I've heard all the bad things said about them as well.
If I got a twin, it would have to be the petrol guzzling SP2.
I'd prefer a Ducati 996 (still the world's most beautiful bike) but that noisy clutch should be on a tractor, and it's still the biggest pain in the arse to keep if you do any decent mileage and have a thin wallet.
Heidi...you're a worry!
oh but its such a pretty bike. oh well
Bought one of these when they were first released and had it a couple of years,and agree with kawa,junk the rear shock and you will have an excellent bike.they handle well enough untill you start to push hard then they get a bit of a pogo effect happening.No amount of adjustment could get rid of it completely.
my 2 cents worth,
Cheers Dave.
PS.there asking to much for it .
I THINK in the pro twins at the creek(2000-1) a good rider got around 1.38's on a TLR . Cheers,

Hi Dan
Seeing Pan brought my name into it, I had better reply
I had a TLS for about 3 years and yes I loved it , It was Awsome!!! So if you are worried about the handling of the tlr go ride one of tls's. Mine had to be the loudest succer around , full yoshi race exhaust,had lots of work done and boy did it turn heads!!! My kids loved pillioning as we would mono from every set of lights with full sound , I am actually amazed I was never pulled over from noise just breath testing and of cause that dreaded S word.
It was great on the track at the creek 260 plus down the straight then tip it in at turn 1 over 200, what a buzz!!!
I use to love riding it up the old road and had travelled 3 times to phillip island on it via everywhere (average 3000 klms a trip) It met its grief however after my Dad decided to die new years day 2002 and I had been asked to go to his study a few months later to find some things for mum. Their house is on the central coast and I was forced onto the old road (I wanted the most direct route home) on the way home cause there was a massive traffic jam, its funny I really wasnt in the mood for riding yet every car was moving over for me so I headed into a 45klm corner thinking about dad, went a bit wide and tipped it in , hit some gravel on the edge and I ended surfing down the road on my belly and back and alas the tls decided it would hit the armco upright. The Hyabusa was born!!!!!
But you know if I could have two bikes I wouldnt hesitate getting another TLs It was just plain FUN!!!!!!!!:
