I will never sell my 01 TLR love every thing about it for a well rounded street bike. With some tuning, mine was putting out little over 148, right gearing, it's a great bike.. that blue and white and solo cowl... still stylish
you are riding that big tiller hard............... you are the man!! got one myself and there bloody quick, pity suzuki wont bring them back into production. 10/10 for your ride
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.
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.
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.
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
Awesome skills man,i would give my left testicle to ride that well, obviously you have two, And they are massive! Ty for the video, i am edging closer to the tl now 👍😆
Thanks for the ride along! I am going carbon fiber BSTs soon and ditching the chrome rims. I have a 1999 TL1000R. Second owner but have had it since my 30s.
Yeah I wanted to buy a set of BST for my tlr and the representative said he does not make them anymore this is straight from the factory they said they don't make them for the tlr anymore
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
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.
Nice ride man and nice to see a tl 1000 flat out and at the start it hard to get any grip with theses monsters and wait till the clutch and back tyre gets to temp and all is good and the power is f@@king awesome
nice riding. Not a fan of Most track though, salt mines leave depressions in the ground or so they said, ask me how I know. Yard sale years ago broke everything on a sweet gsxr 750.
...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...
@@019208237 Camshafts are slightly revised, Yoshi full exhaust and Powercommander 2, brings 143hp to the clutch ... and suspensions by Wilbers work great
@@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👍
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)
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.
@@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 🤙
@Raketen Daniel Great performance! Congratulations! I did a brief test on this bike and I fell in love. Could you tell if the clutch has an anti-lock system? Thanks for tour post
@@raketendaniel5396 Thank you very much for your return, Daniel. The tl was a bike far ahead of its time and still enchants me today. I will plan to have it. A hug, health and success!
Dear Daniel, I need to let you know that I am excited and I am closing a seemingly good deal with the owner of a red 2001 TLs with 32000km needing a clutch change. (TLr did not come to Brazil). I'll keep the M695 for the city and the other one for the track. Sorry for the weak English. Thank you
I just pulled my TL out of retirement and I'm going to do some track days. It hasn't been started in 20 years wish me luck 🤞 great video
One of the purest and most singular things I've ever watched. Thanks so much for posting it
Respect, under-appreciated bikes (they require so little to be A+), and that was a thrill 'going along' on that ride!
Damn 178 mph for a tl1000r is very impressive! You definitely know the bike, awesome riding dude!
The tlr doesn't grow that fast.. I have a 2003 in the garage I thought top speed was 165
@@11bravo80 these are not roadgoing TLRs, they are much lighter for racing with I'm sure some small power mods.
I have all carbon body panels, cow, hugger, fender upper, sides. And with my full exhaust I get over 178. I EST 181-182

hey guys, I think the real max speed is about 160mph. It will only run faster running down a wall...

👏👏👏💕TLR... Y pesar q fracasó comercialmente... Gran moto!!! Saludos desde 🇦🇷 Argentina ✌️
He needs 2 trailers on race day. One for the TLR and one for his gigantic balls. Youre my hero.
Dude! You can ride! To be able to pull in on those bikes with the TL says a whole lot. My respect to you.
You had me leaning with you every corner.....
Awesome driving
I’ve had my TL since-98 and it still amazes me
Great video mate! Felt like I was riding along with you the whole way. TL are an awesome machine! Definite classic.
you are riding that big tiller hard............... you are the man!! got one myself and there

135hp better than 180 hp bikes.. congratulations
Err. 135 is stock, I bet this is 150+. Even so, congrats well earnerned. An excellent ride just smoothly and confidently hauling them in, lovely!
Very torquey and there's a real rip at the top of the revs, from about 8 thousand on. Nice!
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!
Old war bird picks off the newer fighters. I loved watching this.
Cool Racer! Honor and respect!
Job well done taming the beast. Awesome riding. Looking forward seeing more videos from you. Keep doing a great job mate

Brilliant riding - really enjoyed watching that!
didn't know I can go that fast thru a turn with my TL ... wow
You'll still need to replace the rotary damper to do it safely
Awesome skills man,i would give my left testicle to ride that well,
obviously you have two,
And they are massive!
Ty for the video, i am edging closer to the tl now 👍😆
Wow what a great skill for a crazy motorcycle. Not every TLR rider can do this.
Everyone reminds me of my TLR being called the widow maker.
doin' it on the brakes............well done............sounds good too........like the TL is enjoying the ride !.............
I could feel your adrenaline :-)
Nice to see a TL on the track ...

This makes me a very proud tlr owner
just got myself the same bike. Cant believe its so good haha
AWESOME wish I could ride like you...thanks
I'd be scratching my head if I were riding a modern day R6 and get overtaken by a TLR... You rode the weels off the old stomper!
Well he does have a 200cc advantage if you you factor in that they allow vtwins to have 200 more cc's
+james dean
...what are you talking about?
+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
BAD ASS!!!!!
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.
You make that look easy great riding.
