Cheers,havent had much to do with Buells but have to admit there on my "nice" list.Next time i come across Rashika i will try and beg borrow steal a ride on hers if i can,mind you Buellbabes promised me a ride as well lol.Never liked the TLR at all myself,there only 10kg heavier but look and feel way more,the supposed top end advantage over the S seems a myth to me.ive fitted a pipercross filter and mucked about with a yosh box and fitted a TRE on my old thing and it seems to go pretty well compared to my mates R.

Did I?

Jeez I know I was pissed at the rally but don't remember offering my bike... hmmm... play ya cards right...

hahahahahahaha


BTW, I know I have said it elsewhere on this forum but I will say it again... I really do like your bike and your pics don't do it justice , I reckon its sexier in 'the flesh'.

& to be honest I could never really love the bike like a Buell.
I went from a Buell (Cyclone) to the TLR & I could never get it to handle right even with an ex Honda Race Tech going all over the suspension & having the arse end up graded it was just not for me.
Had to have the Hyabusha clutch put in it at 5000 km as well which was done under warranty?
It went fast but not around corners.
I know 2 people with the TLR & they love it but they are over 6' tall where as I'm just the perfect size of about 5'8" so maybe the bike was just too large for me?
