I'm talking prices right now - if I can get it down another 500 I'm going to grab it. This will be the stunt obviously. TL1000

nice bike!

what year is it?

[the art of war]

keep your fingers crossed bro - I used to work at these shops - I know the seasons changed - I can JUST swing it if he drops the price. Problem is TL1000s are very very hard to find in good shape. This thing seems mint, I'm ready to do whatever for it - but gotta keep myself chill lol.

my coworker here had a sv 1000 and let me ride it on occassion and loved it ..the tl is a hotter version with real race spec hardware on both ends.. awesome powerplant with wicked midrange and a healthy top end rush to boot . for a v-twin and trust me i know v-twins the tl and some what detuned sv motor is a f-ing hoot .. i guess u could call it the duck hunter.

Yeah - for a bike thats weighing 480lbs, the v twin muscles it up like nothing else. If this doesn't work I'll look at sv 600s but will most likely 01 R1, that bike has a frame like a 600 but that 1000ccs is unreal for stuntin.

Did you look at your local craigslist? I don't know anything about sports bikes and how much they go for but seems like to me there some great deals here in LA area.

los angeles motorcycles/scooters classifieds "r1" - craigslist

Yeah brother - I check that stuff out - I know the manager at this place - it's a chain I worked for and so I'm expecting the price to be no problems. I used to take them in all day long - i know what they will make and they know i know haha.

This bike , im willing to pay more because TL1000s are incredibly hard to find in good shape dude, it's SO hard. This bike is clean - never been dropped ONCE.

Cool bro, that sounds great. And you right I didn't see any TL 1000 for sale here. Hope you'll get that puppy. :)

What is a TL compared to a gsxr 1000, ps the colours on that bike are exactly the same as my gsxr 600

TL1000 is a v twin engine brother - i can do wheelies at 5mph in figure eights , it has so much fucking torque and if your big enoug h to handle it its the perfect stunt bike... i fucking love it.

the TL romps and stomps in the mid range and one would to be wise to hang on at that RPM..and to boot when the tach hits 9 grand hold on again cause it happens all over again.:) where as the gixxer 1000 has a top end rush that will flatten your eyeballs and send the speedo (if u can keep a eye on it)to the killin speeds PDQ.
