V-twin thousand R0AR!

[R6_kid]

Was lucky enough yesterday to spread myself over a brand new black 2005 VTR1000 and take it up from piha, along scenic drive to henderson.

Was a nice change from the crazy little R6, i really love the way you can 'feel' the power, and also just how smooth it rolls on, no need for gear changes if you come to a corner a lil slow etc. I was also really surprised at how light it felt, im assuming its to do with the steering damper on the R6, but this 'big' bike felt little to me.

Went to sleep dreaming of that roaring crack (it had neptunes on it) that it makes as you fire it up and give it a rev :headbang:

Might be my next bike me thinks :mellow:

tristan and john says "oh noes, not a honda!"

very nice bike vvv :niceone:

[Keystone19]

You been busy doing spade work with young vvv have you Gareth?

Nice bike isn't it!

[judgeshock]

The rumble is certainly nice and when you hit the open road it is even better.
After buying big Ds bike i just can't help think to myself how long it will be before i get pulled over for an excessively loud exhaust.

:lol:

I know of a GOOD SP1 if the offer is right :blip:

[S&S]

I agree, that V-Twin Thump & Roar rocks ! :rockon:

[ScumKiller2]

I'm glad you made it from Piha to Henderson on one tankful! :lol:

It's also a very saaaaatisfying noise sitting in [the front of] traffic too. The 600's don't seem to command much attention at idle.....

[Postie]

if you wanna hear a real thunderous roar, you all should try to have a listen to WRT's new pipes on his RSV-R. there not pipes so much as they are rocket launchers or jet engine exhaust's

[DMNTD]

Welcome to the pleasure drone!:2thumbsup
I wouldn't trade it for anything,massively horny "feeling".
WARNING: extremely addictive mate and always remember to take a leak first:hitcher: :blink:
(gotta own a thumper to understand!)

[cowpoos]

v-twins are addictive....

[WRT]

Cheers Postie, glad you approve ;)

Sounds gooooood going thru the underground car park at work now . . . and when riding in traffic, people not only notice, but hurry to get out of your way! Its almost like having an escort up front clearing a path . . . makes you feel like Moses.

Yep, I'e noticed that since getting the SV with it's M4 pipe that people get out of my way quite quickly.





Hmm, could be 'cause they see this dodgy chick on a bike heading straight at them of course...

[Grizz]

I too love the V-Twin roar, my VTR currently has the standard pipes, and are too quiet.

I am in the process of having a pair of aftermarket pipes made by Custom Chambers, they get fitted tomorrow:2thumbsup I should post a before and after soundfile.

[ducatilover]

The 600's don't seem to command much attention at idle..... thats why i have a bros650 with fucked baffles [and the rest of it] the 15 year old moriwaki can sounds mint....but i got it fixed and crashed so not any more lol:angry:

[R6_kid]

whoops, the pipes were micron not neptune :whocares:

yo marmoot, will trade you a straight :whistle: R6 later on next year maybe?

decided i might 'upgrade' to a big twin thumper once i've had some sporty fun on the R6. The torque just makes it so easy to ride out of corners, i found out i'd only been using 2nd and 3rd gear on the VTR today when i took it for another spin... seems to have the exact same power right through into 6th gear :wacko:

welcome to the world of v-twins.....we're always happy for an r6 rider to join....wouldn't mind a vtr 1000 after the bros......hope you get one eh? cant beat the sound, smooth power and torque of a v-twin....definately addictive...:doobey:

WTF you wanna High Abuser for??

[Mr Skid]

WTF you wanna High Abuser for??Too keep up with jsg's momma?

[Grizz]

Here are some sound files (WAV format) of a VTR with modified pipes, not mine but these convinced me I just had to get them done.

[Marmoot]

bwahahaha :rofl:


WTF you wanna High Abuser for??

so I can put an apehanger on it.

Nah bro, got me missus a sore back on the SP1.....sore back = less movement = less satisfaction if you know what I mean :hitcher:

[SlowHand]

does that have anything to do with your sig? Autofellatio?

Anyone know of any cans for Duc Gurl's "new" TL?

[vifferman]

So just imagine how good two v twins together sounds!! V4 :2thumbsup
What?!?
You still raving on about that ugly new bike of yours?
Actually, the VFR (piped, of course) does sound similar to a 996, what with the gear whine and all.
I still miss the sound of a 90-degree V-twin though (although it sounds different from the seat, which is where the VFR sounds better), and that bastage that rides his V-twin Whatever past the office every day at 8:45ish better find another route to work, because it's making me sad. :blank:

[R6_kid]

when i ditched the r6 over coro there were 3 big vtwin thous that went past, could hear them from a mile off, was awesome. got my eye on a cheapish ducati, which if its still around next year i want to re-engine it with a 750 or 900. Otherwise i might save some coin once i got the R6 paid off and get an ex-japan 916 or similar!

[sAsLEX]

lol, was just going to say, why not arrange a ride, v-twin's only, no inline 4's ! :scooter:

some of us have other sorts of V's you know!

[Marmoot]

916 is getting cheap now. The problem is running cost......:blink:

[ducatilover]

gareth d: if you get a 916 i will kill you [and take it for a ride]....lol they are the nicest looking bike ever...[well to my young mind]
i was comparing the tlr with the vtr, statistcally the tlr is better [135hp versus 110 and the tlr has more tourqe too]:doobey: can i take your bike for a ride CP? pleeaaaase...:blip:

[WINJA]

THOSE VTRS ARE RUBBISH , I HEARD THE MOTOR IS JUST A MK1 CAPRI MOTOR WITH 2 CYLINDERS CHOPPED OFF

[N4CR]

Otherwise i might save some coin once i got the R6 paid off and get an ex-japan 916 or similar!

YOU ALWAYS STEAL MY IDEAS. GET LOST!

916 market has dropped out a little... going for 13k or so from Japan. Don't do it, i'm sick of switching 'possible next bikes'

Don't go simply on power when talking about v2.
The whole idea about v2 is handling (compactness) as opposed to power. If you want power, buy a fireblade or an R1 and you'll get the most hp per dollar out there.

Sport V2 is about the flickability, cornering etc, and that's why ducati is the nicest v2 out there.

I just read the TL registry, it's put me off buying one.

when you got the $$$$$ to buy it I'll let you test ride it....and by the way....the tls has better power to weight ratio than TLR...and from what I've experienced at trackdays...is quicker!

[cowpoos]

LMAO...... but how bout you re power it with a Kenworth 16L V8 two stroker with twin turb and supercharger, and finish the young fella off properly and in style :spudbn:

you mean the 16l V12 engine???? thats not a twostroke...and its a cat engine anyway....

When r you gunna get a real V-twin danger...riding around on that fancy italian tractor must be frustrating....well at least your ugly enuff to ride it...lol

its more about traction...you can get a faster turn of speed out of corners when comepared to 4's...get on the gas harder and earliyer...there is a bigger gap in time between power strokes on a v-twin than a four...gives the tire more time to find grip again...[four fires 180-180-180-180...90 degree V-twin fires 360-360...60 degree V-twin fires 240-240...parrel twin fires 270-270]]

if you have the bugs go for a ducati:2thumbsup

I'm going to miss the twin.

Rode a late model GSXR750 today, got sick of changing gears just to get any power out of the fucker.

good point, my bros [before the crash] was extremely nimble and flickable from side too side, very narrow too:yes:

in other words never? dammit i can barely afford to fix the bros650......when its back on the road wanna go for a ride? you'll have to go slow cos i might fall off again!:yes: lol and i'm not a very good rider [yes i admit too it, even though i am sixteen]:banana:

handling is a different story

I beg to differ. It is so much easier to induce power slides on my SP1 than the blade, simply because of the torque around the midrange RPMs. Power delivery of the 4s are normally much smoother than twins due to the fact that (1) you have more RPM to play around, and (2) the torque builds up gradually instead of peaking in the midrange area.

However, sliding or not, the SP1 is so much easier to control than the blade simply because of its width. Because it is so narrow, you can chuck it in left and right very quickly and even when it is sliding it is still very controllable. The fact that the SP1 is 20kg heavier than my 99 blade is totally irrelevant to the reality (which really surprised me).



......and that is also why SP1 won the SBK and TLR couldn't :banana:

No you Heifer turd... I mean 'Kenworth 16L V8 two stroker with twin turb and supercharger' nick named the GemMie as in the donk in the rig below that I used to drive in Brissie.
they also come as a V6

re: that 'fancy italian tractor being frustrating'... hell no it handles better than the VTR did and me ugly........ pot, kettle & black
