I bought a 2016 Tuono Factory in the summer and it’s the best road bike I’ve ridden by far. Can’t believe the finish on it either. My only regret was not waiting for the newer model but that may change once the 2019 bike is released. We did the NC500 and although it wants any comfier than a sports bike it was more fun and easier to ride on long journeys. I’ve never really had any isssues with sportsbikes on long journeys yet but that’s maybe because I’m not old enough for a tourer yet
I do miss my Tuono. The 2017 model got quite a few updates but for 2019 it just got electronic Ohlins. There are some great deals on 2018 bikes at the moment.
