Cheers BillyR Feel the same. front end turns in a bit sharp in tight corners, but thats down to the short front forks. doesn't shake it's head at all. My background is Supermoto's so thought this would be pretty daunting considering the media frenzy, but it's fine. My XS1100 is the one that scares me, with the spaghetti forks and ' interesting' brakes! 1 Quote Link to comment

It was (almost) entirely down to that rotary damper which when it was worked hard stopped damping. 3 Quote Link to comment

My XS1100 is the one that scares me, with the spaghetti forks and ' interesting' brakes! Indeed! I also grew up on late 70's early 80's superbikes, some complete with big bores, nitrous or turbo's and of course with bog standard suspension, brakes and frames. Makes the issues with some modern bikes seem easy enough to deal with. 1 Quote Link to comment

I don't doubt it, with stuff like that there's usually one main factor and a host of other bits that contribute or make things worse. Over all though it doesn't seem to take much to get a TL into a serious superbike territory. One of a few bikes I've always fancied but never owned. 1 Quote Link to comment
