Is this supposed to be a twin SS? I know nothing about the TL. What's the appeal?

Suzuki builds v-twin superbike to compete with Ducati. It flops as a top-level race platform, the RC51 becomes the spaghetti-eating godzilla twin, and the TLR becomes the the beauty pageant dropout that had so much potential but is now usually seen at Crocodile Rock, drunk off her face (developing a bit of a reputation as a widow maker). Eventually she cleans up her act, gets rid of her rotary damper STD and someone settles down with her. She ends up being a really fun street bike.

+1, if you get an older one and immediately replace the rotary damper, you actually have a poor-man's big Duke.

no rearview mirrors but it has front turnsignals ....these stupid concept bikes are always drawn up by art fags who have never actually ridden a real motorcycle

ALL of the bikes featured on bike Exif don't have turnsignals or mirrors.

Yes, all artist are homosexuals, ask your boyfriend to validate this.

You guys forgot the small tank and it sucked petrol like a smack whore on the pipe. 200km mebbe if you took it easy or really leaned it out.

And if we are salivating over vaporware...yes please. It even has signals AND mirrors!

 

[zeniceguy]

i like them and would buy

You can't see in person what doesn't exist

I see what you're saying!

You know that two strokes still have crankcase oil.... right?

WHAT'S that now??

This is GTAM..no one knows how bikes actually work.

And yes, two-stroke transmissions are lubricated by oil, not the oil/gas mix, and yes, two strokes have oil tanks, and yes, you can start two stroke with an electric starter.

But no, you will never see a two-stroke in production again.

...and the reason why you don't see "art fag" preproduction renders with mirrors and signals is because those are different by different regions of the world.

Copy or not the tl looked better than the 996 in 1999.

I think the 966 is the ugliest bike ever made.

Well, I am looking for a new bike.
If the TLS comes out in 2014, I'm buying.
Maybe even a TLR.

Widow maker. One dude dies in front of his wife in her car and the bike was finished.
That was fine with me. You could buy them cheap.
It wasn't the stock rotary damper that made it dangerous.

Many would disagree. That bike also influenced many Japanese designs, it was also the featured ride of Trinity in the Matrix. Very collectible and wanted.

MCN did a feature on "killer bikes", and they mentioned the TL1000 for it's wheelies and mediocre brakes, plus the damper.

Another rendering. Nice concept. I've always loved the old TL. I'd buy a new one if they brought it back.

Yeah great concept, too bad they didnt take the time to find the proper rear wheel...Thats a single sided wheel from a ducati on a swingarm that isnt single sided....

 

[MTRCYCLS]

2014 TLR:

Id be ALLLLLLL over that!

 

[Rossi86]

This is THE new 2014 TLR1000, SV1000, SV650, GSX-R600, GSX-R750, GSX-R1000, GS500 etc etc

 

[Low rider]

And what about the damper?

[omnivore]

They gonna put 20" wheels on bikes now, just so we can say "dubs" at Timmies? LMAO
