Produced from 1998 to 2004, the Suzuki TL1000R has something of a legendary reputation in the superbike world, as for some inexperienced (or uncourageous) riders it was a bit too hot to handle. An evolution of the TL1000, MCN praised its 135bhp, 996cc engine as “one of the truly great V-twins,” and it featured an improved rear shock absorber of a unique rotary design. Other features included an aluminium twin-beam frame and six-pot Tokico brakes. Generally regarded as a wild beast to be tamed, TL1000s enjoy a cult following among superbike connoisseurs.

This 1999 TL1000R is in particularly nice condition, having had just four owners and covered a little over 43,000 miles from new. In single ownership from 2009 to 2025 but last on the road in 2014, it spent that time in a collection of ’90s superbikes. Benefiting from a recent paintwork refresh, it also comes equipped with Micron exhausts and Harris rear-sets. It surely represents the superbike enthusiast’s ideal, but some light recommissioning will be required. It is supplied with the current V5C. As we look ahead to the days growing longer and the weather improving, we can think of no finer way of enjoying some high-speed thrill this summer.
