Jesus! Are you a dealership?

I've never ridden one, but the TL looked so cool when it came out, and I think it never lost it's appeal over the years.

Ha ha no mate just a serial bike changer. I loved that TL and bought it new off my mate when he worked in a Suzuki dealership. If I remember it was a 1998 model and I've always regretted selling it so when the same mate said he had a 1997 model sitting in his garage that he was willing to sell I bit his hand off! It's in the UK at the moment and he's giving it a good going over and replacing a few bits and bobs like fork seals etc, he's given it a full service and making sure it's in top condition before I get it over here. Can't wait and it's worth the cost of getting it on Spanish plates.

Nice collection Skippy! ....I used to work for a Bike shop with a guy who had a TL.....That was a Burly sounding machine!

Always thought the rotary rear shock was interesting.?

Yeah the bike does have a bit of a bad reputation but the one I’m getting has an R1 shock upgrade which makes a massive difference apparently.

Yes, that's quite a collection you've had there.  I remember your XR650L, was it you that sold me the side pannier racks ?

Here's the XR650L I had..........

I've had a few over the years, but since we got the Tiger my bike whorish ways have moderated, since then it's been all Tiger with a brief flirtation with a BMW Light Truck that was a really disappointing machine.
