Not a case of wanting to mate..........was just a surprise to be asked really.....despite all the bits and dollars spent on it it is still what it is.....a 9 year old bike...............anyway regardless ive decided not to so thats that.........

That's better. Must've been a momentary loss of sanity

It's pretty obvious much you enjoy the TL when we see your ugly mug

"Keep the TL" gets my vote.

260 is that all, go mod some more ya southern slowpoke

you did an awesome job on the tl, do it on the SV.

yeah sv - whatever its a girls bike






get the feeling I've seen this thread before

[skidMark]

go with the tl mate

awesome machine

no point modding an sv for the sake of it

at the end of the day tl's look so nice

resist man resist you will regret it honestly

sv is more of a sports tourer than a sportsbike in my view.

Had a mate with an SV, we used to swap over with my VTR1000 a bit. B4 I killed it. He quite liked the VTR for the same reason I didn't like the SV.
Basically you sat 'on' the SV and 'in' the VTR. Bit of a different riding position I didn't like as much. Wasn't huge on grunt but the brakes were better. Over all I'd prefer the VTR because of the riding position. Haven't riden a TL so can't compare.
Wheelies great. He did 2-3 gears. Proper point of balance wheelies I'm talking, not just power lifts. And his rear tyre was worn way off the edges so depends on the rider.
Go for a ride and see if you like it. But I think they took all the character out of the twins after the wild TL & TLR era.
my opinion only!!

There is already another thread on KB for this

Don't do it man. Keep the TL.

In a way power wheelies are what matters because any bike with a talented rider can do balance point wheelies

Since putting the NC30 shock in the RG that has actually lifted the front end a few times, only by a little of course

And the decision to keep the TL was the right one. I remember a TL zooming past me on the motorway and I thought "damn that's a nice bike"
