Suzuki Other description

These are great bikes and I purchased this one a while back to have as a second bike but I almost never ride it and it needs to go somewhere that it will see some use. My other bike is another 97 TLS that I've owned for 7 years and have done a ton of work to, so having two is just not needed.

Only 10k miles, I purchased from the original owner and haven't used it hardly at all - less than 200 miles. Runs great - probably stronger than my other TL, Yoshimura bolt-on exhaust, K&N filter, otherwise stock. Just got it back from the painters - painted a really nice gunmetal gray that was done very nicely.

Tires probably have 50% life left, front brakes were just bled, fresh oil change, chain was just adjusted/lubed. Ready to ride! Great shape. It's hard to find a clean example of these TL's with such low mileage!

Updated Pictures! This is the probably the most "purple" hue I've ever seen out of the paint. I think it was just the way that the camera captured the color with it being a very sunny day like it was. Refer to the last picture for what I'd consider to be the truest representation of the color. It is definitely a gunmetal grey, not purple at all.

I do have a lot of spare TL parts from owning them for the past 7 years - If there's anything you need or would like to go with the bike just let me know and we can make it happen.

Forgot to mention - TB's just synchronized, brand new spark plugs, and upgraded to coils from a 2008 SV650 (direct swap but a better spark)

The only things that aren't in GREAT shape about the bike:

- Tiny slit in the riders seat - 1/4" long.

- The Yoshi cans are in fair condition - If I were keeping the bike I would refinish them, but I'll leave that choice (finish type, color, etc...) up to the buyer.

- Small scuff on the side cover

- The windscreen is a bit hazy and has some light scuffs. It's condition can be seen from the pictures.

Keep in mind, this is a USED bike. In listing those things I'm trying to be explicit about everything with the bike so that I am fully representing the condition of the bike. It really is in great shape and I think whoever buys this bike will be extremely pleased with it.

Surely more wins are on the cards for Seeley and the 2011 Gixer?

Thu, 02 Jun 2011

The amazing Alex Lowes is deservedly grabbing all the attention in the BSB paddock at the moment, but I believe last year’s top Superbike rookie, Alistair Seeley is doing an equally impressive job in the Supersport class. Although he looks ten years younger, thirty one year old Seeley is riding one of only two 2011 600 GSXRs (fellow countryman Marty Nutt is on the other) in the class. Alistair has finished on the podium four times including a race win at the opening Brand Hatch round and currently lies second in the championship. He also took victory on the Gixer in the only race run at the North West 200 last month and was looking like the runaway winner last Sunday at Thruxton until electrical gremlins struck after opening up a seven second lead.

It was good to catch up with my old mate Daryl Beattie last weekend in Misano. Daryl was pushing Mick Doohan hard for the 500cc World Championship in 1995 until he high sided and broke his collar bone in Assen mid way through the year. He eventually finished runner up in the series but then some fairly big tumbles from his Lucky Strike Suzuki in 1996 brought his career to a premature end.
