Probably 115-120+ for the older models with 70+ torque but more knowledgeable owners on here will be able to tell you more accurately. I think the TL's are much heavier bikes than the mille. I've never ridden one so can't comment on comparisons with the mille :dunno
Got any pics or details of your prospective buy :dunno

Hi, I was in the notion to change a few year ago from a 2001 tl1000 to an RSV millie, took the millie for a run and loved it, its a lot lighter than the TL and goes really well. As a result i bought the 03 millie and couldnt bear to part with the TL so I still have both bikes and ride them turn about. The torque of the v twin is fantastic, go ahead buy the RSV, they got sole man !
I had a 954 and went to a Mille! Never looked back, far more fun and has character.
I'd say that Mille is worth no more than £3k max though.
Mine (03) has 120RWHP and 73Ftlbs, they are "more useable" in the real world than a high revving IL4 but I have to say the 954 with an ohlins on the rear is a fine handling bike.
