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?

If you love someone, let them go. Just don't get mad if they come back with the herpes.

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?

Tune the Sprint 1050 for higher RPM, that could be a fun motor in a 400 lb frame!

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.Posted Image

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.

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?
