Well, go to any bike night, and watch what happens when a TLR comes. People start saying "damn, that was my dream bike back in the day......"

Think people are ever going to say that about an SV1000?

Granted, a TLR isn't impressive now....But it was back when it was new. Was the SV1000?

Um the SV just wasn't marketed or made that way... but I would be interested to see a TLR vs SV match up with only a suspension upgrade to GSXR pieces.

I would. I LOVED the SV1k since it first came out... desperately wanted one... I do like the Tiller a lot though... out of the box performance is the only thing that keeps me from selling it and buying the SV1k. In fact, when I bought my Buell I was looking for an SV1k.
