    So the American Suzuki website shows a TL-R for next year. Color scheme is slightly changed only. What happened to all the rumors of a new replacement, or is that the SV1000?

    I may just have to pick up a 2003 if it's that much better. Otherwise, why change from a previous model?

    The replacement is the SV1k. Dunno why the TLR still exists unless it's just cuz they had a bunch.

    I'll just have to stick with my 1998 TLR until either 1). They come out with the KTM 999 superbike or 2). My TLR becomes vintage legal.

    Why are you guys concerned about the Heavyweight class going away? Wouldn't the SV1000 just be replacing the TL's on the grid?

    The cup race stuff is not my call, it's Suzuki's. Odds are good we won't know for sure until at least the GNF if not even longer.
