I've had driven this model from 1991-1997 as a woman before I got my first child: it is a perfect machine easy to care for IT as a woman. Easy in handling for long tours inclusive mountain ways in Europe 😊. Repeating repair problems: Oil and very low tank volume for long road trips.

I bought one new in 82. Put on cafe racer bars, had a tank bag and 2 saddle bags. Loved that bike if I had money I would buy another.

I've got the XLR 500. This bike would have benefited from using the FT 500 unit !

Today I hired a rental van to pick up a pristine FT500 ! Allready had 3 of them in the past. Very rare to be able to buy one that is not been chopped up, but still original !

What’s the last four of your vin? Mine is 0618. Trying to figure out the highest VIN and figure out how many were made. 1100 is the highest I’ve seen.

List price was somewhere north of $2K but they sat in inventory. By the 83 model year you could buy a brand new 82 for $995. I got a red one and a buddy bought a black one. Mine did the beginner bike thing and was replaced before the third set of tires but my buddy commuted his and put serious miles on it. Honda replaced the head gasket twice (oil leaks) and the exhaust pipe once (broken rattling inner pipe in the double wall head pipe) under warranty. They’d have been money ahead to throw that one in the dumpster while still in the box. They were fun but quirky and certainly worthy of an upgrade. My next bike was a lightly used 77 Suzuki GS 750-THAT was a keeper.

Put a Hayabusa radial front end in mine , got rid of the stock damper and spring and added a Bitubo adjustable rear shock. Now so much better in and out of corners. Added a Power commander and had it tuned. Welded clutch centre to get rid of that annoying play in the clutch and converted the cable clutch to hydraulic.

The TL-S is what made me fall in love with the SV. A pilot in my Harrier squadron had a naked TL, and it was a sick bike. Still love these gorgeous machines.

Compete with new bikes??? On the road yes of course! I race with big bang Yamaha, and it was fun. About fancy dash? Then No. Thats it. Love it tourqe, irregular trottle respond. Sound Amaizing. Sv1000s is like honda 50cc compare with tl1000s. I have2 of them. Tl is amazing. I still think rotary damper works good for me. Maybe because I live in Ireland. Good lock

@marcoss6212 Жыл бұрын

I did also. 98 TL1000s, black with the S on the tank in red, the rest of logo was white. That bike almost killed me, my own fault of course, broke right leg in 3 parts (almost lost it) and nothing else, had full leathers on. Very deceiving power mid/high range if that's a way to describe it, first couple of times I rode it got totally surprised and a little scary, but got used to it. Loved every second I rode it, but this is was not a beginner's bike. Once you pass 95 mph on the highway the front tire started to shake a little so I changed the steering damper and was fine after that more or less. In essence, best bike I ever had, as you said, with all its quirks. As soon as I could walk on canes after recoup, fixed it and back on it until I sold it. I always knew what I had between my legs and how to deal with it, big fan v-twin bikes, wish I could find one in good conditions to buy it again, but my wife wouldn't let me tho, I'm 63.

Nice ride ~ I've also got a 97' TL1000S \m/ Mine just got a custom Red and White paint job, and too many extras to list here. I put a carbon fiber belly pan and front/rear hugger on it, and I did get the rear damper conversion and forks done. . It feels as safe as any other death machine I've ever owned ;p And these bikes get compliments everywhere. Sure, it's not the fastest, but it's got style and character for days. I bought mine with a full Yosi Exhaust, but I replaced it with Akrapovic. I'm still not satisfied, looking at grabbing M4 or Pipewerx cans. I want a more tame idle so I can hear when I'm stopped, until I give it the beans of course ~

@TheVaughan5 Жыл бұрын

Love those U.S. colours. The reason why they are getting more popular and increasing in value is because they are in many ways the best sports bikes ever made for the public at an affordable price. I’ve owned both models sp1 and sp2 and to be honest haven’t noticed any dramatic difference. apart from the suspension being a bit more harsh on the sp1 even after adjustments. I wouldn’t consider buying anything else.

Altho trying to take off fast from standing still is not easy as all it wants to do is go up 😅 in 1st,2nd,3rd and even 4th ... Had it upto 280 kph ( and it still had heaps more there ) tonight in light raining an windy conditions never got tank slap once , And that's running no front steering damper at the moment ... Yes that's pretty stupid of me ...
