Budget V-twin group test

poor front wheel at 03:25

[wafudel]

Have you ever ridden a full power TLS? Obviously not, the R is a pussy cat in comparison.

[opmike343]

@wafudel

That makes a TLR a pussycat compared to the TLS?

[b3rni69]

why you've taken tl1000s instead of tl1000r ? Aprilla is in the sportsbike grup like tl1000r but S version is in tourer gruop, so comparing that bikes is pointless.

[mihaystar1]

sweet england , not for the accent , not for the left side road , just be cause the rain

[pencon61]

TL1000 all the way , fix a few issues suspension pipes remap and it totally rocks! I know, I have one :)

[bassistmatt]

oh fuck a TL....... hope the seat allows room for the required oversize knackers! sounds awesome! V Twins forever FSF!

[IP1NKYI]

Why look for standard exhausts? Most bikes will have an Aftermarket exhaust, and if not you will probably end up fitting one yourself anyway.

[duckgeezer]

why has EVERY single MCN video got crap sound.

[jumpedupmofo]

Buy the aprilia, its sexy, fast and sounds like thunder.

TL100s looks like its retarded and the honda is a tourer.

[pencon61]

Do some suspension mods and a ride height adjuster , airbox mods on the TL and it TOTALLY ROCKS! Oh and full Yosh system ..I've had mine since 02 and It's still a riot every time . Nothing sounds better

[pencon61]

The TL easily sounds the best out of these bikes hands down .. I have one so I'm biased

[WhiteLineRacer]

I've owned both these bikes at the same time and in perfect nick.

I still own the TL...

The Mille is more nimble but the engine is nothing compared to the TL1000s.

The TL is also far more comfy. So for me the Mille had to go and the TL stayed and got more mods done.

Having said that thay are both lovely bikes.

About the Honda.... erm, well, it's a bit bland.

[odiewan67]

Ah, the Mille is great. It's a big bike but it's great. I have a Mille R and the R bits really make it stand out, especially the OZ wheels. easier to turn than my SV. Go, Mille, go

[russybignuts]

If anyone here wants to buy a good RSV Mille check out my eBay item number 310177526904 . Cheer's !

[Motobias]

sound in the beginning was awful...

please make sure you USE the mic !

level down the camera mic next time while you use the hand mic...

[declangaelic]

lucky you didn't pop a fork seal on the first wheelie, shocking bad.

the lad with the white leather has a nice riding style for the wet though, and the lads in the textiles look like horrendous pilots in the wet

[vtwinlunatic]

Ive got a Mille and used to have the VTR and Ive gotta say the Aprilia kicks its arse in every way (apart from comfort) It handles miles better, doesnt bottom its forks out... has good ground clearance, is reliable (the fireyawn popped out oil seals) the RSV is quicker and indeed more economical let alone a bigger tank.. Looks loads better too, people comment on the bike whereas the Honda is a bit bland.. Almost bought a TL a couple of times but saw sense :-) All are a lot of bike for the cash!

[MSTC81]

What about the fact that the vtr takes about 7 litres of gas on 100km?? AND

If you like the suzuki's engine, just go for another bike: SV1000 S. Also quite cheap as it is not produced any more!

[s1914]

Ah my Priller....... Happy days :)

[funty3000]

i had the sp1, cracker of a bike i now have a zx 636 and really miss the v twin torque.

[iamthefatstig]

I've owned all three and several of the 916 model.

The Aprilia was actually the most reliable. My Honda shat its cam chain and spat me off, The TL was reliable but the finnish was very poor.

[e30m3izzle]

tl100 is like 4 thousand pounds and is incredibly unreliable

[rsv1000tomzek]

@all ppl slagging off RSV - take one for a spin, do short shift and crack the throttle open in 2nd gear. job done, you've just fell in love.

[alan4391]

honda all the way for me aprila are crap

[PedtheFox]

Aprilia...

...but the RS250!

[SakuraUK]

I'll pass, I like reliability thanks

[sawzall666]

sweet TL100s is gr8

[DinosaursOnceRuled]

1500£ for a firestorm ? -_-

In denmark the absolute cheapest Firestorm I can find is a 97´ that costs 7566£

Lovely vehicle-taxes -_-

[2wheels2fast]

next season im getting either rsv (leaning towards)

99 R1

or a streetfighter

[ShamanWS6]

I promise you, you won't regret the RSV or a Tuono. They are just so much fun to ride and have such a presence about them.

[joonsuk88]

The TL is just as much fun to ride. But the added bonus of riding an Aprilia is just psychological. You know it's more exclusive therefore you cherish the ride more. That's not having soul, or "presence" as you put it. That's human discernment. They're all machines let's not personify them.

[JapseyeOgri]

The RSVs, with or without steering dampers, have a lot less tendency to tank slap the rider into oblivion though };-)) But the TLs certainly had a really strong engine, as standard, AND they can be bored out considerably more than the Rotax 990s.

Used to do some track stuff with a mate on his TL1000, me on a 2000 model Mille, and the Mille definitely has the edge on braking, entry, mid corner and exit, just from weight difference, but the TL was gaining ground by the end of the straights

[JapseyeOgri]

Hahaha,

suppose I should maybe have watched the video before, probably deciding on not, commenting }:-))

NO!!! Don't get a Mille. They're shite!! Slow, handle like barges and fall to pieces };-))

[shauncarlpope33]

the hat makes you look like a smurf

[misterwipedown]

He didn't need help with the hat.

[daporkchopexpress]

Aprilia FTW!!

[staryjanek]

eh can you speak up ????

[cbr900RR1977]

Dude getting a sound engineer wouldn't hurt idd.

[hzsurfer]

I wish my dad saw this when he bought a motorcycle for me : / i got a street legal trail bike but im really looking for a sport bike : /

[IgWannA2]

sell?

[ElitePower]

Give your bike a chance. I've got a a KLX 250 and it's a lot of fun on the road and can go places that a sport bike can't

[Buttmunch5000]

its not credit crunch

its Mon£yGeddon !

[IgWannA2]

charlie brooker ftw

[Haponja]

RSV in same class with sport-touring bikes? make no sense

Falco would be better to compare

[IgWannA2]

no SV650? shocking

[newengland72]

Your sound quality is consistently the worst aspect of your production.

[XLDoubleDouble]

Or find a place indoors to do these talk abouts.

[ROCKGUDEN]

are you kidding me with the sound or what?

[GIJoeBob]

Please buy a wireless microphone and use it. The videos would be so much better.
