Just read the Bike magazine review of this bike. They REALLY like it. It's also stupidly cheap for what it is, which is a reasonably quick, fun road bike that will do weekend hooning as well as commuting without any fuss.
My only negative thought was I had a '97 TRX850 which had a similar engine design. It was a decent engine but mine did burn a hell of a lot of oil. That was built nearly 20 years ago though. ____________________ Riding: Does an Audi estate count?

I'm not a fan of twins, I'd definitely prefer the triple. The fact remains it is a tasty looking bike and if that is where you feel your limit is currently then fair play to you
Can't see you crying about it |

They are for the screen, which I have ordered, but the dealer is awaiting stock. I've also ordered the tank bag and clip, and panniers and rails.
I wish the Akrapovič exhausts were available. The one thing I really don't like about the bike is how quiet it is, but I will sort this as soon as a better can is available.

Your opinion is welcome, the great thing about biking is that everyone has different taste and the choice in styling and configuration for what is essential two wheels and an engine on a frame is phenomenal.
I am currently very happy with my purchase, I think I have made the right decision, but I probably wont really know for sure until I get my next bike, which is unlikely to be for a couple of years.

I've only ever had an IL4 - so a twin is a new experience, I am sure in time I will own a triple and whatever other configurations are out there. It's all about experience right? ____________________ Currently Riding: MT-07 Previous: XJ 600 N

I'm very interested in having a go on one, the reviews are good and they're very well priced.
Don't be fooled into thinking all IL4's will be like your XJ, however. There's more to the bike than the engine configuration, for instance you have a 270 degree crank, so it will feel like a V even though it's a parallel twin.
Can I have a go? |
