good and have only done a mini wheelie so far but the potential is there (especially with a 15t up front). Its very smooth and not lumpy like the old T and Millie, id say smoother than the SV1k.

Anyway, thanks for the comments, off to ireland on friday to see hatcho, who's just bought another sv1k!!!!
