just what the title says. I stunt my TLR and i love it. I prefer the powerband of it to a 4 cylinder... but thats just me. I love the balance point of it too. So let me know who out there is runnnin' em' or what you think of them. The only complaint of mine is that its a fat-***...its like 450lbs. I have got a yoshimura full system/bmc filter/TRE and all blue fir bodywork w/ a bunch of carbon ****.

I didn't know what kind of bike I wanted to get for a while, but after doing come searching in here I decided on a TL. Just 'cause they don't seem to be the "Prefered Choice" to stunt. I'd like to get pimp on one someday. You really don't see alot of them. I also like the Torque V-Twins have. That's just me though. I hope I can get one before winter and get some seat time on it! The whole time I've been postin on here, I haven't had a bike to stunt. I'm gettin ancy in my pantsy's!!!

My VTR1000 was a great bike. The front suspension sucked *** so did the front brakes. You can swap a 929 front end (forks brakes front wheels etc.) It does have a steel subframe, the frame looked kinda wimpy once you have the motor out, but you can always brace it up. They do have nice torque and wheelies are very easy!

i have an RC51 and i love the bottom end grunt that it has and runnin' the gears while i'm in the air isn't a problem at all!!
it also stoppies like a ***** f***in' champ!! but does anyone else feel like it's harder to control the throttle on a v-twin, or do i just need to work on my back brake more?

Wheeliesteve, I would like to hear some of your thoughts on the VTR. I am a new owner of one. So far I love it. What about oil starvation doing long wheelies? Any tips, tricks about these bikes that you could pass along to me? I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
