1998 Suzuki TL 1000R 99.9% original and only 267 miles..
Location: New Hampshire
Mileage: 267 – unbelievable!
Price: $4,000.00 starting bid with reserve
I’m not sure what it is lately, but the low mileage bikes seem to be coming out of the woodwork. This latest offering logged an average of 22.25 miles per year and that’s not to be confused with MPG either. This is a first year TL1000R so I’m assuming they’ll be some die hard TL fans getting in on the action for this one.
I believe these were produced from 1998 to 2003, but due to a combined nasty reputation for crashing, piggish weight and lack luster track performance Suzuki pulled the plug on these. Originally thought to be Suzuki’s answer as the Ducati killer, it just didn’t work out that way. The TL does enjoy a nice cult like following of which our very own RSBFS author Alex is part of. He recently did an extended trip on his and reported back that it was quite enjoyable aboard his TL. Although his has a few more miles than this one it is decked out in the ‘HEY! look at me on the yellow bike’.
Have a look at this time capsule:
The seller has posted several more large pictures on the auction site. If you’re interested in this yellow beast .
Cheers!

I love me some TLRs! My brother has a 2001 TLR but he bought it from a Harley dude that didn’t exactly take great care of it.
Anyway, this one still no bids. Wonder what the reserve is set at?
[…] why not pick up a low mile, first year, TLR for the collection? See the other TLR we featured here. See this bike on eBay document.write('');here. #gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 […]
