    The Suzuki TL1000R is one of a kind. It's the Japanese Ducati equal. The twin allows for the high end torqe and respectful power through every band. I was disapointed Suzuki didn't advance this bike like ducati in the superbike relm. This bike was far the best ride I have had on a croch rocket. Some negative things being: gas light indicator, the classic complaint "ticking", and slightly on the heavy side. They should bring it back into production.

    had my Suzuki TL1000R since new 1999 and have ridden/owned lots of other top flight sports bikes......but ive still got my TLr and i think that just about says it all!
    Is comfy either one or two up, keeps up with anything else i meet on the road(or trackday)though it does handle better with a smaller 180(than standard 190)section rear tyre...itl cruise all day at three figure speeds if needed although youl be seeking a garage every 110 miles as it can be thirsty/small tank.....it looks great an ...

    The Suzuki TL1000R 996 is an absolutely Awesome Bike! Had mine nearly 3 years now and love it to bits. Definitely not for the inexperienced rider. Not great in town. Scissor gear ticks but doesn't effect performance or reliability.

    Best v-twin mony can buy. Amazing amount of power... engine pulls like a tank..
    Very stable on the highway but hard to run in the city...
    Very heavy, and the rotacion damper sucks, this bike is not for the new biker...if you don't respect the power it will kill you. Trust me.

    I have owned my Suzuki TL for 3 years now and have just it in every weather. This bike is amazing to ride and sounds great, on long runs it's very comfortable but can be a handful around town. This is not a bike for beginners in anyway. The only problem I find with this bike is a ticking noise from the engine. I have checked it out and nothing it worn. I have read reviews on this and I'm told that if a TL doesn't tick then it's broke, just being an engineer seems wrong but it's not.
    I would reco ...

    Love it! Fast, quick, good wind protection at high speed, pleasure to ride, one hell of a bike for the money! For what you loose riding a new bike off a forecourt you can pick up a TL1000R for the same price and owe nothing and have lots of fun!

    The Suzuki TL1000R is a mad beast on a lead! Treat it right and it will serve you well! Treat it rough and it's even better!
    Not for inexperienced riders!

    I have owned this Suzuki TL1000R 996 for over 2 years now and can safely say I have not had any bother with it at all(touch wood). The engine with its 2 primary fuel injectors provides it plenty of bottom end grunt and just when you think the party is over 2 secondary injectors kick in about 8000 rpm and off we go again only to find it hitting the limiter very quickly, but click it up through its very smooth gearbox only to find yourself doing it all over again without any lag or waiting for the ...
