kk will do....

was on a rideout up llamgollen and the ponderosa.. and we had a go on each others bikes on a private car park...

actually a triumph speed triple- was nice too.. but I liked the R6..

seems soo soo diff an IL4.. - dare I say felt like - " a proper bike"..

unless I get a big loan and go for a new cbr rr

I'd have to agree with Quiff and I HAVE ridden a TLS before.

The GSXR600K4 gave me a WAAAAAAAAY bigger thrill than the TLS ever did. In fact every time I've ridden an IL4 I've enjoyed riding the bike where as both twins I have ridden are just well.... boring.

I'd imagine the thrill on the R6 is the same as the GSXR.

Which variety???

the 98-02 pre injection one
the 03-05 injected
the new style 06 one (or an 06 plate 03-05 model R6 as they are running 2 varieties for 06)

I knew it would have been cooler to buy an IL4!!!!

Still, nothing beats the sound of a twin on the over-run in a tunnel....

Fun aren't they! Only thing I didnt like so much is the way they go mental at 10k, I'm such a pansy.
