2003 Suzuki TL1000R on eBay DISCLAIMER! Let me start by saying that I actually owned a ’98 TL1000R. I had the first one in Michigan and rode it for almost 6 years. So this post is will be love/hate for me. I went into the dealership to buy an R1 and despite having left…
Happy Happy…here are two versions of one of my favorite bikes, the Sukuki TL 1000R. The TL is a bike that even today reminds me of the “old” days of motorcycling; big, fast and something that didn’t suffer fools gladly. As noted in previous RSBFS posts, the Suzuki TL1000 series were V-Twins built in response…
Every once in a while someone produces a bike that truly harkens back to the old days of motorcycling, a bike that requires concentration and skill to master and doesn’t suffer fools gladly.

While not a very well respected machine, it’s hard to argue the value for money when one considers the TL1000R. Having only been produced for 5 years, and not a huge sales success at the showroom, these survivors will get more and more rare. This one has nearly 29k miles but the owner demonstrates that…
New, Old Stock: 2006 Bimota SB8K Santamonica W/10 Miles “Santamonica”; it just conjures up good images in your head, doesn’t it? The visuals definetely reinforce that feeling.
