So how do you know whether it handles good/bad...?

[A Joke here]If your talking from your short time then thats nothing, I've seen one piccy of you, it must not of done you justice because it looked like you couldn't handle a pencil let alone a TL [/Joke]

It doesnt take much time to realise that they dont handle right. They push wide when you get on the power the throttle is snatchy so you have to be ultra light with it... Not supprising that people had accidents with those two items added together.

No I do have issues handling pencils... They always snap under my lightest touches... just dont know my own strength

Go and try one when you lose the restriction see what you think. If you like it then fair enough, if not then leave it there are easier bikes to make go right.

Yes, yes it does!! I went from a CG125 to the SV, and I didn't change the way I rode... that resulted in a large grin from ear to ear as the front wheel lifted from the floor.

I guess you have to be fat to ride a TL is that what you are saying?

Why are you getting personal now anyway?

No mate i was actuallyt trying to have a joke with you mate. Funny how you can take the **** but as soon as someone says something to you its a different story.

You forget that I had a CBR600 don't you, 100bhp there, not much power off a tl.

Im sorry. Ill amend that post. Im tired and I wasnt sure... Not slept for 48 hours now (night shift last night...) not a great excuse I know.

I do have issues with pensils though lol

Aye you are right might not be far off. Its not the power of the TL thats the problem mate, its the way its controlled and the way it doesnt handle.

The reason I think sticking with the full powered SV is better is because it handles and is fun...

Yeah I see your point mate, will ammend mine too.

I've already thought into consideration about how power is delivered compared to an IL4 so in essence it could be completely different. I did however never come off the CBR and that i spose shows the control I could have over such bike. But as said could be completely different on a TL.

And I don't think I will ever shift the SV now as TBH i missed it when i got rid of the last one. I am trying to get this one like that was, GSX-R forks, TL wheel brakes and clip-ons etc. And then once i do get very bored, maybe it might be time to talk to Dangerous Dave about the SV800

Indeed! Id have one of those bad lads for a laugh.

Dont get me wrong man, I dont have a clue how good you are at riding... so dont take any offence if its sounded like I was putting you down I wasnt!
