Sorry, I guess it came out bad
Don't get me wrong, I loved my SDR, but you can have a 1000cc V-Twin TL trackbike aswell as a TL road bike and still have some change in your pocket
They are a great bike, like the TL they have some quirks. Drop in on www.superduke.net, I'm a member there aswell |

Sweet bike. I would guess they handle better once properly set up than a TLS? Sam?

Once you get used to the high seat position they handle very well, takes a bit to get your knees down
The long swingarm makes the bike very stable and helps a lot to keep the front wheel down on heavy acceleration. Not quite got the power of the TL but quite revvy which is fun.
The brembo front brakes on mine felt a bit wooden for radials but that could of been down to the pads.
I still have a few spare front/rear sprockets and a spare radiator......... |

Yeah but the TL brakes in frame, the electrics are shite, the suspension is naff, the gauges are crap and worse - it's starting to look real dated  just like the wife, but I still love her ... I guess ...
