My TLR was STOLEN!!! F#$&*%@$! This past saturday night, i left her parked out on the street in front of my place cause i'd been riding all day and planned to go out later that night. I almost never park out there because car theft is big around here and because i have a secure parking spot in a garage under my building. I left her on a busy street, right below the window of my condo and figure i would have heard if somebody where to start her because the full M4's are booming loud. I went out later and she was GONE.... -- TL1000 SV1000 Message Board

I figure it must have been a pro who put her in a van or something.
I had tons of time and money into this bike and will probably never get fair value back from my insurance company, but will get as many together receipts to see what i can do.
I checked ebay and will continue to look for the hot parts on the web and in local autotrader mags.

So local Boston area guys, I'd be greatful if you could look out for a TLR that matches the following description, or for these parts being sold off... if you see any that are suspiciously close to these, please PM me so i can check it out:

2001 Suzuki TL1000R - yellow & black color scheme with abrasions on lower fairings both sides & scrape on battery panel; no-cut Bike Design frame sliders with scape on the left one; Intuitive white bar-sliders and swing-arm sliders; M4 full-system exhaust (polished alum.); BMG filter in modded 'troy-v' style airbox; PC-II; TRE; Pair-Valve removed; carbon fiber tank guard; Northwest Cycles carbon fiber rear hugger; cf-look flushmount signals (front), iridium-look signals in rear vent holes and small white signals on either side of plate in bottom of undertray;
Clear-Alternatives clear tail lens w/ LED bulbs; customized yellow-painted 'Hermit Dragon' undertray; trimmed subframe, 'gap-mod'; Goodrich steel-braided brakelines; Attack Performance Rear-sets; Ohlins rear shock.....

Man, i feel sick especially after listing all the mods i've done to her (pardon me while i go bang my head against the wall)!

I don't have any pics to post from here at work, i'll post some later if i get around to it.

I've had this bike since new, put just over 15,000 miles on it. I've been posting on the Blue-board, TLOC and Planet for several years now and learned a lot about this bike and really appreciated it.

This sux. I hate thieves.
I'm kicking myself for procrastinating on getting the new bike alarm that i've been contemplating... although i always did keep a Kryptonite bike lock on it.

Protect your bikes guys, cause just when you think it won't happen to you......GONE.
not sure what i'll do now.
