Im personally glad you arnt going up to a TL yet and Im glad you will be riding a full power SV for the time being. Im sure you will enjoy the extra power and you will gain some (imo) valuable exp from that extra power. Have fun with it!

Take care.

I know I'm a little late coming to this thread, but Filipe is obviously too busy these days. So...



Carry on... I'm here all night & could do with some entertainment.

Fair point there love, but you have to admit that when ever you see anybody on a TL they are alone, that because in the process of impressing the opposite sex they invariably lose them off the back.

OK question

Is it the TL that fosters this impression of hooliganism. If we were talking about a different Litre Twin. Say an SV thou would that be different. Yes I know it has less power than a TLS but its IIRC somewhere in the region of 10 - 15 bhp isnt it ( happy to be corrected on this ) Does it really make that much difference ?

Girth has an SV Thou on 33bhp restrictors when he de-restricts what would the advice be then

"sell it because its got to much power and ride around on a full power SV650"

Is it the TL or is it the reputation, or purely is whats been said based on opinions of somebodies riding who we have no experience of.

Why did I not receive similar comments when I bought my GSXR at that point very few people knew my riding. I might have a multitude of off's and just not posted about it, we've all done stupid stuff in the past. Not many of you knew my riding when I bought that bike. You didnt know my riding history either I could have had a multitude of accidents and just not posted about it.

I like it on my soapbox
