Think people are ever going to say that about an SV1000?

Granted, a TLR isn't impressive now....But it was back when it was new. Was the SV1000?

most of the quotes i hear are along the lines of that gixxer isint firing on all cylinders

'course if they do know what it is they never shut up about how much the rear suspension sucked ass

I would. I LOVED the SV1k since it first came out... desperately wanted one... I do like the Tiller a lot though... out of the box performance is the only thing that keeps me from selling it and buying the SV1k. In fact, when I bought my Buell I was looking for an SV1k.

it looks sorta like the older model TL...

Those are good looking bikes, but I don't get why anyone would buy something with a sportbike-like riding position and a Ducati pricetag if it only has 75hp. Seems like those people should buy a Monster instead.

Depends on what kind of riding you do. If you are a point-and-shoot kind of rider, then it likely won't do much for you...if you are a cornerspeed type of rider; then it might just fill the bill; and if you look carefully, you can pick a nice one up with low miles for $3500-4000.

And the riding position is more relaxed and comfy than it looks.

REALLY!
