Sv1000r???

[rizza]

Not trying to start rumours or anything but I've heard that the TLR is getting discontinued and I was wondering if anybody has heard about an SV1000R as a replacement?

I think it would be a pretty sweet bike if they made it...

[Jokertlr]

I doubt they will but if Honda brings out the new Chickenhawk that I've been hearing about Suzuki might respond. I'd advise against holding your breathe however.

new superchicken? ha, i only hope the sv1000r becomes reality..

[Slapper]

I actually think the new VTR1000F is in response to the SV1000S. I wouldn't plan on any new serious development on a new V-Twin project.

If anything, I'd look for a GSV-R -- the V-Four as seen in MotoGP.

Like this? lol

ANother quote I found on the net.

Naked V-Twin Hooligan machines! I thought this would be the year of the V-Twin machine. With monstrous torque, potentially light weight, razor sharp handling, comfortable riding positions for an aging demographic, and styling that would allow entrance into any motorcycling subset, V-Twins should be the next big thing. Ducati delivered, and Suzuki delivered their motors to Cagiva, Aprillia gave us an ST. What is the holdup with the rest of the manufacturers? Honda has the engine from the RC51, Suzuki could easily build an SV1000R, Kawasaki, Yamaha, and Aprillia need to pony up.

"comfortable riding positions for an aging demographic'

Somehow that gets forgotten all the time!

Anyone Remember the '85 VF1000R.. Adjustable handlebars! Clip-ons you could change the Height and angle of.. in NINETEEN EIGHTY-FIVE.. I'm glad we've come so far...

The SV1000S seems to be the best track bike of the nekkids, but they seem to have gone a bit extreme on the ergonomics for the typical v-twin customer.

I'd just be happy with some decent aftermarket support for the damn thing.

[horkn]

damn, that is a sweet rendering of the svr. if or when hopefully they make that, i want one...

as i recall the aprilia is a twin too

personally i hate the look of all the concept SVR picts i've seen...but maybe that's just me, pardon me while i

-

[SDTLR]

That's only because you haven't seen a black and yellow one


I'd be all over an SV-R
Then I could put the TL in my living room and stare at it all day long

my only problem w/ the aprilia is that its a 60 degree v and not a 90....it doesnt thump right..

TL isnīt a V90 either...
Itīs 72.5 isīnīt it??



And, no the Mille doesnīt thump as hard/nice at the TL, itīs sharper. But quite nice anyway.

TL=90 degree V-twin....

Exact words from Suzuki web site.

Powerful 996cc 90° V-twin, DOHC 8-valve, liquid-cooled engine. Engine uses forged pistons and light weight conrods to reduce weight and increase rev capability.
