i was comparing the tlr with the vtr, statistcally the tlr is better [135hp versus 110 and the tlr has more tourqe too]

can i take your bike for a ride CP? pleeaaaase...

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.

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!

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]]

handling is a different story

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

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
