Hey Gang. Against my better judgement and ability I raced a CBR1000 over the weekend. Not from a dig, but from about a 15 or 20 mph roll (4or5 times). I lost, but I can tell you this: The stock TL1000r with nothing more than Yoshi's runs like a bat out of hell. This guy won, but was scared to death when that pig opened up. I cant say for sure because I get scared around 150mph, but I think I was catching him. All I am saying is the TL is one hell of a bike and I am proud to own one. From a DIG, it is going to come down to skill and experience. Those 4 bangers are fast and I am not the one to set the stage, but at the end of the day I am V-twin baby!!

I assume he is talking about launching from a dead stop since he said they were doing 15-20 mph roll-ons.My build thread --->http://www.tlplanet.com/forums/showthread.php?t=79793

And remember, the sound of a TL makes up for it being old and slow(er).
How much do you weigh? Just curious.January 2012 - BBOTM & TLOTMComment
