I love it but what is it?  Honda liter twin, right?  No oil coolers (or are they aux rads) like the superhawk...

Those rotors are trick.

I think its an MZ, but the frame doesn't match exactly.

You goin' blind there, Rob & Dog?

 :duh: You boys can't see the "SUZUKI" logo on the clutch cover?

It's a TL-1000S based streetfighter.

I must be getting old - I can tell there's something there but it could say Honda as easily as Suzuki to me.   :duh:

I thought the TL bikes both used the same frame with the ram air holes through it like the GSXRs.

Nope, the TL-R has a GSXR looking frame while the TL-S has one that looks more like the 1G SV650. The Tiller also has a braced swingarm.

I opened up the streetfighter shot to look at the shadows, and noticed the radiator is mounted off-center to the right (the top-left corner appears to be 'digging" into the inside left fork from the image perspective). I assume that's how it was mounted under the original fairing where no one would notice? Or is that a bad hack job?

If you want to see for yourself, open up the image in any image viewer/editor that let's you open up the image's gamma, and have a look. If you don't have such a program, the freebie IrfanView will do the trick under "Image, Enhance Colors":

So, am I seeing things, or that really canted to the side like that?

just happened to stumbled across this...

That bike belongs to Artkore on www.tlzone.net.  It's a Suzuki TL1000S.

I sure hope someone else isn't trying to pass it off as their bike... :duh:

I'm trying to convince him to buy one of my single side swingarm kits...

There's very little "show" about that bike.  It's built all business.
