Hey guys selling my tls 6 months rego and near ne metzlers http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....:L:LCA:AU:1123
Prob a bit high on the km side for me mate, but good luck with the sale.
I agree its got the high ks thats why the lower price, it has had rings and valves done, near new tirea and six months rego, not that i am doing the sales pitch. basically i am trading it in for a new bike, would rather see it go to someone who will make use of it than a wholesaler and obviously i would get more in a quicksale than i will get offered on trade.
Cheers

Another TL?
At least Gitzy can have another group photo
I can see it now,
OK all the GSXR fighters over to the left, now can we have all the TL fighters over hear to the right.
My vote is for Honda VTR
I had a '99 VTR, wrote it off and a few weeks later bought a '99 TLs.quote:Originally posted by Chase
I'm a fan of both TL & VTR.. Both look great in the SF pics (thanks Gitzy). Seems there is no support for the SV.
How do you rate the VTR and TL for;
Handling
Power
Suspension
Build Potential
[?][?][?][?][?][?][?][?][?]
Being a Suzuki man it is hard to say but the VTR shat on the TL.
The VTR was bloody quick, handled welll and was a dream to ride. The TLs was underpowered (in comparison), snatchy, rattly, bulky and always felt heavy (and I had to get the frame replaced because it broke...). They were both used as commuters with occasional weekend riding and it was easy to ride the VTR anywhere but it always felt like a battle with the TL.
Given the opportunity again I would buy a VTR and fighter it. Slap on a set of USDs and front-mount a rad ala Nudie and it is job done...
What about this one??

Trade still has not been negotiated, but I am sure they will offer bugger all, they may also put it on consignment for me. Selling on Ebay is better for me because someone gets a rego'd TL at a pretty good price and I get cash to throw down on the deal. Just gonna let it ride and see how the week pans out 8)
Doing the math and by the time I get a repairable, do the inspections and reg etc it's cheaper (and easier) to buy a rego'd one to fighter... sad fact for us all really - especially in NSW [}quote:Originally posted by robmac

TLs issues are
somewhat frail gearbox if your a stomper and thrasher.
rear rotary shock is useless, bin it for an bitubo or ohlins.
some have had frames crack.. usually been replaced by now, most were done under recall.
the newer the model the softer they were. 97 model is the pick.
charging system is suspect at best, simple 10min wiring job to correct.
if the above is given attention they are fantastic bikes, i honestly woud have trouble choosing any other bike as a road bike.
vtr's main issues are
weak suspension performance when pushed.
small fuel tank on older models
brakes are ho hum
ive ridden the vtr's a few times love them, again great roadbikes... but no where near as good as the TLs
TLr is fat heavy version of the tls, with a poofteenth more go the then s.
SV 1000
fixed all the above probs of the tl but motor lost some go in the process.....
easy to change, tl cams and a fiddle with the heads and airbox, combined with a tune brings the ponies back,
with more torque to boot.
gearbox issues are sorted
suspension is conventional design, meaning upgrades to late model 3 way adjustable sportbike shocks.
gixxer front ends bolt straight in
for me.... a passion purchase is thr TL a sensible and better choice in the long run is the sv1000
the SV out of the box does all the right things, but with tweaking becomes the best of the lot with ease.
cheers.joe.
