What things have gone wrong with the car?

My gas tank needed to be resealed from the bottom by the fuel pump. This is a simple gasket fix or equivalent.

Rear seat or cowl loose. This just needs to be adjusted by the latch.
General comments?

The TL1000R is a great motorcycle. It has the speed, the torque, and the adrenaline rush motorcycle fanatics crave.

Even though the motorcycle is heavier in comparison to its competitors, it has the capability to keep up or outrun. As experienced motorcyclists know, its not the bike, but the rider. However, to be able to throw this bike around you must have the size. I am 6'4'' and 270lbs. Many of my friends can't handle it!

Your size doesn't matter here, it is the experience (My 5th bike and 12 years on sport-bikes). I am only 5'10" 185 lbs. and I tear up the asphalt with this bike. Shift from first to 2nd in the middle of the power-band and just ride out all of 2nd in a wheelie. I can get my bike almost scraping on some turns and I only ride it on the street (That is with a passenger too). This beast rocks!

I agree with the man above me! I'm 5'11'' and 165 lbs, I throw this bike to the GROUND at any speed and feel the weight of the bike is responsible for its stability and perfect balance. I can actually roll backwards down hill without dropping a foot due to the PERFECT balance of this motorcycle. **Always remember** In a world of dainty and small sportbikes, THE FAT GIRLS NEED LOVIN TOO!!! (They'll do you right everytime;)

The Tl1000R, like all Sport Bikes, is only as fast as the rider is willing to push the envelope. True, the latest crop of litre bikes are lighter and more powerful, but ask any owner of a Tiller with the complimentary modifications (Power Commander, Full Yosh exhaust, sprockets, and dropping the nose to quicken the steering) and you'll find out that the TL is capable of not only keeping pace, but when conditions are favorable, out gun about anything rolling.

Now on the other hand, the TL is heavy and requires you to man handle the beast. Stepping off of a Yamaha R-1 onto the Tiller, the R-1 feels like a very fast dirt bike, the TL feels like (Forgive me fellow Tiller owners) a ZX-12 that handles. All true fans of the Tiller know the advantages of the V-Twins broad torque curve, (even if it is down on horse power compared to in-line fours). Once you've ridden a Sporting V-Twin, and felt that seat of the pants feeling of having torque everywhere, and a exhaust note that turns heads, you'll be hooked.

I agree with all said. I have an 02 tiller, I'm only 5'7" and 185 and I love to toss this bike into turns. In trying to find this bike, I rode a busa, gixxer 1000 and a cbr 954, and while they have their respective place (the gixxer was the most fun of the three), nothing brought a smile to my face like the raw sound of the v twin. Torque everywhere, and I felt like I was holding it back rather than making it go. She sounds angry and has the walk to back up the talk.

While you are going to spend a little more in aftermarket (than others) getting this bike to where it was meant to be... it's well, well worth it. I'll take (and have) anyone who tempts, and unless you are planning on doing a top end race at 170+ or whatever insane speed (see you in the morgue), you won't find much that will keep up.
