Hey guys and girls...I'm pondering selling the tiller

Its a 98 tls 1000...38k...ohlins shock...forks revalved and sprung by robert taylor [mr ohlins] to suit my 95kg weight with leathers on...need_less to say it handles really well...ohlins steering damper...in silver [the second fastest colour]...double bubble...yoshi rs3 race cans [103db]...next to brand new pilot powers [500kms]..

what would people pay for it...or does any one think they might like to own it...?

oh and I have a comp werks fender eliminater kit that will probally be installed for the new owner unless someone offers me a decent price for it?

I've got a mate who's looking for a bike at the mo' but he's only got $5,000 and I presume you'll be looking for more like $10,000.

High 8ish. And would buy it tomorrow if i had the wedge. bugger.

**TLDV8** · 23rd August 2005, 20:44

$8500 without the Ohlins steering damper and rear shock (imho)..$9700 to $10000 with.....

Sometimes it is easier to sell bolt on parts seperately to try and recoup more of the outlay depnding on how many mods there are,they rarely add true value at resale ...As far as TL's go it can depend on how clued up the prospective buyer is.

Don't ask

Do you still have the OEM pipes? A fellow KBer may be in need.

I'll match your bid of $0.00 and up it by $0.00

No idea of value mate. It's definitely more than what I can afford.
Looks very nice BTW.

Not too many silver ones around CP, looking sharp, well sharper than mine anyway

its' well set up and for anyone seriously looking into a TLS they should understand this, you should be able to get close to $10K, i'd be ono on it, some people are selling the likes of R1's and GSXR's for around that, which makes it harder to sell at top dollar, but the TL is a great bike and still is, and with a reputation to match

, all the best of luck to you mate.

What you planning on next????????

**cowpoos** · 24th August 2005, 20:16

hey bruce...totally agree with you...this bike is better setup than 95% of tls out there...

rsvr factory....or k5 gsxr750 + ohlins [forks+shock] and oz rims + a couple of engine goodies...not sure yet

The other plan involves chassis strenghtening...swing arm strenghtening and ajustable rear ride height for the tls...and custom fuel cell under the seat...gut petrol tank...make custom airbox...move eletrics and battery...cam shafts...power commander...brake upgrade of some sort...full race exhaust...ohlins forks[maybe]...oz wheels...[5.5 inch rim so I can run 180 rear] maybe some head work...port polish...intake and exhaut matching...I want 140 rear wheel...but will settle for 135...Hmmm

still to decide....thats why I'm pondering

and i'll triple that.

now how can you put that down.

on a serious not 8.5k with bits.

i got to say though that would be the bottom end. they are so holding their price big time. it sucks.

Fuck me that'll be one hell of a TL if you do, do that. The GSXR750 would still be my pick of the bunch, as the GSXR is already so much lighter than the TL and RSVR, with the ohlins goodies and a little tweaking the 750 would be a weapon anywhere. I looked at trciking my S out before my off and it just made sense to sell it and buy the K3, the amount of money i'd have to spend to get the TL upto that kind of spec as oppsed to the $13K i paid for the K3, i just couldn't justify it.
But i'd be going for the 750 fir sure, why not the 1000?
