Honda V Suzuki v Twin ?

was looking at a VTR1000 Honda this AM. was wondering how they compare
with the similar V Twin 1000 Suzuki.
Anyone care to comment ?

I don't care to comment, sorry.

 

Ride both, buy the one you like.

Simple really.

Which one ? The TL or the SV ? TL is the same age and is very similar,
has slightly dodgy rearshock which is usually (supposedly) only an issue
if you give it a really hard time. Similar weight, similar
reliability. VTR tank is too small (15L ?) given how thirsty it is.
Solid sports tourers

They still make the VTR. SV, in retrospect, was a pearl of a bike.

Huh ? Isn't that back to front ?

The 06 Model is still on the Honda Oz website for some reason

But I didn't think they still made them ?

The SV1000 however is still in production

I agree though - the SV is a good bike - a marked improvement on the TL
(and better than the VTR IMNSHO)

ahem... i loves my SV650...and Bamfy will vouch for the 1000

Girl's bikes, both of them! Isn't it time you grew up and bought
yourself a Real Man's Bike?

Sorry ? You've lost me. The ahem implies I've been unfairly pejorative
to SV, when in fact I said it was better than the TL and VTR (and a
good bike)

JL

 

nah, the bit I was responding to was justAL's comment that SV, in
retrospect, was a pearl of a bike. I was making the point that it
STILL IS! ;-)

I'm always worried that I'll bugger up the attributions, so I probably
don't snip things the way I ought to. Mea culpa...

Sheesh, you blokes are sensitive petals sometimes! ;-)

betty

 

phark me if thats your idea of a mans bike i think you need help :-(

 

Itz a TL :-(

 

*whoosh!*

<snicker> Women have such long memories ;-)

I'd buy a TL-R over a VTR any day, TLS vs VTR pretty much lineball

Come on Ben. That was so far above his head he didn't even hear it.

I believe more men in Oz ride that model than any other.

Cool picture.

Hmm, why am I prompted to type in Cootiou for verification of this
message?

 

Because you're posting via Google, and you have a reputation for being
a spammer? ;-)
