Bye bye TL1000R................ :-)

Post by Seeker 77 »

Goodbye and good riddance, what a mistake that was! If anyone is thinking of getting one, don't!!! 2 gearboxes, 4 engine changes and about £650 in parts, not to mention that it took about 2 weeks of my life to do it all.

Still, got £1800 for it (paid £1350) so can't complain too much!! :biggrin :biggrin

Sorry you had a rubbish one Mark-my TLS was good...

Completely understand your purgative though :thumbdown:

I'll be honest-the TL never felt "right"...

Despite that-how's the gixxer??? :D

Better than i ever remembered. I have bought some add-ons that have made it even better! The full Arrow system has added about 12 bhp and a bucket load of mid-range. I am waiting for some spacers to fit a pair of these:
