Moped rider
Can anyone tell me what he/she thought about the TL1000S or TL1000R? I want to buy one but I'm afraid i will be disappointed since the last bike i did ride were an GSXR 1000 k6.
Really want to own a sport VTwin, they seem to be really good on NZ roads.

I enjoyed mine immensely while I had it. Really depends on what you are expecting I guess & the budget. Also depends on what work has been done to the TL in question.
There is a lovely 99 S on trademe at present, has done just 12k & has an Ohlins rear, that should be a nice bike
The S is the road going version & the R was developed for the track.
S is 187 dry with 125BHP while the R is 197 dry with 135BHP.
Apparently the S is more collectible than the R, bit of a cult bike. The purest's will say the 97 S is the one to get, raw & untamed

Or even better, get yourself a Firestorm.

S is green, R is red... done consecutively on the dyno by Caffeinated on the zone.
gixxer definately has more power but power aint everything!
'97 S is a fun bike, too much for me in the end

Could live with SV, just but no way in hell a FSI said Firestorm, not SV1000
May as well be an IL4 with the power they have
All very true of course but is he going to be riding on or near the limit to get all that out of either bike? Is he looking for a change of pace?Yea K6 1000 Handling /brakes /power/suspension to a TL cann't be to much different there

pretending to give a fuck...
I had a K2 & K3 Gixxer thou before getting my S. Peak power ain't everything and the TL is still an incredibly fun bike with enuf power to kept things interesting and a hell of a lot more character. Have never tried n R, the styling put me off it.
Bwahahahahahaha! Great tui ad.
It's just one of those days, where you don't wanna wake up,
everything is fucked, everybody sucks,
You don't really know why but you wanna justify ripping someone's head off

Go take one for a test ride... the one I test rode I had to give back was to uncomfortable...but that was just me. Heaps on here will say they love, them... truly depends on what you want. A few other options are;
- Suzuki SV,
- Honda Firestorm (I had one for 3 years great bike... again some don't like the firestorm)
- Honda SP1, SP2
- Ducati ST4 or ST4s, 999, 996, 916 etc.
Depends on your budget, what you want and if you like the bike, and it meets your needs and riding style... got for a test ride and each to there own...
Most modern bikes are reliable and should have any major problems...

Hmmm an intresting quote I found about the TL1000.
"Newbie riders should simply skip the TL and go straight to the morgue."
