Sent from my SCH-I51 zx-10 is a nice bike.....Im curious, what do you think a superbike is?
My tl1000r must have been one of the only "not a" superbikes raced in the ama....Ill assure you my friend, indeed it is. Although your definition may be different than mine,wera,or the ama. (not trying to dis you bro but you might be thinking of something else)
generally a superbike sold as a street bike must have the same crankcase and engine along with body of a bike raced in ama superbike championship series.

TL1000's are sexy and sound great. Similar to the RC51's. But at 500 lbs, and 100-110 RWHP it's a sportbike.
Similar years of R1,GSXRs,Ninjas, Fireblades were already at 140-150 RWHP at 390 lbs.
The 636, and Gsxr750 pushing TL HP during the same time. But had better braking,acceleration,turn in speeds, corner exit speeds.
Those were middle weights.
On a side note, the Zx10 was ok, id never buy another Kawi though. Yamaha and Suzuki are much better.

I am about to get a Triumph Bonneville. An old one for a collector and a new one that will start every day and not leak oil.

Tri's are very nice bikes...I wanted a bonneville just for the nostalgic retro look, went to test one and like my life story with everything from big wheels to modern cars My tall ugly ass was too big for it!!

Your close with the TL #'s...mine dynod at 126hp, friends was dynoed at 158 hp but lots of "stuff" to get it there (wiseco pistons and internals, air box mods, remapped ecu, charge/rectifier mod, injectors, tre, velocity stacks, full ti exhaust, 520 Ti sprocket/chain, and few other tricks.

Your 100% correct that the TL is no threat in the HP/weight department even against a newer 600, but they indeed were superbikes, ( you gotta remember that in 1997 they were on par with most others)
Im realistic with the expectations of a bike, and she goes faster than I need to go ever again (my top speed run was in an isolated area, but I would never attempt again)
I believe your zx10 was around 148 hp dead stock.

I lowered my vtx a couple inches in the rear with new shorter shocks, looks and rides real sweet. Last thing is forward controls and it will be just about a perfect bike for my purposes. love that damn thing cant stay off it.
