Is it just me or is that a largely standard TLR with huge amounts of stick on carbon? I'm not convinced the tank is carbon, and the swing arm has carbon stickers all over it.

I think it may well be worth a lot less than you'd imagine. The screen for instance I swear I can see a carbon pattern stuck over the top.

If the fairings are full carbon they're worth a bob or 2, but no money's been spent where I'd expect it on a properly expensive TLR (Wheels are stock as are suspension & brakes). The Halfords metal mesh on the fairing ducts also suggest this may be a rather DIY effort.

I'll pass cheers

Lol if they've gone to the effort of proper carbon fibre then it's cool, stick on carbon doesn't count.

Anybody shunning DIY carbon fibre should take a look at tygaboys carbon fibre tank built for zoran of TWF's race bike and rethink matters.

Thats a carbon tank on the TL1000R, can't remember where you can get it all from in the UK now. Hmm.. giving me some ideas for the track bike!

All that carbon and yet the engine is standard, along with the exhaust (except the bolt-on cans obviously).

"These bikes are becoming rare and piling on the mileage, so now's the time to own this cult bike. You will never go back to 4 stroke!"

What a way to make yourself sound like you don't have a clue about bikes, whilst attempting to convince people they should buy yours.
Stickered up standard bikes are like "max-powered", bodykitted, smoked-lensed, tinted windowed cars. Not the sort of thing I think is at all worthwhile. Why spend a penny on a TL without addressing the suspension issue?
