Having two bikes is the way to go. With the Berg and the Tuono your paddock you have the best of both worlds.

Curious to hear what issues or components precipitated your two motor rebuilds. Broken exhaust valve spring at least once?

You are right on there . Only problem is we have had sooooo much rain here lately the Tuono has spent most of its time on paddock stands while my little blue and yellow friend has kept me sane..

Oh and so far original valve springs intact ..Maybe i should not have said that!!!
Cheers
