Mate, a 250 to a 1000 is a massive step, particularly if your looking at a TL1000R.

**Sly_guy** · 14th March 2009, 15:31

Amen to that

The step from the 250 to the 900 for me was enough to make me shit a chicken a few times, and that's a placid beastie

Although it's rather somethign that should be discussed over a cold beer,

I support the transition. As had been mentioned, it's all in the wrist.

Perosnally, i've been showing no restraint what-so-ever doing well over 111km/h's (which is supposedly enough to kill you) and that's just on a 750.

Speed still feels the same, you just don't have to rev the tits off it to get there.

Indeed. The biggest thing i'm loving is the fact that she just happily purrs away on the open rd, vs having to work it on the 250. And if i need to pass someone, i can give it a squirt and do it swiftly and much more safely than when i was lacking power.
And is nice and smooth through the corners... not this bucking and skittering the 250 did on the rougher roads.

Treat it with the respect it deserves and you'll be right mate

To put your mind at ease. after doing some pretty intense reading on the net both last night and today the TLR is no longer an option, commuting on it would be a mission.

Well it was a lovely afternoon today, and i felt a little bit sorry for Fizbin all cooped up at home with the wife n kids with us all poking and prodding.
So i threw him on the back of the beastie and took him for a blat up Old North Rd, Peak Rd, and SH16 up to Wellsford. Then back the same way for added funsies

Was a good bit of practice for me carryin a pillion too, my poor bike with 3 people worth of weight on it!

But it held up well, and went like a trooper. Still handles remarkably well, just a little sluggish on the power as compared to normal

Hope that blew some of the cobwebs out mate!
