    LOL...yeah, doing that on the Hornet is fun.....apparently. Cheers for the advice. Was keen to see what you were going to say

    As for you Darkman...if that is your real name...I'll see you on the roads!!!

    Do Motomart still have the demo Tuono? If they do take it for a spin. I thought it was ok, but it didn't really do it for me.
    Rode the RSV over the same road on the same day, no comparison. The RSV had the grin factor in spades and damn they look hot.

    As I am sure you know, riding a bike is the best way to know if its right for you. If you haven't ridden a TL, I can see three on Bike point (New Plymouth, Hastings and Hamilton) and one on TradeMe (Tokoroa). Sounds like a good excuse for a little road trip.

    Agreed.

    Though sometimes, we buy the latest because of the quality of the ride, not because of what it can do. For me, the 10 just makes the whole ride a lot more pleasurable... Better suspension, wind protection, easy to ride due to torque, etc...

    Guess I have a target on my back now

    Edit... This is more out of guilt for selling the Z, than justifying having the 10, lol...

    Well...I know I'd be quicker on a GSXR750/1000, but for me its not about power etc...its about sensation and handling. I get a hell of a buzz on that Aprilia even when I'm blasting past a truck! ....cor that sound!

    Too right bro! The prilla will empty your skyrocket quicker than "so how long will those parts be??" in italian... ha
    The Tl is a way better option, especially comfort wise.

    I certainly enjoy riding my TL (hmmm.. though at the moment I've got a slight broken mount problem).. Definately not the fastest guy out there, but I ride to my limits pushing it now and then.. made a few mistakes and the TL has forgiven me for them.. can't compare to any other VTwins though (yet) but its what rocks your boat... take 'em for a ride and decide from that.
    You can't fight sleep.. if you feel tired, stop and rest!

    Another vote for the RSV.

    Of course, an adult would be saying "ride them both" blah blah blah but from what even I know of TL's I think you should get the RSV.

    What's up with naked's anyway? Is it the wind, or touring being a bit of a battle, or a feeling you could "go faster" on a sprotsbike?

    I also think you'd be shooting yourself squarely in the foot if you bought another bike without taking a Daytona 675 out for a thrash first. It's not the Triumph fanboy speaking here, but it made me grin like a nutter
