A True Collectible V-Twin Superbike

The 1998 TL1000R features one of the great V-twin engines of its time, wrapped in a notoriously exciting chassis. The upgraded shock in this model tames the unpredictability found in the TL1000S, making it a better all-round ride while still retaining that raw V-twin character.

These first-year TLRs are following a similar appreciation curve to the 1999 Hayabusa, making this a smart buy for collectors or V-twin enthusiasts.
