    Okay folks, I'm pretty settled on the idea of a new Firestorm but Nev
    recently gave me the idea of a SL1000 Falco. Any other twins of that ilk you
    can suggest to me?

    Hmm, VTR, Falco, SV1000, ST2...ummm Buell ?

    Of those I'd take the SV.

    I actually said (IMHO) the Falco was a better bike to ride but on a bang for
    buck basis the Firestorm was a better buy.

    performance bikes (pom mag - yellow trump daytona 600 on cover) does review
    between firestorm, falco, sv1000 and duc 900ss

    sv1000 won ,

    then falco - they seemed to have issues with their one

    vtr1000 they felt was too "soft"

    duc 1000ss they had nice words for regards handling and presence bit slow

    bike!

    I quite like the TDM ... actually I saw a TRX850 modified into a
    desert beastie the other day, should have bought it.

    Really ? Everything I've heard has been very positive (usually couched in
    expletives about the rest of the TL, although some TL owners are die hard fans)

    Fwiw I've ridden the TLS and Raptor and loved the motor in both guises
