[@TheUsmc0802]

Amazing patience and skill. I would’ve freaked out, tried to pass everyone back in one turn, and crash. Man I still want a TLR!

[@Ian-bq7gp]

You are some rider, i dunno if its brilliance, having a screw loose or a bit of both but clearly youve got that pinned and leaned right over which takes some doin on any bike but on a widowmaker is hugely impressive. Ive known some hugely talented headcases in my 63 years but you take the biscuit. Take care matey, i really enjoyed this and its riders like yourself who race the IOM TT.

[@Ian-bq7gp]

I would luv one. We grew up on jap spagbol frames in the 70s and early 80s and even the 1955 BSA 650 pre unit handled better than any jap bike of the era and was better than the triumph bonneville especially with bonnys lockhead brakes forks yokes. Steady as a rock and a work of art those old BSA twin frames even the lovely rigid frame of 1949. The girder forks looked great but teles were better and the plunger frame was optional later. BSA made bthem out of the surplus gunmetal from WW2 and the braising was so beautifully done, as good as the new Norton 961 commandos.

Good vid m8 you are a very good rider.ive got a tlr good bikes and gsxr1000 but prefer tl has more character

[@paulqui3702]

I had a 2000 TL1000R. Looked great in blue and white and still does today! The top end was quite impressive for a twin, but I did not like the flat spots down low - especially off the line. Vibration was fairly controlled, the bike was stable, but the rear shock was soft - with little feedback to the rider. I have gone back to four's looking for a smoother ride.

[@DrCrunchyRiff]

a few mods solved all that for me.

[@TreadTalk247]

I love my TLR, gets more attention anywhere I go than my Gen 2 Busa or GSXR! Fun to ride too, diff power than the I-4’s but fun nonetheless!

[@FLGUY1976_2]

I just tuned mine made right adjustments to the front forks along with the rear.. and I had plenty of feedback. Full system tuned there is no flat spot and it's gearing changes for Conditions so I don't have those concerns

[@Mickael3152]

[@jbizzle1966]

This guy didn't have his revs up at the start. He got passed everybody. Only caught one guy. He got left behind in the straight ways

[@taylorsheridan5278]

I converted my Honda CR-Z hybrid to a tl-1000 motor that puts down about 170 but it’s the sounds and high revs making it amazing to drive. I’m onto my next project which is getting my tsx in the 11’s either turbo or tesla

[@jamesdean4992]

Well he does have a 200cc advantage if you you factor in that they allow vtwins to have 200 more cc's

[@MonstUrrwin]

+james dean ...what are you talking about?

[@jamesdean4992]

+MonstUrrwin meaning an 800 cc four cylinder would be equal to a 1000 twin so the 600 has a power disadvantage that's what I mean but it is more agile

[@bert603]

BAD ASS!!!!!

[@suprlite]

Dude, the inline fours have more horsepower than the tl even with less ccm. The tl wins because of more torque at lower rpm's.

[@user-zj4ui6hs9s]

good !!!!!!

[@mcozpda3392]

I will never understand why they discontinued the TL1000. if It was a great bike .. but i think it would put Gixers at risk ... Crown jewel ..cheers

[@mds1986ms]

Not only the GSXR but the busa came along at the same time. Couple that with the rear suspension everyone blames for them crashing the bike. And yeah for some reason they just gave up on it. I have an 02 TLR and she aint slow i can keep up with most modern liter bikes and out corner a lot of the 600s out there so i think it was a wasted bike that deserves to be revamp.

why is the bike shaking so much on some corners?

[@raketendaniel5396]

...on the brakes the rear wheel becomes light and a little unsteady, when accelerating out of the corner the front wheel becomes light and the bumpy track does the rest. And the camera has loosened...

[@ratxxx009]

As I understand? you bit them as you combined braking with engine and brakes? Because you did it only at crooks, did you?

[@thetemplar8695]

Not positive on his approach but I have a TL1000R, RC 51 and a 999 (that I’ve tracked) and being hit on the throttle immediately coming out of the corners would have taken 1/2 those guys in the beginning. My 999 is relentless coming out of corners and people have always not believed I didn’t have a full race motor (was bone stock with Termi pipe). So do you feel the TL is a lot “porkier” than other V-twins? (On the track)

[@raketendaniel5396]

If you modify the suspension, the TLR is a stable bike, especially on the brakes. And the engine is fun, even if from today's perspective it has far too little power for the racetrack.

[@thetemplar8695]

@@raketendaniel5396 Ya she does have a hella set of brakes up front, which I like (as I tend to trail brake or brake really late......bad habit from my racing days) but I surely saw why the TL was never really competitive, as compared to the 999 and RC51. My Duck is point and shoot and she (out of the crate) has been a dream. The RC51 took a little massaging, where I put in some stiffer fork springs, valve emulators, 4 into 1 pipe (+jetting) and some head porting. The TL I have really yet to delve into, so I’d be interested to know what mods you undertook. I also found it cool you were at like 3k when starting......while all the inline 4’s were rapping out. It’s like you were thinking......”It’s ok, I’ll pass you in a lap or two.” Haha 🤙

@@raketendaniel5396 wow that’s at least 20 HP increase then. I’d bet by going down a tooth on the front sprocket would feel like an extra 15 HP. I did it to my previous bike a ZZR 1100 D and it makes a big difference. I still saw 175 mph on the clocks but who needs that on public roads. It’s how it got to that speed with the shorter gearing that matters most. I’m going to do the same for my TLR. It will probably show 170mph on the clocks after the sprocket mod and that’s enough for me on the roads😉 what you had done was expensive but the sprocket mid is cheap. Thanks buddy👍
