Suzuki TL1000R ... a perfectly prepared racer for the Youngtimer class. With thunder sound.

If you want to support this channel, feel free to use the Super-Thanks Heart below the video.
Thank you!
-------------
The statement from Mr. Hiroshi Moritake, project leader for Suzuki's new TL1000R, left no doubt as to his company's intentions concerning their latest V-twin sportbike: "The concept behind the TL1000R is simple: Build a V-twin with the potential to win Superbike races."
But that never happened (except for the Bimota SB8 with this engine). He never became a WSBK winner, but is therefore a great choice for club racing in the Youngtimer class. The Suzuki TL1000R in this video is a fantastic example of how to turn an ugly duckling into a swan. Attention to detail is perfect.
And what about engine and all the beautiful details you may ask.
OK ... here is what I know about this yellow swan: engine is done by Sam Matthewman, British TL engine specialist ... JE pistons for healthy 1080 cc of "useful volume", original conrods and camshafts, alternator is removed, open airbox ... yes, engine is made with durability in first place.
The ECU is from Ignitech with a special mapping from MCE-Performance, power is about 150 HP on the clutch. Fine tuning is in process. Weight ... exactly 172 kg without gasoline. Those with a sharper eye will notice forged Aprilia RSVR wheels, but only a few great connoisseurs will recognize that this magnificent titanium exhaust is made by company Ladybird from Japan. The seat is made by Yannis from Greece. Yes, this is one very international Suzuki. Antihopping clutch will be installed for next season.

That is a beautifully presented Suzuki twin. The owner should be proud of himself.

[@robrogers4105]

just have to love the V-twin sound.

[@x-centric127]

Looks like the one we raced, 12 years ago. Love it, beast.

[@bommels_k2313]

Die Alstare-Corona Kombi - geil. Der Klang, die Perfektion (Radaufnahme, Schwinge...), herrlich! Btw., hat nen ziemlich hohes Standgas.

[@nicomjerry250]

Die Leerlaufdrehzahl wird auf Rennstrecken gern erhöht um Hinterradstempeln beim Runterschalten entgegenzuwirken (aus Zeiten vor den Anti-Hopping Kupplungen). Normalerweise hat die TL einen Leerlauf von 1200-1300 U/min, dann scheppert es auch nicht so wenn man aus dem Leerlauf den 1.Gang einlegt.

[@TouristTrophyDetroit]

I love everything about this bike.

[@t.s.racing]

Excellent Sir, 1 of my all time favorite bikes.

[@goran2003]

Good choice. Enjoy!

[@bobhenry5656]

thats a gorgeous TL. I got an 03 with tre, airbox mod, d & d exhaust that i am really not fond of, and a bunch of other things done. I love it. been my dream bike since 03 and ill never get rid of it.

[@goran2003]

Enjoy your bike!

[@FlyingTigersKMT]

This bike with a tune and dual Yoshimura exhausts sounds like a tank coming down the street.

Looks amazing!

[@richardbirch4115]

Looks fantastic, the front forks setup with the wheels is great. May I ask why the exhaust cans are so long? Is there some benefit to it?

[@goran2003]

Not that I know of ... they look very good, and their sound is specific... Cheers Richard!

[@019208237]

Nice👌does the more slimmer exhausts give better sound? I know the shorter cans do. I've a TLR with ART cans but I don't think they sound quite as menacing as this. It's hard to tell though as my speakers are from a phone.

[@goran2003]

Please ... use your headphones. This way you can hear "loud and clear". Also, watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/haq4ZX6Ar7ytfZI ... and this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGG5ZYWMnZebsJo TLR appears in both videos ... so you can hear it better maybe. And again ... use your headphones and watch this videos on bigger screen. Cheers!

Im sad to say I had never heard of these bikes until recently...i found one for sale and wondered "what is a TL1000R???"....started researching and have kinda fallen in love with them. Do you have any info on the rear shock upgrade(since that seems to be a weak point) and the front forks?

[@goran2003]

I do not have detailed info about (mandatory) suspension upgrades, but there is bunch of Suzuki forums on the Internet where you can get all the info you need. Cheers!

[@JeremiahHartmanPhotography]

@@goran2003 thank you! Yes ive seen all the different options..just wondered what that bike was running

[@woooster71]

Recently purchased a mint ‘99 TL-R with Yoshi’s… I also have an Aprilia RSV Factory with carbon Akrapovic’s, and the TL sounds quite a bit better 😎

I just pulled my TL race bike out of retirement and it hasn't been started in 20 years. I don't know what the hell I'm thinking I'm not 27 anymore I'm 57 LOL. I'm going to try and get it going to do some track days but man is parts hard to find

[@goran2003]

Yes ... do some track days for "warming up" ... and have fun! BTW ... owner and rider of this very TLR is also 57 years young. Cheers Richard!

Hi Fabio ... I do not have video "from the cockpit", and as far as I know, not even the owner of this motorcycle is filming rides. You can see this Suzuki during some classic racing events in Croatia and Austria. Cheers!

It's not mine, so I wouldn't be able to give you an exact answer. Cheers!

[@rm25088]

Are you on the TL forums? Looks like you have done a lot of custom work and mods, that only a true TL owner would know about. Where did you get that beautiful Arrow exhaust?

[@goran2003]

Hi Josh ... the owner of this beautifully prepared TLR is my friend from Austria, and I don't know if he is present on the forums. Regarding Arrow exhaust ... it is actually a Japanese Ladybird. More detail in YT video description ... Cheers!
