Chad from what I recall the first TLs where dodgy handling some thing to do with the weird rear suspension set up looked more like a steering box out of an old car!all sorted out now.

check Steves TL pages all you will ever need to know or buy a gladius thingy. regards Gaz

yeh thanx.

read on mcn about the two

says the S, the rear shock had a tablespoon of oil which overheated, and it was strange. when the R is different also has a different chassis. noticed a steering damper. can i still fit bar risers around this etc?

Just goes to show you the insurance companies know jack shit. The SV 1000 is a tame beast as is the Firestorm. If you are going to hurt yourself it will be on the TL1000S. Both TL's are running in standard trim approx 120bhp+ (Add a PC & they go bonkers). The Firestorm is on 104 & the SV is about 110. Treat the TL's with caution.

Yep. A gsxr 600 is more than the 750., just stoopid. Still sv next year

Nice bike the sv1000 chad, my m8 just bought one in rizla colours it looks very smart and sounds like thunder.

Yeh mate has the 650. Like it but I want something bigger next

[haveugot1 0]

A friend just sold a 650 and we dyno jetted it and it still wasn't that quick so like u I would go for the 1000.

My mate has one and loves it. He put a Bitubo shock on it to replace the pants standard one and had a fiddle with the ECU and he can't fault it. And it's a P reg so it's the original S.

ridedn a dodgy hyosung gtr but thats only a baby v-twin so i wont count that. ive ridden a ntv600. didnt faze me but its not a 90 degree one thou.

also ive had many singles. like husqvarna te410, motocross machines etc. they have a hell of an engine break and i loved thouse bikes.
