Advantages: Easily maintained great reliability

Disadvantages: None

Hello i owned a TL1000R up until December 2008. I am still in total awe of this bike despite someone crashing into me and writing it off.

With 130+BHP and a huge 1000cc engine this bike is an absolute wheelie machine and produces massive amounts of torque. Despite the TL series earlier bad reputation for deaths the later models came fitted with a steering damper which seemed to cure their problem.

This machine is an astounding piece of kit handles brilliantly at all speeds in all conditions. The power is instant whenever you want it with an estimated top speed of 180 MPH. 0-60 is almost instantaneous the moment you open the throttle in first.

Reliabilty of this beast was great i was using it every day in all conditions and in the full 18 months i owned it i was never let down once. If riden hard this bike will drink fuel with 15 MPG or less on the cards on a sensible ride 35-40MPG is more to the point.

Absolutely brilliant bike with average maintenance costs excellent reliability, great comfort for a sports bike great handling and reliability in all conditions definately a motorcycle i will own again soon!!!

Summary: Excellent bike great fun
