Yes. It actually makes sense to me because the bigger the vehicle, the slower they are you stop and manuever so it's best to watch out for those guys from a safety perspective. It's so different than in north america where pedestrians will just walk anywhere without really looking first.

Great review. I’ve had the same bike for about a year now. I’ve got the dedicated GPS and cruise control. It’s really a good compromise. Not too heavy, handles well, great mpg. I’ve had ST1100s, St1300, FJR1300s, Ducati Multistrada 1260 and Concours. This is better than all of those, imo.

I love it when riders share how they're getting the most out of their bikes. Thanks for the video! I went from an RSV4 to a Tuono because I wanted something more street-able and agree this bike let's you have your cake and eat it too in terms of being good in the corners while relatively comfortable. FWIW, as a taller rider I feel at home with a couple of mods (taller windscreen, lowered rear sets, higher and more angled handlebar).

I'm so surprised you would say the international license isn't needed. I researched a lot before spending a month in Vietnam riding from north to south. As expected, I was stopped by the cops on the Ha Giang Loop and they specifically based the 2 million dong fine on the fact that my international license did not have the motorbike endorsement.

I am 69 this year ad riding a 2021 Tuono Factory. I am 5'9" and find the Tuono very comfortable for touring. The seat s quite cushy versus my old Triumph Street Triple 765R and versus KTM 890R . I added a Hepco & Becker rear luggage plate that replaces the pillion set or fin. I have different bags I can put on the rear plate so it is very adaptable for different lengths of trips this way. I also have heated grips installed which helps broaden my season and for high mountain passes. I put on about 15,000 km per year, no problem. There is adequate fairing to make high speeds on major highways and the cruise control round out me needs. I have never tried a Tracer but appreciate your info regarding that bike as well.

I have enjoyed your posts and value your opinion. I have 20 years riding the BC roads on vfrs, sv1000, ninja1000sx and a trick vtr1000f which is my favorite to date. I am torn between a bmw1250rs or new standard tuono. Based on your experience and my bike list which would you recommend I try first. Rarely a passenger, weekend trips, BC roads, not a racer but like fast pace and sweepers.
@ChasingtheSunVlog

If you like the twisties as much as me, then you should definitely try the Tuono. I've had over 18 different motorcycles and this is my favorite motorcycle so far. My only knock on it is the lack of wind protection and also cramped position if you're a tall guy. If that is the case the 1250RS will fit you better. I like my 1200RS very much also and surprised how nimble it is. You can see my review here as a sports tourer. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9ws9otAJM44.html
