But most of them are old/knackered/crashed now. In fact any naked TL will have been crashed

There is a bloke I work with who has a TL and an SV1000 naked. He has been riding for years. Recently asked him whihc is better and he honestly said, the SV. The TL is great he said, but in small doses. Whereas the SV he said he can ride all day, has comfort bars fitted & a nice gel seat.

His main issue with the TL is that in anything but nice hot days, you find yourself fighting with the bike.....ie having to be really really careful with the throttle and lean angles etc.

I'm sure many people will say differently.....but they were his thoughts.

That is the attraction for some people Drew.

Go for it Dave, Mototech used to have a naked one, and I think his was an S model at first, Mr UKI has one also.
