Hi,
can any one tell me the differences between the TL1000s and the new SV1000?
I have always liked the TL1000S and the only thing that put me off was the "tank slapper" scare that really killed it off.
I know that the basic bike is very different it's just that I have heard that the engine in the SV has been made more 'user friendly' and emasculated!
compared to the TL? which has a very exciting power delivery (supposedly)
is this the case?
Thanks
Mick

I used to own an SV650s. Yesterday I got a ride on an TL1000. Your description is accurate. I'm a youthful 46 y.o., and couldn't spend more than 2 hours with that TL, though it was a hilarious experience in "unlivable young-man's hotrod", the likes of which I've never had on a motorcycle. I'm happy with my FJR1300 with the trooper mod on the stock pipes, thank you very much.
