    TLR vs. SV1000S

    Can anyone offer a first hand comparison of your thoughts on the two bikes? I've been wanting to get back onto a TLR for a long time now but from looking around, finding a low-mileage unmolested TLR is getting more and more difficult, and for comparison sake it looks like I can scoop up a '00-'02 TLR with 20k miles and a '03-'05 SV1000 with <10k miles for about the same money.

    Power, handling, comfort, fun-factor, etc.

    Thanks

    My 03 will be up for sale in the spring.
    I've never "ridden" a TL. I cruised around on a TLR once but not enough for any comparison. I think the Sv is closer to the TLS as far as comfort and somewhere in between the S and the R in handling. Power and delivery comparisons I also don't know. I dynod mine at 115 HP, torque is unknown. I love my SV, the torque is phenomenal, handling is pretty good and the sound of the dual hi mounts......heaven.

    Re: TLR vs. SV1000S

    Can't compare since I've never ridden the SV1K. The SV will be a bit down on power compared to the TLR (maybe -10%?). A little bit lighter than the TLR. Comfort is all up to the individual; ergos definitely look more relaxed on the SV though.

    If you get the TLR, I still have a bunch of spares up for sale, including a motor & the sweet LE/Penske rear setup.

    Since I got my VSTROM remapped it is a happy camper.

    That may be why sv1000 weren't that popular

    No advantage to putting on a gsxr front end. The forks are already fully adjustable and unless you absolutely have to have radial brakes the 4 piston gsxr brakes that are on there are more than capable. I also think you can drop an ohlins kit in there too as an upgrade.
