What could possibly go wrong - taking my wheelie-prone TL1000S out to the sprint races at Ramsey, Isle of Man. .... then it rains, hard ! Still - best to give it a go, don't you think ?
The Manx Rider goes Commando - But how fast is it?

The Manx Rider goes all Commando. A 1975 Norton Commando Mk3, to be exact. Join us for a brief ride along the Isle of Man coast road - just a taste in advance of a full review of this amazing machine. Big thanks to my mate Mike for the tail-gate camera work...

The incomparable Suzuki TL1000S - 25 years young!
มุมมอง 9K2 ปีที่แล้ว
From its launch in 1997, the Suzuki TL1000S quickly gained a reputation as the bad boy of the supersports scene, with a punchy engine and, well, challenging handling characteristics. 25 years on, we take the TL1000S on to the track, with a Ducati 748SP for company. Who'll come out tops?

A quick teaser video of 'Team TMR' enjoying an afternoon taster ride with 'Trail Riding Isle of Man', the ride being led by top man John Whittle.
Had one of those - had more fun on it than any other bike I owned…
Thanks for the Ear Lube.........haven't laughed that much in a while.
Looking forward to seeing your video. Nice trip from the the Island. Made it as far as northern spain when did our road trip about 30 years back.😊
Thanks. It was a hugely eventful tour, and we've got loads of footage to wade through. We'll release episodes of the tour as soon as we can. If you click on the 'notify' button, TH-cam will send you a message each time we release a new vid. Ta for your support!
Nice!!! What ratio do you use ( 17/38) ?
my TL1000s brought me here . . .
Fantastic tour plan and great vid (Ive watch the full series).
@stephenfry4685 Hi. I use MyrouteApp, both to plan out our routes, and as the SatNav on our phones. Its really easy to set a route up for an entire trip, divide it up into days, and then share it with my riding mates (via Whatsapp). Thanks for subscribing.. More videos coming up as we tour through Spaim & Portugal in attempt to find all the best roads and sights!
Excellent, really enjoyed the first one and thanks for the info on Sat nav
Great vid, going to Picos and Pyrenees end of August. Will watch rest of your vids now and have subscribed. Forgive me if i missed it but what navigation app did you use on your phone. Agree the blonde on the Ducati was specual (followed by the boyfriend 😢)
Nice, Love seeing the TL being wound up. I love my red Tl1000s. Love to take it on the track.....one day.
Wow! That was one hell of a trip lads, really enjoyable. I dropped onto your channel yesterday evening, have now enjoyed your complete adventure 👍. I'm planning to get down to Croatia in a few weeks time and, hopefully see some of the same sights as you. Luckily for me I'm completely retired and, a widower, so no pressure to return home at a given point/time. I'm going to keep my eye out for your next adventure, 👍🏍.
Hey Keith. Thanks so much for your message. We do this for the fun of it like yourself, and it's really encouraging to get a personal response. Enjoy your trip to Croatia - you'll love it 😀 - great roads and sights, nice people. Our next is a convoluted tour through Spain and Portugal starting mid June. More news soon...
Enjoyed that 👍🏻 I bought a red TLS in 1997 too, really liked it, put full akra system on it - wish I still had it, but I bought an R1 the following year...wish I still had that one too !
Thanks for sharing, keep them coming 😄
Hi Mark. Thanks for the positive feedback - always nice to hear! The BigUn is in 4 parts - Here are the links to Parts 2 & 3 - Part 4 will be published very soon .... If you subscribe and choose to be notified, you'll get a ping when Part 4 is out. Cheers Part Two th-cam.com/video/AEWX6s3DqDE/w-d-xo.html Part Three th-cam.com/video/yeCSsNigqrY/w-d-xo.html
Get rid of the music so can hear the exhaust
Hi Craig. If you stay with it for just a minute, the music fades and you can hear the pure TL revvy stuff for the rest of the video.
Very nice riding!
Hey @manxrider1979 and @oldschoolbudapestworkout2105 I'm totally pumped to get my TL out to a track now. I've had my '97 TL for about 14-15 years now and looks exactly like your bike. Absolutely love it! My daughter is now getting into riding and I've put down for a SV650 track bike which will leave me wanting to get out on the track too....Being TL owners and also being in the UK, wondering what tuning @oldschool did to reach 134hp and if either of you did anything for the rear suspension to protect the rotary damper from overheating....also wondering if either of you have changed your suspension out with a Maxton Suspension mod. seen here in this video. th-cam.com/video/8jdx9T_gljc/w-d-xo.html Would love your input, or anyone's from these comments on their TL mods.
Hiya, and firstly - apologies for this reply being soooo late - I didn't see any notification. Anyhoo, I bought a Hyperpro adjustable suspension unit, Hyperpro progressive springs for the front, swapped the front stoppies for Nissin 4-pots and the rear now uses a caliper from the Gsxr-750. Now handles and stops like a new bike, as well as having blistering acceleration!
Any tuning on it? I remapped mine with now 134 hp
Yup. Power commander 3, and tuned by Slick Bass (Carl Fogarty's mechanic from way back). Original engine components but race exhaust and amended air intake. 143 rear-wheel horses. Goes very well indeed.
@@manxrider1979 any mechanical issues after tuning?
@oldschoolbudapestworkout2105 None at all. Still running on the original clutch, and no mechanical issues. The engine's been very strong.
@@manxrider1979 What Race Exhaust?
@mattgeans3758 Sorry - missed your question. It's an M4 full 2-2 system but with 3rd party cans. V loud.
had a 97 when knew. Now have a 99,,,,not as mental but still potent. Did you do the slipper clutch mod, I've had mine welded but regret it as its made the clutch so heavy!
Hiya. Nope. Amazingly, the clutch is still original and untouched, despite a hard life, endless track days and the odd sprint event! Frequent oil changes and some mechanical sympathy... 😀
Point and quirt my man. Brake late. Win!
How did the Moto Guzzi 85 perform on the trip as was looking to maybe purchase one.
Hiya. The only Guzzi on our trip was a v7. All of the bikes performed flawlessly. To be fair, it was a very gentle trip though.
Looks like a nice time was had on your tour and some nice weather.
Indeedy - We had sunny weather almost throughout - matched by everyone we met. Can't wait to go back and explore the North !
@@manxrider1979 you will enjoy the north too as nice people and scenery to match.
To me your riding it like a 4 cylinder not a 2 cylinder use that torque man lol so not high rev use the gear up and blast the gas it's got it bro
Hiya. Just saw this comment, and it's a fair one. This was my first track day in nearly 20 years, and I was definitely settling in. Way too many revs on the way into the long left hander! I'm planning to get back out on track early next year, so look forward to more chugga chugga and less rattling...
@@manxrider1979 nice and wish I had the balls to track mine but don't want to trash her but you have fun and ride safe man
TL"s will rev like a 4 cylinder
Super video and just great to see a 97 TL out there on the track ... I am a massive TL fan (and 97 owner) ... Nice one' ... 👍
Slight correction - I found out later this was a Ducati 748SP, not a 916. It was great fun having a blast with a confident and sure-footed rider, whatever the bike!
But you dropped inside and pulled away... well done - nice riding! Loved it!!
Looks like a nice afternoon out for anyone interested in riding off road.
