When the facts don't pan out... fall back on the intangible

Dress wearing SV owners aren't intangible are they?

I want a twin but all you buggers are confusing me lol

End of the day it matters fuck all what we say,bum in seat and ride is what you need to do.

Spot on man, everyone can crap on all they like, me included, its up to you & what YOU prefer at the end of the day, from what I can see there is no bad choice, just a few dif bikes, no bad decisions.


Enjoy the ride, & by that I mean, the buying process, don't sweet it & take ya time

Correct,but in fairness,out of that list the only TL that has done any real mileage is Mike Fords ie it is top shelf condition but used for normal duties/rallies etc in all weather. .

hahahahaha.....

Fiat Punto vs Corolla GT lol thats a good one.....

Dukes sound and look cooler than Japas

Dude how wrong can you be. The TL is the best sounding, Toughest looking bike on the planet with kick you in the balls performance to boot.

For me this is a no brainer go the mighty TL.

If any body wants to swap one for my srad then give me a shout im keen.

Mine is getting close to 100,000k and going like a charm. Still has the dodgy origonal suspension but considering I came from a 1980 XS100 it feels pretty dam good to me lol

SV650 with a Two Brothers Racing Exhaust more power, sounds awesome can not beat that, bolt on power with no fuel changes.

And why not,had mine for many years and love it to bits.Came close to selling it a few times but just couldnt bear to part with the old girl,ive spent that much money on aftermarket stuff i figure no point in stopping now so its a keeper for sure.

Yep I couldnt part with mine , its done near 110,000kms now and I have not got bored with it yet.
I dont get into to much of this "whats better " stuff because every one has individual tastes and it would be a dull world if everyone wanted a TL.
A quick factiod , the 97 had larger round intake ports that were changed to smaller D shaped ports in 98 to mellow the peakyness of the original engine a little. Bugger all real difference on the road between a 97 TLS and a 01 TLS in my experience.

There is one thing though , I dont know of many bikes that were released 11 years ago that so many people are so passionate about still .
Thats got to say something.
