Year: 2003
Color: Orange / Black
Mileage: 2000
Overall Rating: 9/10
Modifications: bar ends, triumph off road pipes, ventura grab rail / sport rack combo, fork gaiters
Owner Height/Weight: 175, 6'2"
Problems / Resolutions: seems to be a bit tough to start when it's sat for more than a week, or is cold. I got a freshly charged/watered battery now, but maybe a new one is in order. That said, it always starts, so its a minor complaint.
Owner Review: I love this bike. Had a 98 TBS, and as cool as the double pipes looked, I like the 1:1 better now- certainly makes putting panniers on it more of an option.
All the same opinions basically- the seat is a little rough for long rides, but not too bad. I wouldn't mind a touch larger fuel tank. Also, minor in a well planned ride.
The look is great, lots of charachter. Being 6'2" this bike fits me well. A lot of bikes feel too small with long legs, I feel like I've got plenty of room to be comfy on my TBS. Only other downside, is with any out of production bikes you need to keep up on parts availability. I plan to keep this one forever.
