Sold! 13th July, for £3650 in crisp cash!

I am selling my TL1000R due to the fact I am not going to be in a position to ride it for a long long time, and I cannot see the point in just keeping it standing there and after the amount of work that has been done to the gearbox I would rather it was out and being used. I bought the bike back in Jan, from a private seller I did a HPI check on it at the time and it was clear I still have that cert. and am happy to show it (or any of the paperwork) to anyone, or any HPI checks are welcome and it has nothing at all ever to hide on it.

Since I bought the bike I firstly added a set of Remus Exhausts, they are titanium oval exhausts with removable baffles so they can be road (they are marked legally) or race by simply removing the allen bolt holding the baffle in Very Happy

. I have also (at considerable expense to myself) had the entire gearbox replaced as it was slightly slipping out of gear. It also had new camchain tensioners put in and new gear selector forks. I did this work mainly as I was planning on keeping the bike for a long time and as it was such an enjoyable bike to ride I saw it as worthwhile, and if you ride onr of these you will understand why Smile

. Unfortunatly for me things have since changed and I won't be in a situation to be using the roads for a long long time Sad

.

This is not your standard run of the mill bike which has had a set of bolt on race cans fitted, the modifactions to it are benefical and the full list of modifactions can be seen below:

Ohlins rear shock
Gillies rearsets
Remus titanium oval exhausts
Hel braided brake lines
Carbo Loraine brake pads
New front brake discs
Pyramid double bubble screen
Pyramid rear hugger
JMV undertray
Mini indicators (front and rear)
Airbox modifaction (as standard it is restrictive)
Timing retard eliminator
Datatool veto plus alarm/immobilizer
DiD gold X-ring chain
Talon sprockets
Bagster tankbag
Bagster tank cover
Pillion grab rail/ luggage rack
Pillion seat & seat hump
Polished wheels
Upgraded Nissin master brake cylinder

As well as the gearbox work done, I recently had the fork seals replaced as well these were changed for genuine Suzuki parts. I am also including with the bike a set of R&G crash mushrooms which are new and still in thier packet as I never got around to fitting them. It also has a set of R&G paddock stand bobbins fitted which I'll be including with it. I also have a spare (unused Laughing

) K&N oil filter as I was planning on doing an oil & filter change but these were both done recently when the gearbox work was done.

The gearbox work was done by an offical Suzuki garage, and the work was carried out by the "Suzuki Technition of the Year". The bike has also been setup on a Dyno for the modifactions which have been done.

I have the HPI cert. from when I bought the bike earlier this year, and am more than happy to show it to anyone who is interested, or for you to do your own HPI check on it as I have nothing to hide. I can dig out details/ paperwork of the loan which I took out to buy it with so you can also see if you are interested that it does not have finance on it, and it has never been written off (or crashed at all for that matter Smile

).

The bike was MOT'ed just before I got it, so there is the MOT valid until early next year, but it passed really easily then and there is nothing at all which would cause it to not pass with flying colours. It has tax on it till about early Feb. next year. It has a full size legal plate, and I will also include with it 8x2 plate which I have for it (not to be used unless you want to be given a ticket I would expect Laughing

). It has a full toolkit secured under the pillion seat/ seat hump.

I am open to sensible offers on this bike, and although I have spent more than I will get back on this bike, I would prefer that it is being used and enjoyed rather than just sitting in my garage gathering dust as a large paperweight which is all I'll be able to do with it for some time Sad

. No sensible offer will be turned down, but please make sure it is a sensible offer. This bike will not have engine problems in the near future, it has pretty much every performance modifaction done to it which is possible and it will not let you down and it will always put a smile onto your face everytime you ride it.

Please send me an email to stephen@okas.co.uk and I will reply as soon as possible. I am still in hospital, and am now being allowed out some days for home visits so I am not ignoring you I am simply not able to reply at some points Sad

.

note: The photos show the bike before I bought it, it now has different exhausts, and the previous owner took some of them before he polished the wheels but other then that it look exactly how it does in the photos. I'll take some current photos of it when I'm at home and able to.

Somebody was made rich from your spending ay ste. I did see one of these parked up locally the other day, pretty much exactly the same as yours and I fell in love with it. My mates are the same, but as always, I WISH I HAD MONEY! Good luck though Thumbs Up

Ste, can you let me know roughly how much you want for it, as I know someone who may be interested. You can send me a PM if you don't want to put a figure on here.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

The auction has now ended, but it has not sold as it was someone I had bidding on it for me due to not setting a reserve price. It is still forsale if people are interested and now I'm out of hospital stuff like viewing and general stuff is made a lot easier.

I'd say out it at £4,200 to leave room for haggling, put that price and people will automatically try and haggle you down to 4k! Very Happy

It's up on eBay again, wonder if it will actually go high enough as I can now deal with people asking to come and view it. Smile

Jammy-G why did you rate ste's post as redundant?

He is trying to sell his bike, regardless of whether you are interested in it or not he posted it in exchange & mart so there is no reason at all for it to be rated down.
