Guess it all depends on who you speak to. Well, I sold the TLR and picked up a brand new (zero miles) 2002 Honda CBR 954 for $8800 out the door which was a pretty good deal I thought. I got $5700 for my TLR. I just couldn't take the heat coming off that rear cylinder anymore, especially riding around in 100 degree weather in traffic.
The CBR gets hot too but it just feels like a heater blowing on my legs. The TLR felt like I was sitting on the heater. The CBR is sweet. I'm still in the break-in period but I can feel the power of this bike. Not as much down low torque of the TLR but it's got plenty of get-up-and-go. And you don't really feel the weight of the TLR, until you ride a 370 lb. CBR that feels feather light, but with solid handling. I don't miss that uneasy feeling coming from the rear of the TLR with that rotary damper. What I do miss though is that unique V-twin growl you can only get with a TLR
Anyway, this board has been great and I'll still keep it bookmarked. Keep the rubber side down guys! Well.........off to the dark side or am I returning from it
