^$#%^&$#%^%$# it's not a fat pig!!!!

It's wide thanks to the upper radiator, but not fat! It weighs about as much as a CBR900RR, and I don't hear people calling those fat!

I have to agree with you about the TLR. It is stupid fun, and more than should be legal.

1125 Redlines at 10.5.
Power doesn't really kick in till 4.5K, but pulls all the way till 10.5K
I feel that the power is decieving. Comes on so smooth that you don't realize that it's there.
It makes more power than your TL (i think?)
Not sure how the Tq measures out.


Glad you gave it a chance though. I do understand about the XB though... I have probs with short RPM's too.

You just gotta know how to ride the XB.
