After owing it for 13 or so years its much loved but a bevel with contis.......fell under the spell when a young fella with an old man that bought an 860/900SS and then another 900SS.The old TL is cool but simply a pretender.

Having a boring but extremely practical and reliable VFR800 in the garage from time to time I wonder if I need a little more excitement in the 2 wheeled dept and the TLS's have always done it for me and its something I have never owned but have had a few v twins in my time... Tried to buy Adam's (Local guy) one but he couldn't part with it..... He told me about your TL...
Although I am sure the Duke is a gem, I find its appeal minimal to me personally. I mean no offense to those who obviously differ in opinion...

Adams TL is nice,always thought it strange he bought another as way back when he had his 1st one (red from memory) he told me he didnt like it,he seems happy enough with the one he has.

Naaa ... sell it to me ... I've always loved those models ... it deserves a peaceful retirement in a warm place - not life in a cold hell ..

The old fella was telling me of when racing against Britten (Wigram i think) on an identical 900SS to the one sold the other day he had the bottom of the kickstart grinding away,ist time he had met him and upon showing him said kickstart Britten said ' no wonder i cant catch you",they went on to become good mates.
