Tuono factory

Keep coming back to these. A couple of mates are now back on bikes and I still have an itch. I rode a 2019 model with the Ohlins electronic stuf and really enjoyed it. The new model looks more modern but is it worth the premium. A quick scan shows 11-12K vs 16K for new deals? Has it changed that much??

I've had the 16 factory put 17,000 miles on it

Then 19 factory putting just over 20,000 miles

Now on a 21 factory still running in

If I can give advice go Euro 4 17 or newer as it's a better bike than the 15-16 Euro 3

If the budget allows go 19-20 with the electronic suspension. It's nice to have and does work well but it wouldn't be a deal breaker if a really clean 17-18 came about at the right price

The 21 is just more electronic savvy, like the next evolution when jumping from a 16 to a 17

The 21 is also a slightly more comfy ride position with the bars and seat to bars bend

Cheers for that. Does the new tank make much of a difference, looks like it's a lot narrower?

[Birky_41]

For normal riding not really. It's half a litre smaller so being anal I'm finding 5-7 miles less before reserve light

Older ones typically came on about 110ish new one about 105ish

Notice a difference with newer tank if you stand up on the bike doing silly mono stuff but otherwise makes no odds

I’ve got a 19 Factory. It is brilliant. Can’t compare though to the earlier bikes. I can say that it is deals with bumpy roads really well, although not sure if that is the electronic suspension or if the non electronic is just as good.
