He said he didn't like them Yogi, magic mentioned about acceleration.

Have to agree with Fido. I don't like the lack of revs and the engine braking on a sporty twin. They just feel agricultural


 :shock: Lack of engine braking  :shock: Fook me Andy have you ridden a big twin?

Why,s that dude? is it the lack of acceleration? :icon_scratch:

Have never liked V twins as supersportsbikes



 :iamwithstupid: i just dont like the power delivery, but the feeling is nice, but still prefer the 3 cylynder motors also yogi the tlr Is a nice bike pretty quick etc but a friend of mine had one when the rest of us had r1's 10r's blades etc and it just couldnt compete(we where all pretty much the same standard riders)

Hello Scottie....never said a TLR could compete against a 10R or equivalent in outright performance,thats what prompted me to trade up in the first place!Even with equal riders but as we all know put a good rider on an underdog and an average on an R1,etc then its down to the rider!
All i was saying is the TLR is a good sports bike and weel capable of keeping up with bigger bikes and more than fast enough for the road!!

Thats why I dont like them too.

Had a TL 1000S for a few days whilst my old gixxer was in for some work.  First impressions were I quite liked it. But after a couple of days wanted the gixxer back.

Didnt like the feel of it, vibey and as rininja says agricultural

I am well aware there are guys oout there on tlr's way faster on the road or round the track than me, i was merely pointing out that an individual will lose their licence a little bit quiker on the 4's but the guy on the tlr will loose his licence half a second l8r

As you quite rightly point out for the non gp riders of us we are the limiting factor in speed not the bike :)

Of course. A gixer 750 can easily leave a litre four trailing in its wake

Sorry to keep flying the Ducati flag on a 10r forum, but am happy to report that the old tractor Desmo engines are prehistoric compared to the testastretta engines now. :headbang: ( think ZX10r Bob may back me up) as his quarter mile fly bye,s are a thing of the past. [rofl] [rofl] It,s true the saying about V Twins..... you luv `em or hate em..Soooo glad they,ve finally made one that,s fast in a straight line too. :hello2:
