i love the TL, and i can't see trading it for a yamaha. although, if i were to add another to my garage, it would be either a R6 or a gixxer1k.
I like the TL cause it isn't s popular, and you don't see very many of them out there. The sound also really sets it apart. When i tell people i ride a TLR, i get a lot that say "what is that" I tell them its a V-twin, they ask, "is it a cruiser", no it is not. Also, i love the looks it gets when i start it up. it surprises people, you don't expect that sound out of a bike with those lines.
It's deffinitly the red headed step child of the sport bike world, but thats ok, i like to stand out a little from the crowd.
