Suzuki TL1000R or TLR1000

My 2001 TL1000R. Sounds like thunder !! This has a custom paint job, 90 degree twin engine and a full Yoshimura exhaust system with a Power Comander III USB EFI programmer.

I had a TLS - the 1997 model with the full horsepower like the TLR, only sexier. Bitch ran a red light and killed it. Damn near killed me. Replaced it with an SV1000S. Doesn't make me feel 17 like the TL did, but after 5 years of occasional riding, the SV has really grown on me. I like a lot of bikes, but I don't think there's a single bike out there I could love more than my SV1000S. I'm still afraid, but sometimes I just ride a couple miles to the grocery store, just to hear my baby growl.

@varscht How much is a new SV1000 these days ? It's been in the back of my mind to do some research on those should i smash this one up pretty badly. I have an FZ1 that i ride weekly.

This bike burned the inside of my leg would run out of gas after 100 miles of riding and was a bitch in the city but damn it was fast and it was a wheelie monster not to mention the most comfortable bike i have ever owned.. I miss this bike.

@bulldog01209 I wish Suzuki would make another t-twin like this. Till then, we are stuck with the V-strom's cuz not everyone wants to afford a Ducati :) I get about 46 MPG with this bike.

@jacebigelow sv1000 is the new version of this bike mate :)

[jacebigelow]

@KyleScottStrength agreed !! but it's a naked sport touring class, and less horsepower.

Nice TL but why does everyone on youtube only Idle their bikes ?Lets hear you rap on the throttle! Lets hear dome rpm ....

[gthcprinceofdarknss]

@KyleScottStrength the SV1000 is more of a street version the original TL was made for racing and internally the engine is totally different i have rebuilt both motors a few times cams are driven differently, the engine rotates the other direction and the primary drive is different they are both nice bikes but i prefer the TL

[Poucket63]

@KyleScottStrength No possible comparison!

The SV1000 got only the same base : The 1000cm3 L-motor...

The behaviour on road, brakes, accel... are very different, the SV1000 has no "soul" for me... It's my personnal opinion

[Smoldari]

@jacebigelow SV can have full fairing aswell ;) Tho the naked version is more popular. It has less horsepower but the SV engine is much more reliable than the TL engine :D I'd trade off 30 horsepower to gain that reliability.

Besides SV1000S with full yoshi and PC3 kicks ass too ;)
