Twins with better performance than a 97 TL1000S?

[brp]

Been on the look out for a 97 TL1000'S for sometime but getting a decent one been a rare opportunity so far ......

What other options are there that will deliver better performance ? And have a sweet sound like the TL'S ?


Interested in hearing from those that have owned a TL'S but have moved onto something better ......


Cheers

The Reid twins at high school. Now they could perform and they looked good as well. Sweet sounds? You should have heard those girls sing.

TLR
Ducati sportbike *insert model above 700-800cc ish* like 848, 999, 1098, 1199 etc
Ducati other bikes, Multistrada, Hypermotard
KTM RC8, RC8R
Aprilia RSVR (probably the Tuono as well), maybe the RSV Mille

I'm sure I've probably missed some... there are a lot of options...

RC-51.

Buy this one so I am not tempted: I have seen it, it is a minter.

Only Jap option I can think of is the RC51, but how much better it is in reality is a different matter altogether?

I think if you want practicality you buy a VTR1000 fartstorm, but for street cred you need an RC51. Plus you get all the HRC goodies because it is a pukka homologation special

The RC51 is a hellishly tasty bit of kit.
The SP2 was the nicer one to ride wasn't it?
A Fartsorm (even though I like 'em) doesn't compare to a TL really, except in noise "only" 110hp or so.

errr, one of each please

As others have said, better performance, RC51 from the japs, or a number of ducatis foot the bill too.

A tl1000r?

OMG, I'm so sorry to be the one to do this, but that title was just begging for this...

As above, also, SV1000 (faster? certainly newer), as others have said, VTR (inc SP versions)

I also missed out stuff like the BMW boxers.

If you want the performance and like the sound, hell, I'd pick a big bang R1.
