The post about me not feeling confident was after an off and I'm certainly a lot more confident on it. I know the risks etc, I'm not gonna go out and bust myself up and think I'm a moto GP rider straight away, thats just stupid. I'm not definately thinking of getting one. The only thing that is putting me off is what YC said and also similar to Ady, problems around town. We'll see. |

Are you both (YC & Plowsie) still limited? If you are then wait till you get the power in the SV, the TL wont handle very well in comparison to the SV I can almost guarentee. No not ridden a TL, but they arnt known for great turning ability. Problem when you get a nice bike and get confident with it you have things happen like what happened to me where you get over confident and dont slow down when you should, then things can happen that shouldnt ![]() ![]() |

Yes still restricted, I'll get one when it suits. SV is quick enough to spank the big bikes anyway.

I can see it now, CBR1000RR vs C90, the C90 has a much better turning circle than the Blade...No **** ![]() I see what your getting at Greek, problem is, till people have ridden one and even magazines, a bike isn't built to suit every rider is it? It can be suited more to one than the another. TBH the rumours of what they are like aren't gonna stop me riding one, or getting one. Do we all stop riding bikes cos of the horror stories? Nope. |

Hey a C90 is a dangerous tankslappering beast too.

Man I didnt realise you were when we went out on the catherine wheel ride out. That explains some things... I noticed out of the corners your bike was sluggish and tended to just make more noise when the throttle was open. LOL. ![]() As for getting a TL you really shouldnt think about it till you have experianced the full power SV imo. You will be happy with that for at least a little while and if you feel you need more then start thinking about it. ![]() |
