As I said my first change of bike was a 58bhp increase. Then I went GSXR and thats ( using published crank figures ) is a 74bhp increase.
So going restircted SV to TL using your BHP figure ( which I believe maybe a little optimisitic but its early and I cant be doing with googling it to find out )
Is a 87bhp increase. Which is 13bhp more than I did. When I swapped to my GSXR I had two years of SV riding under my belt. in Which I racked up about 20K in all weathers. So one could argue that I was at a similar stage in my riding career that Plowsie is.
See what I'm saying ? |
I know what you mean. I still think its better waiting. ha ha.
Though that quote you posted was a little out of context. My career was similar to plowsies, then I did a year on unrestricted SV then moved to the falco, which is a TL without the handling issues so do have exp in a sense (so I read in reviews
).
I suppose its best to go out and get a test ride...
