Re: Hello! New to forum. Sell VTR ownership to me!!

Cheers AMC. You're right about the built quality issue, especially the wiring on the suzuki, it was shocking! I loved the power band on the TL, as a 2-stroke fan. It was like an old LC but at 100mph faster!! It was really marked and would bring the front wheel up at up to 80mph if you weren't puttin...

It had been stood in a garage, so apart from the battery being on its last legs it was fine.

Re: Hello! New to forum. Sell VTR ownership to me!!

Re: Hello! New to forum. Sell VTR ownership to me!!

One thing I have noticed from watching several on-line videos is the exhaust note. Regardless of what system was fitted they just didn't sound as growly and angry as a TL. Its definately the sound of a v-twin but with no oomph! I could see this becoming an issue now I'm used to the TL with yoshi sys...

Re: Hello! New to forum. Sell VTR ownership to me!!

A cash flow problem, I needed a large sum of cash immediately d=because of a 5 week delay being paid. Utterly gutted, I had absolutely no intention of selling it but I had bills, rent, standing orders etc needed clearing. (Needless to say I am not happy with the agency that has not paid me. Anyway, ...

Re: Hello! New to forum. Sell VTR ownership to me!!

How fettled was the TL ? I've ridden a few times against TL's and there's nothing in it, my Storms have all had end cans and my first one had dynojet/filter. The TL feels more instant or abrupt whichever you want to call it but both bikes performe similar regardless of what power outputs are suppos...

Hello! New to forum. Sell VTR ownership to me!!

Due to financial problems Ive just had to sell my TL1000s. It was an awesome bike and Im heartbroken. I will be after another bike in a month or so and if i could buy my TL back I would in a flash! I'm toying with the idea of a VTR as they are available pretty cheaply and have a big V-twin which Ive...
