Eh, do i know u from somewhere? What bike u riding now anyway?

[enow]

is the 750cc called G1 and the 1000cc K1?

[Guest Gixxer1]

Fuel consumption on the Gixxer is still lower than R1

For normal cruising it shd clock 265km before the reserve light light-up.

(equiped with K&N filter and using iridium plugs)

If pushed it hard enough...

It will be less than 200km

 

[Ah Teck]

actually quite like tis bike but i still prefer the hayabusa

[Guest Gixxer1]

Insurance and road tax on the hayas is much much expensive.

Everyone has his dream machine...

But of course, my friend, the gixxer 1000 is fuel injection so it consumes less petrol than carburator bikes.

but the new r1 is also fuel injection... so how does it compare with the gixxer then?

[Guest Gixxer1]

No idea about the comparisons of fuel consumption yet!!!

But for riding posture,

especially tall guys,

riding a R1 is a torture.

[Guest Gixxer1]

To be frank, i wouldn't recommend the TL.

with the $ you spend on a 2nd hand TL,

It should be enough to get the SRAD 750!

 

Personally, i still prefer in-line four engine

rather than V-twin

[Ah Teck]

in-line has better top but pickup wise v twin is faster

i must agree with you on this.... loved the TL1000S engine....
