what is every ones opinion on the tlr?? my dad reckons its ok but would rather a old urban tiger blade ???

surely he is mad the tlr sounds amazing with the quills and the powercomand(or what ever the thing is called that takes the rev limiter away)

what peoples views on a tlr vs a naked fireblade?

TL1000r is the faired bike and the TL1000s is the naked one Wink

A couple of friends of mine have TL1000S's and they seem to like them a lot. Loud as anything and they do turn a few heads.

I've only ridden the TL1000S around a roundabout and it was so so. Nothing amazing but nothing bad. But then again I'm not a big fan of v-twins.

I do think the TL1000S with the half fairing looks a lot nicer then the 'R' version. Don't know why but to me it has a bit more character to it.

Personally I would go for the Blade rather then the TL.

Maybe he is just as you say, bored of it? Maybe the Blade has more character, maybe it's more involving to ride? Maybe you should just ask him yourself?

A beautiful looking thing, unfortunately about as long as Hertfordshire. There was a bloke used to race one in the EMRA series....... we used to call him 'the mobile roadblock'. My mate still has one, and he still loves it, largely cos he's a tart and it is a very pretty bike, but even my Blackbird corners better........ with luggage...... and the Mrs on the back..... when I'm tired......and drunk....... Laughing

(Ok I may have exaggerated a bit)

Powercommander lets you have custom fuelling maps, smoothing the power delivery, and occasionally gaining more.

You're mostly talking about a TRE, timing retard eliminator. The bikes are 'restricted' not to make them slow, to make the power more managable.

P.S get a hair cut Very Happy
