I have permission!

[waynester]

The better half says i can get a bike.. just popping off to the err... 'reading' room with Bikemart tucked under my arm.

Isn't this fun..

Quite fancy another twin, maybe a TL1000R..

[anonymous-user]

Well huzzah!!

Nice bike that TLR - saw one the other day in perfect condition with a high-level can and it sounded like a low-flying bobmber - just fabulous!

Happy reading and let us kow what you go for!

I am being a bit rude here (don't mean to be) but how can your partner stop you getting a bike? (unless financially guiding you)

I have never felt as if I had to get her permission, but good on you mate!

My the fun of selecting your bike begin.....

V-Twin all the way!

[rumpelstiltskin]

I tend to change bikes as often as my underpants!I've had a new GSXR600 k3,Hayabusa,Honda SP1,ZX12r,Yamaha R1 and now my TL1000R,i've had the TL longer now than any of them so that must say something?,i luv it!Its a true V-Twin,big,torquey throbbing motor(Ooh missus)whereas the SP1 was quiet refined and smooth for a V-Twin.Give the TL a go,great bike!

Yes, but don't get the TLR, it's too lardy. You want a nice TLS, you do.

Ooo thats Fighting Talk
I love my TLR.. Admittedly its had its fair share of tweaks but even with some sensible mods its one hell of a bike.
And without blowing smoke up my backside, even though my bike is now 8 years old it still gets lots of approving comments..

Mine's got the M4 system and it sounds just luuuuvveerly!!

"i have permission" ?, in the words of mr T in the snickers ad, "GET SOME NUTS".

[MrsMiggins]

Of course the great thing about the TL, R or S, is that many are owned by people who love them so they're fettled and modded for you to buy.

Just don't buy this one

[Mad Dave]

TLR is a good road bike, but IMHO not a good track bike. I had one for 4 months before taking it back and swapping it for an R1

[Mad Dave]

Oh, just to add - they sound GLORIOUS with twin race pipes :P

Lardy..! Maybe. But in classic Suzuki colours white,blue..nice.

Its actually quite difficult finding an unmolested one in the above colours...

[MrsMiggins]

I'm not so sure that 'unmolested' is what you want. There are plenty of mods which make the bike better, (TRE, 1/5 throttle, exhaust, PCII, etc) it's just a matter of finding one that hasn't been messed about with by an idiot.

If you're seriously interested in a TL then www.tlzone.net will help you tell a good un from a bad un.

Got one.. Here she is..!
Totally standard, FSH, original handbooks etc... Its done 15,000 miles but you would never know it. Its mint, and gets delivered next week after its had a full service inc valve clearance check done!

Happy bunny me..
