2001 Suzuki TL1000R review from United States of America
"Since production on these bikes have ended, they are sure to be rare finds soon"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Nothing has gone wrong with the bike so far.
General comments?
Compared to a 600 or 750 the acceleration is great, but it is much heavier and more difficult to handle.
The bike is more than capable of doing what the others will, it just takes a little time to get used to laying a bike that heavy down in the curves.
After riding my TL, I feel like I am on a toy on a 600.
