How do you find the handling on the TL. I rode my mates a couple of times and it nearly killed me. Seemed like it wouldn't turn in and when it did it was a bastard to pick back up again. He said he didn't have a problem and that it was always like that. We put a little more tire pressure in it and this helped a bit but it still felt like it had a mind of its own.
Great power delivery from that awsome donk!
I love the bike,mate.I don't think I'll ever sell it.Quote:

I had a track day at Barbagallo on Sunday and had an absolute ball!!!
The TLR makes a better roadbike than a trackbike though,and they sure do stand out in the crowd.:yup:

Got the same engine in the Cagiva although only the S spec, single port heads and cams are the only difference I believe. Fell in love on the first ride!
Jeffsy that is EXACTLY what i am after right now.. Very nice bike mate.Quote:

Just got my license back after a 15 year rest from bikes. Bought a new Kawasaki GPX 250R a month ago and am very happy with the little fella. Goes well and is obiviously ridiculously good on the juice. Intend giving it to my son next year and getting myself a Honda CB 1200 or something similar. Nothing like being on 2 wheels again!!
Amen to that!! I went a year without a bike and the feeling on getting back on one again was :smilesandbanana: Don't think I will ever be without one again if I can help it. Enjoy it! :xmas:Quote:

One question. Being riding dirt bikes for 10 years, never touched a decent sports road bike before. As I'm getting older and with the drought making group rides not as fun anymore I'm thinking of throwing the leg over to the asphalt.
What bike and where should I start?
That is a question with many variables. Size, brand, style, colour...the list goes on. Everyone will tell you how good their bike is, and they probably have some merit to them all. Final decision...
Test rides, magazines, talk to people with a variety of bikes...it's yours to make!
Good luck, there's a lot out there :yup:
