Pedro Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YamaHead Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnomad Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 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. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
