I was in the RAF and visiting Melbourne for the international air show. I was walking down Collins St in 2001 and a bloke on a TL rode past and blipped the throttle (I heard the bike well before I saw it). I had a 750 SRAD at the time and I said to myself, I’ll get a TL one day. Roll on to this clip several years later and It was this actual bike that did it for me. I found and bagged a 2003 plate in the UK, It sets off car alarms, scares kids, scares old people and I bloody love it !
That is one of the coolest, most badass bikes I've seen on UA-cam to date! Being from the U.S. I didn't even know this model existed. The way you've built it, I like it way better than the gsxr's.
modding a bike is ok, when it ends up looking better then the original, i would buy this today if i seen it in a showroom for £12k everything about this bike is right! very very tastefully done
Absolutely beautiful bike you have created, although I am fond of the tlr tail section ill give credit on craftsmanship and fabrication skills for the tail swap. Never been a fan of stickers but with everything else going on with the bike the sponsorship decals truly go along with the factory race bike design you have going on with the bike. Your bike is a piece of art my friend. Well done
Thanks my friend. the bike has been like this for a while now, there are some small changes coming up though . the removal of the lower stickers is one of them , once done i will post a new video . it may be a 12 month wait though :)
That is a wicked looking bike mate! Very tastefully done, only parts I don't like are the mirrors and shopping list sponsor stickers on the belly pan. By the looks of it you're from VIC too - see ya on the road!
thanks everyone for the comments, the rear end is gsxr 1000 01 model , as for the swap for the gixxer offer, no thanks, i have spent $30 G all up to get this bike where it is. video doesnt really show it off to well, the sound is amazing when u r next to it, its brutal!, goes quiet well with the fresh 1040cc engine too :-)
Great job, beautiful bike, but the tl-r rear is much more beautiful from the particular gsx-r (01-02), and the original is one of the basic characteristics of the tl-r shape... Anyway I love this bike... (had two completely modified)... wishing you millions of fast, v-twin noised miles...
That bike is beautiful. It sounds so amazing too. I just picked up a 2003 yellow and black with 9,000 original miles off the original owner. I paid 4k. It's in show room condition.
Clean as shit..I had that model ,Color,same year ,R model ,and similar plans for upgrades but first wife had our first baby...🤣🤣🖐...the bike was outey 5000..hehe...
Wow, This is how Suzuki should have made the TL1000R right away I always loved the TL1000R but that ugly seat unit ruined the look of the bike You really made a beauty of the bike
In the States this bike doesn't get much love, nor does the SV1000 or RC51. Everyone here is obsessed with 1000cc inline fours though half the owners can't ride. Your TL is the sexiest one I've ever seen! Are your Yoshi cans chopped down? They sound RIDICULOUS!!!
from Tas mate, mirrors are going back to standard as im sick of not being able to see properly, as for the stickers, the bike is getting a face lift this year hehe
Tastefully done mate :) gonna chop my gixer in for a tiller in the summer, and ill be able to die a happy man when it looks and sounds as good as yours!!
I just naught a 01 to 1000 r fully chrome with the yoshi rs3 full exhaust system sounds just like your bike. Your bike is bad ass. My bike is also putting down 245.7 bhp to the rear wheel
this bike has a full yosh rs3 system with custom made end cans, they slip straight on to the yoshi mids. i had them made the same size as the race fit growler gp pipes. 10 inches long , 2.5 inch id and and only 3.5 inch od , i then riveted yoshi badges on them. if you want aggressive then this is as good as it gets. i am actually now thinking of selling these cans as im doing a few new mods to the bike. if your interested in them my email address is zedxten@gmail.com . cheers ( $500 )
Hi mate! Awesome bike could you tell me what name of exhaust it is? I really like sound! I doing now my TL project and I would like put same exhaust. Thanks a lot

this is probably the best modified TLR you will ever see. top work on a quality build

Agreed !!!!!
Jonathan Gurley I want a tl like this!

one of the nicest TLs ive seen, nice work, i hope to have most of the same mods done someday as well
best looking TL1000R i've seen to date. loved it when suzuki gave the same styling to its cousin the SV-1000.
I am building a 98 TLR right now, and man that is some motivation! Awesome bike!
Gotta say wayne, 'BadAss' doesnt even cover what your TLR is! Looks & Sounds Stunning... Purrss like a beast, Nice work!
LUV IT!
sold the TLS and now want another one.
TL's with the right exhaust, sound EVIL
M4's with large cans give a DEEP thump sound
Inspiration for a current project. Nicely done and clean look!
That is a wicked looking bike mate! Very tastefully done, only parts I don't like are the mirrors and shopping list sponsor stickers on the belly pan. By the looks of it you're from VIC too - see ya on the road!
yep back looking at your tiller again... going to look at buying one monday!!!! thanks again :- )

Hey I was wondering if I can get a complete break down of your tl1000r I have 99 to and would love to do this same look
Great job, beautiful bike, but the tl-r rear is much more beautiful from the particular gsx-r (01-02), and the original is one of the basic characteristics of the tl-r shape... Anyway I love this bike... (had two completely modified)... wishing you millions of fast, v-twin noised miles...

Beautiful bike. Can't beat the sound of a sports V-Twin!
cheers, i have actually changed the pipes now, its not as loud, i dont wanna get booked lol, im now running 07 - 08 gsxr carbon fiber tri yoshi cans
Please tell me you still have this bike.
That clear cover is ultra sick. Nice bike sir.
Lot of fine detail on that bike sir. I applaud you.
looks like k4 gsxr, best colors, well done epic looking bike
Now that's how they should of been built! Best one I've ever seen or heard.
Clean as shit..I had that model ,Color,same year ,R model ,and similar plans for upgrades but first wife had our first baby...🤣🤣🖐...the bike was outey 5000..hehe...
TL's have a wet clutch, what you see is a clear clutch cover. a nice piece made in the usa
Thats one beautiful TLR and sounds even better.
wonderful bike . beautiful beautiful bike . compliments . great job !!!!!!!!!!
Looks amazing. I saw this one on TLplanet and fell in love. I cannot wait to get mine in 2 months. Gonna be my first bike too lol
i customized a gsxr subframe to take the gsxr rear , other than that the frame is powder coated black
Wow, This is how Suzuki should have made the TL1000R right away
I always loved the TL1000R but that ugly seat unit ruined the look of the bike
You really made a beauty of the bike
Thanks Scott , im planning a little more work this year too hehe

I'm in the states and I've owned 4 and I kept the best one out of them. Love these bikes
Nice! Definitely can't find any TL`s in that kind of shape anymore....
it has carbon fiber frame covers from an ebay seller called A-mars
Respect!
from RC51 owner :)
Badass ain't the word bro.. That is fucking killer! Wicked mods.. Best TLR on youtube ever.
Cool bike. Wish this dude would’ve replied to some of the build questions
from Tas mate, mirrors are going back to standard as im sick of not being able to see properly, as for the stickers, the bike is getting a face lift this year hehe
This is the cleanest TL I've seen. Awesome work!
I felt in love i want those fairings
what tail fairings did u use on this bike. looks like gsxr. i like it. would love to know looking into converting my 99 tlr tail fairings
Tastefully done mate :) gonna chop my gixer in for a tiller in the summer, and ill be able to die a happy man when it looks and sounds as good as yours!!
baddest TL in the world yea boi
Very very nice bke mate. good job.
and where did u get the carbon fiber covers that you have put on the frame cause im having a little heat problems on the frame where my inner thigh is
Im all sorts of chubbed up right now.
Looks and sounds awesome. I have yoshi's on mine and I think your shorty cans sound better. TLR FTW!
Top work, this is the best TLR I have ever seen
Currently in the market for an SV1000, gonna be a blast
This has always been my favorite TL is it still around?
Insane camera skills ! It felt like a robot was operating it at times, or it was hovvering by itself.
Always liked this bike but not the tail piece. This is how it should've been done originally. Well done, looks nice! :)
damn, my dream bike. i miss my tl1000r
I just naught a 01 to 1000 r fully chrome with the yoshi rs3 full exhaust system sounds just like your bike. Your bike is bad ass. My bike is also putting down 245.7 bhp to the rear wheel
I AM..........amazed!!!
Wow what a greatlooking tl-r!
I really need to get mine fixed and back on the road ('00 TL 1000s crankshaft bearings) i am also looking for a stock set of TLR Pistons for my S
Perfect mods Brother !! In love with tour bike !! Congratulations !!!
Im brazilian ^^
Love the clutch cover!
curious as to what sub frame you put on, what year and if you had to do any custom fab to it in order for it to fit.
sick ass fucking TL1000, she is beautiful!
Beautiful
Absolutely beautiful. May I ask what brand framesliders andere mirrors you installed?
You did this right man. It looks amazing.
great looking piece of art mate!
Spent a bit. Very nice👍🏼
Best TLR ever, awesome work man.
Masterpiece. . . .

Very nice Bike.
Where did you get the dry clutch cover? This bike is freaking amazing! You have inspired me to invest more money in my old girl now!
Very Nice Tl...√
The best one I have ever seen!
Nice what tail did you put the bike
wow, thankyou
Can you tell me what sub frame you used and did it need wielding ect cheers
super nice bike, love it!!!
Bad ass indeed -
Your wife must be jealous, but if she let you work on her you would be ridden her.lol awesome bike!!
That is porn.. See that you choose Swedish quality suspension, nice! Where did you get that clutch window? Did you make it yourself?
Still drooling....
where can i get those pipes?! the rs3 isnt as loud and aggressive as i want it to be.
fantastic job!!
when you installed the rear shock was there any modification that needed to be done and did it change the ride height?
this bike has a full yosh rs3 system with custom made end cans, they slip straight on to the yoshi mids. i had them made the same size as the race fit growler gp pipes. 10 inches long , 2.5 inch id and and only 3.5 inch od , i then riveted yoshi badges on them. if you want aggressive then this is as good as it gets. i am actually now thinking of selling these cans as im doing a few new mods to the bike. if your interested in them my email address is zedxten@gmail.com . cheers ( $500 )
Ooh, where are those exhaust hangers from?
Awesome!! Launnie??
Very nice
how much did it cost you to rebuild and modify all that ? just love it
Does the radial master hit your clocks? What model is it?
which rear end did you mod to fit? a gixxer 1k?
Great job, you got a beast.
Hi mate! Awesome bike could you tell me what name of exhaust it is? I really like sound! I doing now my TL project and I would like put same exhaust. Thanks a lot
