Sorry but I have tried to get on with my RSV Mille but much preferred my old TL1000, don't get me wrong, the RSV is a cracking bike but it just isn't doing it for me anymore.

can't help you with the swap - but I'm curious what you like about the TL? Always had a thing for the TL but haven't ridden one

The TL is wider and more comfortable for me, it's also challenging to ride as it's so unpredictable, I loved my old one and haven't really gelled with this RSV I find I get battered about by the wind no matter what position I'm in, never had that with the TL

I love the RSV but I can't quite jell with it, but I'm prepared to put up with that. I've got some falco bars to try and sort it, I had a vtr firestorm and love it jelled with it could ride the wheels off it. Try a difference screen for more protection ???

I put a small areo foil screen on my bike from HPS, this lifted the airflow away from my head & the bike was transformed from a tiresome ride to a fun ride again for 69 quid? I think.

the TL can be best described as challenging at worst lethal, some people love them, this one on ebay is the nicest I’ve seen but £5250 !!! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TL1000R-SUZUKI-MINT-LOW-MILES-SPECIAL-LOTS-OF-UPGRADES-ONLY-10477mls-tl1000-tlr-/271641379967?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item3f3f16847f |

Owning a TL is on my "bucket list" ......a reputation blown out of proportion maybe , but blowing my own trumpet for a minute I reckon that if I can thrash a Firestorm around in the top third of an inters group I can tame a TL.

TLs are great bikes, nothing like their reputation , put a good shock on the back and away you go
a lot of bike for very little money !!!

Do it! I miss my old one and the whole unpredictable handling but my god when it was behaving it was immense!! The rotary rear shocker let's it down though, a few times I was nearly bounced off my seat. |

That looks very clean, I have always loved the front of the tlr but not the duck tail. I have seen one with a k4 seat unit on and thought it suited it well.

The sp1 is a nice seat unit as well I think it would suit the tlr.

Funny but I think that tail really works,I prefer it to the Mille fat ar*e version.
I always fancied a late R,one of my mates had one of the last ones ever made and he used to say it was so some much fun he couldn't believe it was legal. |

That's a nice bike pal.
JHS racing do load's of stuff to and for them don't they. If you ever need some front forks i have a set including the yokes and spindle/spacers. I would swap you £120 for them if you ever need to. Are them Scorps with or without DB killers ? They shake your chest when they don't have them in,sound like cannons .

I used to be uncertain , but now i'm not sure anymore

I remember my TLR, when I first bought it I took it to have cans fitted and be remapped on a rolling road, it made 119 bhp, when I came home the Good Mrs Gazza thought there was a helicopter landing in the field opposite the house and came out to look, but no it was a bright yellow TLR, made 105 db.
