2002 Suzuki TL1000R very clean bike and low miles. Pretty much stock besides brand new M4 slip on new chain and sprocket and steel braided brake and clutch lines. Runs and rides perfect. Also have another set of Yoshimura slip on for it in pretty good shape.

According to Red these are cool. It’s like a GSXR with a V-motor. A Japanese version of a Ducati V-motor. It sounds different and has a following.
Anyone have one of these? How does it ride? Any info to share with potential buyers?
Good luck to the buyer and seller!
I’ve never tried one, but a couple of good friends campaigned these at the track in the ‘olden days’, and despite the heft, with the appropriate suspension mods they were very capable machines. And the motor is the real gem.
Under hard use, the rotary damper would overheat and lose most of its damping properties. This made the motorcycle handle like an overcooked noodle through corners. Plus, the bike’s wheelie-happy nature made the front liable to flap if you weren’t careful enough. The result was a scarily dangerous motorcycle that would produce more lock-to-lock tank slappers than giggles.
That being said, I own one, Love it and would NOT sell mine for as little as this one is listed for, as a matter of fact, this one is tempting at the price listed, 6k, I just don’t have the room for another bike
