    The TL1000R looks like a very nice bike.

    I've Had my TL1000s for 11 years and can say that its fine to pillion with, its cheaper and more reliable than a Ducati, and far better than the SV (In my own opinion).
    Although modding it has left me broke and in the dog box with the missus. But ya get that on the big jobs.
    If you were to go down the TL1000 road I would suggest looking for one that has the rear suspension upgraded already as its not cheap and the OEM setup is completely useless
    Happy shopping!!

    900ss is a good bike to progress to. (was my first big bike many years ago. I had a full faired version...in red of course) Plenty powerful, without being frightening. The 2 valve engines are pretty sorted. Comfy for the pillion too.

    X 2 particularly the later injected versions. There's a lot of crap written about Ducati's being unreliable, mostly I suspect by people who have never owned one or have been unfortunate enough to own one that somebody has fucked about with.
    Personally I've owned several from old bevel drives to newer 4v superbikes and never experienced this alledged unreliability, neither for that matter have any of my friends who own them.
    There's a cost to servicing them, but it's not a lot different from many other brands and the 2V motors are pretty simple really, easy to work on if you have some basic skills.

    Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that, who cares? ...He's a mile away and you've got his shoes

    I'd just look to see what is available for the money you have to spend and go from there.

    If you are wanting a good two-up bike, then perhaps you should be looking at a sports/tourer instead of a straight up sports bike.

    Good luck with your decision
