Is it pretty close?
How does the TL1000R compare performance-wise to the SV1000?

TLR is up on horsepower and torque but the SV1000 weighs less and will handle better out of the box compared to the TLR. The TLR has a higher top speed as well. If you put an aftermarket race shock and damper on the TLR it'll handle significantly better then stock.

Not sure if it's because I'm a better rider or not but I ride my SV with a guy who has a TLR and I smoke him through the twisties. He isn't even in my rearviews anymore. As for straight line performance when we get on it I have no problems keeping up with him.

there are some topics there. People tend to say that sv1000 is easier to ride.
The Tlplanet people say TLR is better because it takes more skillls to ride (bike with more character). I think one that's easier to ride is better, so that's sv1000.

General SportbikesI was just looking for an informed comparison between 160 and 180 tires. I noticed that the fz6 had 180's and the fz6r had 160's. Any input into why that may be would be appreciated as well.

General SportbikesHey I found a tube hanging underneath my fuel tank. Do I have to visit a mechanic or is it something that all bikes have in general. If it is something that all bikes have in general, what is it for ?
