Newbie

Hi there! I am new to this forum and am looking for info on these bikes. I am in the market and just trying to find more info on the pros and cons of these machines. I want a cool bike to ride but will occasionally be having a passenger so I wondered if that was feasible or not... Thanks!!!

The R is the way to go. It depends on which one you like. Naked or dressed.
Welcome.

welcome, all the cool kids have R's
I personally love owning a TL because they are a one of a kind machine, not every squid on the block has one. I go 2up a couple times a month with no issues if thats a concern. Cons to them would have to be that they are not in production, which doesnt mean much except if you want the latest and greatest you get to do the mods youself. Do be careful when shopping for one, just as with anything you buy used, there are plenty of perfect TL's out there.

welcomw. I got the R and love how everyone thinks its a GSXR. it will give you an idea of how much some idiots out there think they know. al you have to do is tell them that its the V-twin model and see what they say...I hate riding with the old lady though. she dosent know how to ride at all and it dosent matter what I tell her.
