FZRSupport: the FZROnline Archive

sold my 929 today for 4K cash. not bad i bought it for 4K 2 years ago.

found a 01 TL1000s 6K miles 3600 OBO all stock
found a 01 TL1000r 26K miles all modded out 3200 OBO needs 1 fairing painted, owner dropped it andbought a new one.

I would go for the TLR if it were me.

Neither, wait for an R1

a TLR is on my wish list but just before that is a thunderace, they're pretty rare since they were a one year model over here but parts aren't a problem since it shared a lot of parts with the fzr1000. You can sometimes find them for about the same pricing as the TLR and the performance is similiar with the thunderace being a little quicker and more forgiving in the handling department.

Wild thought ... oh, perhaps ... An FZR??

The TL-S got a bad rep for beeing unstable/slap happy. So when Suzuki released the TL-R thay had sloved down the stering to make it more stable. It mantained the wierd rotary damper thingy,insted of a normal rear-shock. You can get an aftermarket shock that is said to be a LOT better than stock.
I like the S better but it is a bike that need a few upgrates to make it a good road/track bike. The R is too heavy compared to the S. That and the slow steering makes this a no brainer for me.

second that on the R1

I would have kept the 929... bet that was a fun bike.

wow never thought I would see the day aaron. Then again I didn't expect to see you trash the fzr either.

the S is obviously a garage queen!

929 was top heavy, looking at a 02 gsxr1000 and a rc51. if nothing else a 954 cuz they feel ballanced better.

The rc51 is one of the sexiest bikes ever build. Pure HRC just like the rc30 and rc45. I would buy one if I could.

well, if you get a TL I hope you don't plan on doing any wheelies...those motors are known to go poof if you hold a wheelie longer then a few seconds.

i dont like the TLR or thr TLS after sitting on them. they are huge fat overweight pigs...makes the RC51 feel like a mini bike...its RC51 for me if i go vtwin, if not ill pic up an old GSXR750 srad and make it a stunt bike.
