Ouch, they de-tuned almost 40 hp out of my beloved throbbing twin liter? Those sick perverts. +1 on the tl being a shitty touring bike. Mine has heli bars which make it a bit more comfy, but 120 miles/tank is no bueno for long trips. It may get more on strictly freeway, I've heard legends of 150 but Idk...the tl should be used for what it was designed for: scaring the shit out of yourself periodically and carving twisties and sweepers....and power wheelies. I would love to sell Jamal my tl and buy yours but that is a delicate ballet. His brother needs to sell his civic so he can buy jamals Kat and Taurus so he can buy my tl so I can buy yours....the planet's align, a king is born.....you get the idea. I've already successfully masturbated to the idea of owning yours, it has pretty much everything I want to do to mine....just gotta ditch that ugly fender, bolt on a hugger, integrated tail light and some pazzo shorties.
