The only good triple is a Westmalle triple!!!!

all this ridiculous bragging about who's bike is better, did anyone watch the video? How cool would it be to actually be able to race at a track on any bike?!!! How many people actually get to do that? Great video

Are those sintered pads? My bikes sounded like that since i fitted them and i love it!

I have a 97 TL1000s and my bike beat 2 RC51s at our local track Dyno day . I have a Yosh Pipe and Airbox mods and the RCs had aftermakret cans . Anyway one I beat by only .8 of a bhp and the other one I beat by 1.2 bhp .

took my tlr to knockhill trackday in Scotland last year, and what a laugh, the tl isn't as bad a people think? ok.... the rear shock is guf, but if you know yer bikes character then you'll know the limit of it, and I was surprised how good it was against 2009.2010 R1's and blades. amen ; )

@Lee7887 Yeah, on the bumpy bits (stock) it's evil especially accelerating hard out of any corner where the front will shake it's head badly when it gets light. A good damper helps but I ride my Tiller hard so have the damper on max all the time. On the smooth stuff it handles very sweetly and feels much lighter than it is. The torque is awesome and don't let anyone compare it to any other twin; it revs so fast and high and keeps making power right up until the limiter.It's as fun as my R1

Agree with Hondaman,reminds me of 2000 when i chased a TL1000R up the motorway on my then ZX-9R C1,i had no answer to his acceleration,i found myself slamming the gears down to build up the revs while the geezer just pulled the throttle back,i was watching his body language and didn't see him change gear,i thought then,'i want one of those'!!

@duude345 : Sorry dude but i don't think you know where you're talking about, do you even have a bike? What bike do you drive?? I'm the guy on the kawasaki and i was wandering if we could meet on a track, no bullshit just driving our bikes? That would be cool, and we upload the movie on you tube! LOL

@zx6rluke: I could have take the TL on several occasions but yeah, then i wouldn't have him on video :-)

And it's allowed to overtake at our trackdays...

What people seem to forget is, it;s not what you ride but how you ride it, I have a 2001 SP-1 (132bhp) and a mate hasa GSXR750K9 (148bhp) and he always has a hard job staying with me down the twisties, i'm not saying i'm Barry Sheen reincarnated but you have to know how to get the best from your bike, and the guy on te TL obviously does, plus a big twin has loads of torque and yopu need to work a 4 harder to make ground.... simples

[Stefan2daLamb]

Hell ya good shit with the tl I ride a 05 rc51 and they are similar and fun as hell god I love the torque of the v-twin and most say they are not flickable but I can romp on some twisties. Good riding on both parts. Oh if you can't prove you can do better than don't say they're not good.

@zx6rluke I was meaning give the thing a rev while changing down. He just lets the revs drop right down and lets the clutch out it sounds horrible ya noob.

Much smoother if the revs match the speed yer doing or a bit more as the clutch is let out.
