Really not getting on with the VTwin nature of the TL1000R.

I am just an inline four type chap.. I just cant seem to master 'giving it beans' whilst not mono-wheeling everywhere..

The thing is just a wheelie beast, which, whilst sounding fun... just isnt!

Getting eaten off the lights by ricer kids simply as I cant launch without the front jumping skyward at a flip-worthy rate of knots.

I want to get back onto the 4's again I think..

Fancy one of the 'typical' Blades / R1's, or ideally a Zx10!

Anyone fancy swapping a 1300mile 2003 TL1000R for one of the above of a similar year / mileage :)

i would have considered it if i hadnt recently written off my R1,sorry mate.
if you really want another 4 i would wait for the 2006 Fireblade that will be a great bit of kit and from the looks of it i would say it will be better than the R1 and GSXR for sure.
