TL1000R
why whats the point fatter, slower, crapper than the TL-S. Fizz, i disagree about the SP1. I love them, whenever i see one i have to watch it, i have to listen to it, i have to let it remind me about all those WSBK races, all those moments....and that fantastic final round clash with edwards and bayliss at imola (ok, ok, that was SP2...but they look to same, so the memory is still relived). I love the fact its a HRC machine, not just rolled off the commoner fireblade factory floor. It shares pedigree with the RC30, the RC45. Which brings me onto the NC35. its the RC45 for people who cant afford RC45's. Its got more than enough power, it sounds awesome, it looks great. i'd like one, but i'd prefer an NC30, because i want an RC30 but cant afford one Last edited by Alpinestarhero; 23-06-09 at 02:30 PM. |

Go on then - I'll bite
![]() TLS I get the big twin thing. But why a TLS, it just looks like a big curvey SV, all the ones I looked at in my eyes had the potential to turn into a money pit very quickly and I'd want the rear suspension sorting out properly which = cost. Thats why its great - it looks like a curvy SV ![]() SP1 Again the big twin thing I get, but I'm kinda averse to spending money on something that then needs a the fueling setting up properly and has a tiny tank range. Agreed here - too track focussed for the road for me. 848 / 1098 / 1198 Dont get this either, looks like a jap bike and looks very cheaply made i.e. quality of plastics etc etc, and the fact it looks like Mr Blobby has done the welding on the swing arrm, sure as eggs are eggs I'd not want to buy a Duke with a wet clutch either. Drop dead gorgeous looks, styled with function and form in harmony, fantastic engines and only the 848 has a wet clutch (so I read) - not sure I would want one as a road bike but still - I "get" them which is the point of this thread ![]() VFR, RVF ( NC30, NC35 ) 10, 15 year old bikes, b*stard to service, cost a fortune to buy as demand keeps 2nd hand prices high. Has no more performance than an SV and the one I rode ( NC35 ) didnt handle any better ( well felt like that to me ) than my Curvey SV did. There is just something cool I think about a little 400cc sports bike - all the glamour of a bigger bike but just miniturised - they look great - keep them on the boil and they go fast enough to enjoy thrashing them on the road and they do handle well. Yes in certain areas they can be a pain to service (so I have heard) but thats a small price to pay. Plus with the prices as they are you will never really lose money on one. Best I could do! ![]() ![]() ![]()

Eg, a WSS 600 bike has around 145 bhp which is around 65-70% of the WSBK bhp (around 215bhp) A CBR600RR has around 100bhp compared to the 170bhp odd of the Blade (less than 60% of the power). Sorry for geeky answer ![]() |

TL1000r I would have in the blink of an eye, its not "refined" power delivery is not smooth, riding position isn't great but is still better than my sv. . . . BUT that engine, frame etc
loved the one i rode. What I would never buy again is an aprillia - its just fell apart! |

Now I've got a VFR, bikes I don't really 'get' are pretty much all the others
