You want buy it or sell it? I’m confused…

TL1000…ah yes…ye olde tank slapper.

Great fun but madder than Mad jack McMadd

Me too. It speaks to my inner suicidal nutter.

He want’s it… quote is the advert he lifted it from.

The bike that bites!!! The SV for men! pmsl!

I wanna buy it . . . theres just the small matter of having bought the Ducati 3 months ago . . .

Winner of last years ‘Mr Mad’ contest?

its got a steering damper though, and sounds fecking awesome

hmmmm, whered u see it advertised?
haha

Get away from her you bitch !

Nice bike, but you want a 97 rather (they have madder ECU’s than the rest) with a proper shock and forks done for that money with that mileage - at 28k that gearbox may not have too long to live if it hasn’t been looked after i.e. no wheelies, etc. Its worth looking around for a low mileage 97. Did I mention the set of TL Marvics in my garage…

LOL your a nutter. They call TL’s the WIDOW MAKER for a reason

Ok . . . so now I REALLY want it . . . . . . . and gridgirl will tell you how bad I get when I’m fixated with something

i’ll make buy it,

IM LOOKING FOR A NEW BIKE AND I HAVE CASH !!!

although i do like the TL1000R more.

as the duc i was after was sold

LOL, then the TL is the bike for you. Be warned that the spending won’t end with buying the bike… TL’s are nirvana for peeps who like to fettle!

Spoken to the dealer . . . He says he’s selling it without a warranty . . . and according to Parkers guide it’s about £300 under value . . . tho he did say it would benefit from new tyres

Should the alarm bells be deafening me by now?

Hey egypt

Not sure what I’m gonna do yet but are you saying you’re potentially interested in my Ducati?

JZ

no mate i was after the 853 one that was for sale it has been sold now.

im just seeing whats about im looking at a clean zx7r at mo,

but may wait to winter is over now.

about the TL it all depends on what the shop payed for it if it not a main dealer they can knock it out cheaper,but you may have probs if it starts playing up.

they have a good strong engine,abit twitchy on the gas in corners but that is not going to be a prob for you at the mo.also if its an early it will be 125bhp if not i think they dropped to 112ish

good tyres are about £200ish and the extra on you insurance it will cost you more in the long run at the mo,just check and see what the insurance componys says before you get your hopes up to much mate.

what is the milage not that it really matters as long as it has had good oil in it and changed regurly

Think its about 28k miles. The guy says he’d do a set of Michelins for £150.

Optimum performance isnt something I need worry about. I just want a reliable, nice looking bike that has a fair bit of grunt when needed.

Damn that TL and its seductive curves

nice looking bike just looked at there website,why dont you and gridgirl take a run up to have a look at see what paper work its got,it is a cheap bike.

its a lot of bike for the money.

they seem to have a few bikes up there so go fill your boots

The two main problems to look for are 1) the gearbox (usually 3rd goes first), and 2) the big end. Do not worry about a noisy “clacking” motor, they all do that. If he isn’t giving a warranty, it is the same as buying private, so have a look and see what you can get for the same money privately - specifically look for bikes with aftermarket suspension, forks done, pc2’s, cans and aftermarket steering dampers. Also look at the frame near the rear shock’s top mount and inspect for cracks in the frame.
