Well, my track bike dreams were derailed for a moment, damn new a/c system, but I'm trying to make something work out.

I can't really affoard $7-8K for a 675 so I've been eyeballing SVs. I'm too lazy to work a 600 I4 so the triple or twin is more to my liking.

Saw the TLR above and it caught my eye.

Thoughts and/or FHE with the TLR. Looks like he's swapped the stock shock for an Ohlins so thats the diggest beef on the TLR, besides heft.

no clue about the TLR. but you could easily get used to an I4 [cheeky]

sure, why not?

the guys that i've known that raced 'em had fun on 'em.

510 lbs wet? that means my fatass plus my sv would weigh less than a "normal" rider and this bike. :

I've never really seen that many TLRs as track bikes. I think you'd have much better luck for spares/mods/etc with a SV considering how prevalent they are.

Hold out for a SV. They're out there, they just take some searching. I paid less than that for mine. [thumbsup]

Yeah, but this is a fat chick you have to ride _while your friends watch_ [cheeky] [laugh]

Owner got back and gave similar info at 510lds wet. He's guessing he's shaved about 30lbs when in track trim. So she's a porker.

I don't mind ridding a porker in front of you guys if you don't mind watching! :-*

[gm2]

woah. think you might actually mind...

Hey, you can't blame a guy for dreaming!
