gump1376 Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Sell it and get the TLR! ;-)In all honesty, I'd say keep it and just work on the suspension. As I'm sure you'll know, better suspension = better bike (almost like new with the TL). After putting the Ohlins rear shock and the Ohlins valve kit (rebound and compression) with the Racetech springs... it's a whole new bike. You can get both shock and valve kit still. PM me and I'll send you to the site to buy them new. If you've already done the whole suspension thing, then I'm not sure what to tell ya. Probably keep it, save up the $2K you'll prob get for it and then look for something newer that you'll want. Ducati, Aprillia, KTM... ya know... the good 'uns!

2talltim Posted August 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Where did you get the 40hp difference? Specs I find put the DL1000 at 105hp and the TL1000S at 125. Thats 20hp by my math http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_TL1000Shttp://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/bikereviews/searchresults/Bike-Reviews/Suzuki/Suzuki-DL1000-V-Strom-2002-current/Still a significant difference but not 40hp.They did a similar detuning to the DL650 from the SV650.CraigMaybe I'm wrong I swear I seen specs that said the strom was only putting down 80hp, maybe that was the 650 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
