A dyno run for my 1998 Suzuki TL1000R (in the fastest white & blue paint scheme) from sometime in 2005. Should really do it again, I've modded it since then ... no really!
Oh so much torque and how it delivers it is so different ... I rode a bunch of Triumphs at a test ride day ... the Speed Triple is supposed to have more torque and while it is civilized and smooth, the TL just kicks you in the ass and shoves you off and goes! Even the mighty Rocket III didn't give the same thrill.
While you're waiting for you inline to wind up, the freight train is gone! You'll catch me on the back straight though ...

Pull? More like a boot in the bum! IF you can keep the front wheel down :D

Lol...Yeah....yeah....I have had to chase many the v-twin. Just make sure your knee pucks are ready when we get to the first corner!!!!
Torque is so much fun on a bike......something about that gut wrenching pull is just good clean fun!

Buddy in the UK supercharged a TL and got 190bhp out of it on the first dyno run :D

Yeah....I guess I forgot it is not an inline 4....Lot less Hp and more torque.....still a fast bike.

God no! I think it was like 99ps or something ... you've got to go a whole lot further than a few external mods to get 140bhp out of a TL!

What did you get out of it....above 140Hp???
