I had an 04 RSV Factory which was basically the same engine as Falco, Futura. It was a nice bike but after a couple of years I was quite happy to lose 30% and buy a fireblade.
Everything I've read says Suzuki had a hit with the TL1000 motor - pity 'bout the chassis though. I've just found out one of our reps at work has one he has thrown £££££££s at, including a complete revamp of the rear suspension set up, and a not-very-mild engine tune. He's supposed to be e-mailing me a pic of it soon. Track-only bike. I'll get him to list the complete spec too, as it sounds like a proper monster!
