2001 Suzuki TL1000R vs. 2002 Honda CBR 954RR... another biased comparison.

ahh gotcha, i just woke up and didnt see you coming from that angle. well clearly the reason is if you ride a jap I4 bigger than a 750 you are automatically squidly until proven innocent

nevermind that with the extra torque its actually easier to ride on the street and dare i say it? perhaps safer in traffic? i know that when some dumbass cager starts acting funny near me banishing him to the rearview is as simple as cracking the throttle. no mucking about with gears.

Same could be said for an SV650.

Ok, your point was that you don't need to be shifting all over the place to get out of a tight situation in traffic... My point still stands.

That you need a liter bike to get out of tight traffic situations.

I bought my bike for a few reasons..

I make more tq off of idle than most i4s make in their top 1/3rd.
The only maintenance on my bike is oil changes and primary chain adjustments.
It was about 4000$ less than an i4 1000, and that's new.
It has a 2 year unlimited milage warranty.
I see about 2-300 typical jap bikes for every Buell I see.
It performs beyond anything I need. I've only had it over 100mph a handful of times, and that was just to see how fast it would really go.

And, finally.. It's a street bike that is capable on the track. As opposed to most other people who buy a race bike and try to ride it on the street. Considering I spend 100% of my time on the street, it's much more practical.
