Yep, I had one back in 1998 when they first came out. Was taking my GSXR600 in for a service and my dealer had one of the first TL's in the country just arrive.
Didnt even bother getting the 600 serviced, just traded it in on the spot for the TL!
Awesome bike and awesome sounding. Took a while to get used to riding it as it was heavy compared to the 600 but loved it in the end.
