This is a used bike. I got it in trade and have only rode it once or twice. The seat is missing a piece but stays on, one of the little plastic things on the bottom side of seat is broken. The paint looks good until you get close up, the guy I got it from painted it himself. This bike is not showroom condition hence the price. Seems to run well. I did not really want it, I like cruisers better. This one is a bit too tall for me. The TL1000R is a full fairing racing-oriented version of Suzuki's popular TL1000S. The TL1000R was launched in 1998, one year after its sibling, the TL1000S. Unlike the TL-S, the TL-R was designed to compete in the World and American Superbike Championships, although it achieved only one race win before Suzuki pulled the plug on the TL racing program, in favor of returning to the lighter GSX-R750 as its Superbike entry. The TL-R took aim at Ducati's 916 both in the Superbike Championship and in consumer sales. The R shares basic engine architecture with the S but has special components including forged pistons, stronger connecting rods, and a much stiffer frame.[1] The engine tweaks given to the TL-R made it known for its very good top-end horsepower[2] (as compared to most V-twins that make better bottom end power). The TL-R was offered in yellow, blue/white, black, and red. Suzuki stopped production of the TL1000S in 2001, and the TL1000R in 2003.
