Picked up my new bike last weekend.. A full power TL1000R. On a S plate but absolutely immaculate.. 11000 miles. Full dealer history.. totally standard apart from twin art cans... Very very loud!! sounds lovely it does..

Neighbours are gunna love me when i fire it up at 5.45 am to go to work tomorrow..

It puts its power out like a sledgehammer to the back of the head!!

Nice looking TL there - mans bike that! I rode a Firestorm and loved the sweet handling but the motor was dull, I then rode a TLS and the handling was nowhere near as good but the motor was mental and ideal for vertical foolery.

and won a world superbike race at phillip island in the wet .... antony gobert

I had a firestorm for 2 yrs.. I swapped my original TL-S for it. I never thought the motor was dull.. TBH it was lovely compared to the TLS..I really regret sellin that one..
The TL-R is a different animal... a lot more refined compared to the S.. Still mental though!!
