like that you also know ah...

 

I believe this round, the "queue" waiting time will be "tan-ku-ku" as this bike is a "beauty". I can only tell more later, but reading from post by Mr Magoo, WillimaLee, MS and Angelus the Fuoco seem to be a bike for keeps.

1st hand news.

 

Left 3 units Fuoco available as at 08th July 2010.

Only Red available in this shipment. The new Rosso Dragon, Not Rosso Cherry.

 

[williamleesg]

[NiteKidz]

[Guest chaochao]

Here you go... only show "backside"

Cam cannot capture the "dragon" effect... it is nicer looking than in the pic

[williamleesg]

nice, hope u get ur bike real soon..

[lacrux]

Roughly how much is a Fuoco OTR these days? Very tempted to get one after getting class 2... dreaming between a Red Fuoco or Black Honda DN-01...

 

Currently riding 125cc mp3 nia... never too early to dream!

[williamleesg]

hmm.. i think OTR should be around 14k i guess.. i believe Honda DN-01 will definitely cost alot more..

[Guest chaochao]

OTR should be above 14K depending on insurance.

 

Lacrux, do read up more on DN-01. If you do not intend to keep such concept bike for long, you may wish to consider something else as resale of such uncommon bikes may be difficult.

Finally pushed out my very own Fuoco!

 

First Ride.... is out of the shop of course. Headed straight to Esso.

 

Guess what > I scrapped the mainstand on my first left bank to a corner! (did it like a two-wheeler sports bike style).

 

What's more scary - after refuelling, I throttle after releasing the "suspension lock" and one of the wheel mounted up the kerb when I turned! Almost topple over! I forgot there's an extra wheel in front!

 

OK - I have to admit - I was mimicking those Fuoco riders in youtube and presume it is easy to ride

 

There'll be lots to get used to on the Rosso Dragon-red Fuoco. First foremost - running-in (recommended RPM?).

 

My Fuoco's underseat locking mechanism is extrememly difficult to lock. Probably have to go down to agent to rectify.

 

This is about all I can comment after a 10KM ride... look out for more updates!

[williamleesg]

Congrats on getting your fuoco.. mi too, scrap both my left and right side of my main stand on my first day on my ride.. cannot bank down too low on this bike.. haha..

enjoy ur ride..

[Guest chaochao]

Thanks William and for your advice given prior to my purchase.

 

Scooter's quite an attention-grabber!!

 

Still learning how to stop and engage the suspension lock without putting the foot down. Two occassions I stopped with the handle bar tiltled and the bike leaned to the side. I was so terrified that it may topple over and stood both legs on ground to support it.

 

The bike did not move even I flick the switch to unlock the suspension or open throttle! Then I remembered about the "butt sensor". Embarrasing!

 

Will the bike topple to the side if being locked with the handle bar turned slightly to either side?

 

Something of an inconvenience - when I locked the suspension and turn off the engine, it stays locked. Pushing the bike with suspension locked is difficult. I've to turn on the ignition, flick the suspension lock switch to unlock and turn off the ignition.

 

However, putting the Fuoco on mainstand is as easy as doing it on a Wave!
