Hey guys, I've been lookin at TL-R's for a while now and came across this add in bridgewater lookin for a trade for an inline 4. Its a 2002 TL-R with just over 15k on it. Anyone know this bike or the owner? Tryin to get a lil bit of honest info about the bike

2002 tl1000r

Do it. I don't know it but I traded my k5 GSXR1000 to get mine. There are so many things out there and a great community. Do it. Do it now. I need another TL guy to ride with.

just makes me nervous cause i see that he's posted the same ad 3 times in a few days time, and i hate to get burned and find out theres something fucked up about the bike

[Wishbone]

I would trade a mint zx9 for a broken TL-R

I'm not understanding the concern about this......if the ad's been re-listed a few times, that makes it a shakey deal?

[DBConz]

i dont know why but people just love the TL-R bikes. guess i'll just have to ride one to know. heard they're great bikes though

the TL's are sick bikes my buddy and his bro had matching ones. ride like a dream but are heavy as hell.

you can never beat the sound of a v-twn with a nice set of can's on her

[flintoid]

^agreed. My buddy has a TLR and it's a pretty great ride. Unfortunately, he's been having maintenance problems with it. His gearbox got all kinds of effed up. I'm not sure if high maintenance is a trait of them or if he just flogs the shit out of his bike, but it definately wasn't fun helping him fix it.

Mine's been completely reliable. Coming up on 15k myself.

Looks like a good deal. Go check see it in person and form an opinion. The reason that its been reposted a few times is because the TL is a fairly obscure bike to the simpletons of the motorcycle world. Most people only think "GSX" when they think Suzuki.

[marshdrummer]

I have 26,000 on mine and haven't had much happen to it. The bike is on TLZone.net and TLPlanet.com for sale also. He has been a contributing member in the TL community. This is by far the funnest bike I've ever owned so....DO IT DO IT DO IT!!!! (If you do, can I have the wheels??!!)

[type911]

Just a warning, It is the slower Color of TLR variants....Yellow.

[Omahastylin16]

haha i love the yellow, whats the matter marsh? dont like the chrome?

[Omahastylin16]

well i sent him an email with a pic of the bike, guess we'll see what happens. my ninja isnt exactly the least obscure of bikes either

[Just_Jeff]

Only way to know is to go see th ebike and take a peak

[Ryno]

I'll sell you mine

also think there's one in the for sale section here

[keeena]

Or purchase this one...I heard its one sharp TL...
