well, isn`t that the truth
My brother rides a TL1000R, and I love to get on his case when he can`t keep up in the tighter sections.
standard reply: "I wasn`t trying, you were in the way anyway"
rrriiigghhtt
What was the start of all this?
When did the cogs of my Hawk begin to turn?
Perhaps it is impossible to grasp the answer now,
from deep within the flow of time...
But, for a certainty, back then,
I loved it so much, yet hated so many.
I hurt others and was hurt myself...
Yet even then, I rode like the wind,
whilst my laughter echoed
under cerulean skies... -
i have herd those tl's have a mushy front ends and spongy brakes.
me making a few more excuses for your brother

now the TL i rode did have diffrent fork springs (since the dude weighed the same as me.. a hair over 200..) and it had the usual upgrades, including stainless steel brake lines..
maybe that made the diff..
but it wasnt a bad bike to ride... not as flickable as a hawk of course, but most roads dont demand that kind of tossing anyway... by all accounts the TL SHOULD be faster.... it just takes a better rider to get it there then the hawk requires.

go race mini-bikes, and you'll never think they're twitchy again.Comment

Anyone here ever rode a GPX600R? or GPZ it`s called in the US I believe...
that was one scary machine. you could just feel the frame bend when you leaned over at high speed. and the front was even more dreadfull than the stock front of a Hawk
still, it made one hell of a sound with its BSM Vampire.
that`s why I now have a BSM Carbon Vampire on my Hawk

This doesn't:
'88 Hawk GT - back in the saddle
'99 Suzuki GZ250 - the first
'87 Suzuki GSXR1100/1207cc - traded to get my Hawk backComment
