Suzuki TL1000R Review - Suzuki's Forgotten Superbike | FrontWheelUp.Com

Over the last 33 years I have owned loads of bikes I have enjoyed / liked / been impressed with. The only bike I have really LOVED is my TL1000R. I bought it 10 years ago, a 2003 model and still love every chance I get to ride it. The character, sound ( OMG above 7K RPM ), style ( love it or hate it ), torque ( loads ), and yes power ( its still plenty quick enough ) more than make up for all of its 'quirks'. One of the best V Twins ever made in my opinion. Oh, also a load of forums and TL enthusiasts who are super helpful on tuning, servicing, parts etc..

Everything you said echoes precisely what I think about my TL1000. I love it!

I feel your reviews are well made in every perspective. Honest and precise. And perfect balance between history, specs and test ride. Well done, keep it up!

I had 5 bikes and 4 of them were tlrs. Still have one to keep forever! Nice video man! 🍻

I just bought a yellow 98 TL, its run to ride . .Love the sound of it. Going to get a few KMS on it before winter. nice video

Great upload love the styling of the bike

Absolutely one of the best looking sportbikes ever made. They sound great too!

Awesome review. Well presented in a style that made a refreshing change to the usual hype fest/pissing contest approach that some reviewers utilise. Well done and keep up the good work.

Excellent review 👍 I’ve had mine for years and absolutely love it! Sure there’s faster and better handling bike but very few that are as quirky and it has a character all of its own.

Love mine, always turns heads when people hear it coming and always a talking point at bike meets. Never ever getting rid of it

I had one of these a few years ago back when you could pick them up cheap, I paid 1500 quid got mine, it was a shitter but I loved it, it wasn't fast compared to any Inline 4 1000 but it was so much fun to ride and I felt an absolute badass on it

You don't ride a TLR you pilot it , you learn to respect the throttle, Torque and steering position. One of the best Vtwin engines ever on a bike , newer bikes maybe better now but when I'm out on it I know why I keep it , a smile every time 😀

I have such a love for the TLR. I chose this bike as my first one because it was just sitting in my dad's garage alone and untouched for years, so much so that a of last year she was barely broken in mileage wise. First time ever riding a bike, much less a liter, it was very intimidating but I showed her respect and maturity and a few weeks later, I become so comfortable riding the Tiller.

Such a beautiful bike, love the S version aswell, iconic bikes

I Owned 3 TL, s my Favorite one was a '00 model with Upgraded Suspension, Power Commander 3 and Barracuda Exhaust, Airbox Mod and many more things.. I Loved it

Wow I might have to start riding my TL again after watching this video. I love my TL but I’ve only ridden her maybe 20 miles in the past 8 years! I miss the purring and the thumbs up I use to get at red lights.... Tiller time

Is it only me who finds this bike extremely beautiful?

I have a 97 and she's a monster. Demands your respect but also extremely capable.

I have one in my shed, not ridden it in 4 years! Next year it's coming out! Personally never had much trouble with the bike being a handful, find it easy and very planted to ride...had an amazing time on it in the Pyrenees back in 2011.

You could see it growing on him. A bonkers bike with hidden charms. I don't know why I love mine but it has developed into long term relationship. Comfortable for long days too.
