I had a early Tl1000S one of the first 1000 imported into this country. (The bike and I had an agreement I wouldn't wrap it round a tree if it didn't try to kill me) not sure if it was the agreement or they were much better than it was ever given credit for by those who couldn't handle it. I had 3 years of great fun on mine but also a few trouser staining moments but usually my fault. Biggest problem with them was rear suspension used to lock up if you pushed hard round the twisties, and made life interesting steering damper calmed the tank slappers down a bit but treated with a bit of respect it was one hell of a bike
