Just seein if there is any v-twin super bike owners or fans on here just trying to make small talk....... Have a 99 suzuki tl 1000r and love it

 

Superbikes?

 

A crotch rocket, a sport bike

 

Wouldn't mind owning a Duc 996.

 

Think next bike will be a gsxr 1000 or R1.

 

i had a v-twin before, same as yours, pretty comforty ride position, but when i tried WOT, it was just not that good as Inline 4 i have ridden from. if i can get another bike, still be suzuki, i will consider buying a 750cc.

 

Looking at RC51's and RSV Mille's to get a v-twin to accompany my 954RR. If my budget was a little tighter I wouldn't hesitate to look at TL1000R's as well.

I'm a huge fan, soon to be owner.

 

Well from experience the TL is a lill cheeper then the RC. And from what i have been told the TL has more power and will out handle the RC but like i said thats what i have been told but you cant bet a HONDA!!!!!

 

The TL is cheaper, often significantly. That's because there is less demand for them and TL's sold for 2-3k less than RC's new. That's why I said if I had a tighter budget (less money) I'd consider the TL. The TL and RC's power outputs are about the same. If anyone said the TL can "out handle" the RC you need to stop getting your bike information from them. If you completely replaced the rear stock and re did the internals in the front suspension it would probably be about on par with a stock RC. TL vs RC handling wise isn't even really a fair match stock vs stock.

 

My last 5 street bikes, in reverse chonological order:

'07 KTM Super Duke (current)
'06 Duc Monster S2R 1000
'03 Aprilia Tuono
SP2 RC51 (forgot the year)
SV 650 S (also forgot the year)

So yes, I love v-twins!
