After a few months with the tl I kinda want to sell it and get a liter class 4 banger. I miss the smoothness and explosive top end of inline 4 motors....and then sometimes I want to keep the tl because its so unique and has mo.ster torque....thoughts?
thinking of going back to I-4's.

A few I4s murder that TL in torque.
Come on over, we have room.

i thought I wanted another I4 after having the VFR exclusively for a season and a half. Never took it for a good flogging but enough to know that the I4 wasn't what I was craving

I made the mistake of going from the i4 to a v twin v-strom. Sold it after three months, bought an FJR. I wouldn't mind having a V2 for a second bike but not primary. The i4 acceleration is like a drug for me.

I3's might just be the perfect combination. The question is, when will Triumph make a liter or bigger Daytona again?

Sprint isn't all that sporty. high bars, long, and not quite light enough. However, check this out: six monkeys Speed Triple Daytona conversion! I drool over this often.

I've had two V-Twins in a row and really love the torque, character, and sound over an I-4. If I went back to a four cylinder, it would most likely be a Viffer.

Don't replace...add to the stable. You appreciate the exclusivity of the TL. Get a nice 1k in something and make a lot of us jealous.
My girl told me to kiss her where it smells. So I took her to Pittsburgh.

I can't afford to buy another bike without selling one and I don't have the garage space to amass a collection. What's the biggest triple sport bike triumph makes?

I think you should all let me try your bikes out....give me an idea of what's out there.
