First Thoughts on TLS!
Posted: Jan 13th, '06, 19:57
picked her up Thursday midday....with Whitetrash.Covered 400 miles on her already so thought would write it up.
Candy Red TLS 2001 model but with 97 ECU,Art cans and also EMC filter and a diff Airbox.Sounds awesome.
I can bet myself money that I would be faster on the blade,not much but abit....doesn't handle as well as the blade and probably doesn't look as nice but the TL in my eyes is a much better bike for the road.
Engine is awesome for the road,lazy engine so to speak and and so torque mad. Never had the back spin so much and im not even that confident on it yet esp with a new front tyre and slippy roads in certain parts.
handling...again with my new front tyre....cant really push it but is very active.Blade was much smoother and moved around alot less.
could write alot more but in a rush.
On track the Blade would go alot quicker alot easier which is important on track but on the road,fun is the main thing and the TL has so much of it.
Alot of power at low revs.....dont have to use the gear box as much,sounds awesome and is very lively but not really scary wise(well in my eyes it isn't lol) but a massive grin factor.
As whitetrash commented after riding my fav local road the a39 from Bridgy to Minehead "when in the twisties which you know,the TL made sense".
pics will follow as will vids
Jewell,very happy boy.
