I'm not sure on the miles but I'm fairly sure it's well over 200k. Someone I know has an old Kawasaki XS650 I think ( correct me if u know what I'm on about ) and the engine has re built 7 times and it still goes strong

I had a TL1000R as my first bike. Yes, seriously!! This video bought back some great memories!! It was a crazy but great time - I rode a Honda 125 and 400 for my test and then two weeks after, won a TLR in a magazine competition with custom Suzuki race paint, Remus race cans, insurance and spare tyres. I did intermediate and advanced riding courses, to up my skillset and loved riding that bike. The torque and engine note were fantastic and as you saw, it would Wheely without much effort. I know some people complain about the weight and rear suspension but as I had no experience at that time, I just rode it like that was the way things were meant to be and I didn't hang about: When asked by a fellow instructor how I was getting on, my advanced instructor said "pretty #@&ing good - I was struggling to keep up with him at times". I don't know, I just gelled with that bike. I met a fellow TLR rider (Chris) at a local meet and we would ride out early on a Sunday morning - the sound of two V-twins blasting through the english countryside must have woken quite a few people (sorry). God I miss those days, my first bike and (as I've now had to give up due to poor health), being a biker!! Anyway, great memories and a great video - thank you 👍👍

I had the TL1000s that I bought new in 1997 in the U.K . It was a brute and I loved it .

@ianchapman86704 жыл бұрын
Loved my yellow TLR , 98 model. I had a shock conversion to lose the rotary damper and forks restrung by maxton to match their shock conversion. A pair of marvic magnesium wheels made it a fabulous track bike but ruined its two up ability. Wish I’d kept it for a full time track bike.

Pretty much anything will last 'a long time' IF it receives conscientious maintenance. In my experience, Suzuki and Kawasaki engines are, generally, 'overbuilt' and will usually fare better in the long term than Yamaha/Honda models as these are, generally, already at their 'peak' performance from the factory. (Why you almost never see Yam/Honda drag bikes vs. all the extreme high HP Suz/Kaw drag bikes...) Nice to see this lovely example of the iconic Suzuki TL v-twin!

The bike doesn't sound like it was flying but it was flying pretty good there. There how they got the nickname "widow maker". Riders were use to an in-line screaming, but the low torque and smooth pull of that motor got riders in trouble going from one corner to the next as they didn't realize how fast they were actually going. I love mine! It almost feels like a play bike when I go from my 1098s and jump on the TL. The 1098 is my solo bike and as the TL is "bigger" so to speak it works well to take my wife with me is far more comfortable for her.

Had a 2000...blue/white...stock....great power, very underrated engine! Handling in fast turns...not great! Won’t turn in - suspension too soft?

Get a traditional shock conversion and some magnesium wheels . It will transform it.

Fit a 190/55 rear tyre rather than the stock 190/50 and drop the forks 5mm down the yokes. Dump the oem steering damper and fit an adjustable one. Transforms it completely without any big spending.

It's sporting Hayabusa Brake and clutch reservoirs and thus levers and cylinders

Old BMW K-bikes (Flying Brick) seems to run forever, 200.000 km is quite common. A Beemer K1 has 525.000 km on the same engine and never been rebuilt

Nice vid. Always liked this bike. Very nearly bought one in 2003 but ended up getting a new SV1000S as got a great deal. Desperate for Suzuki to make another SV or TLS type big V-Twin but chances are practically zero unfortunately.

I have the same basic engine in my cagiva raptor. Epic motor. FYI its not a V twin it's an L twin (90 degrees) so it has natural engine balance. Same as Ducati's.

Would've been nice to hear what work had been done to the bike to make it last that many miles!!!!!!!!
@ToastToGo4 жыл бұрын
Geeees, that's a lot of miles! Pretty impressive seeing high mileage vehicles like that performing so well still.

I put 94000km on an air cooled Z750 81 Model. She was getting a little tired. Water cooled gotta last longer?

I learnt to wheelie on a TL1000s. Actually the bike would wheelie by itself and I'd just hang on and pretend I to be in control.
