storm Vs TL1000
storm Vs TL1000
Which do you reckon is faster? I had a TL, i now have a storm, for some reason the storm feels faster even though its down on power!!

Sorry thats a low blow.............. The TL should wipe the floor with a Storm. I personally wouldnt touch one with yours though.

Forget the speed comparison - what about comparing their looks....

No fookin way the TL is slower, even when geaboxes give up! The TL is a lot less comfortable, and a lot more extreme.
Re: storm Vs TL1000
Had both and preferred each for different reasons. Overall I thought the VTR was the better bike-but the TL would pummel it in a straight line
The TL engine (what year was yours bm?) was better than the VTR's for free revving power. The VTR's is thumpier/gruntier and better in some respects for lazy road riding.
I also like the looks of the TLS FS-looked like a punched up VTR
The TLR was a different kettle of fish.
Mellis has had a stinker
I would'nt have one again unless it was bargain basement price and in the right nick. TLS's will be a future classic-the early reg full power models anyway.
