OverviewEdit
The TL1000R is a great alternative to the in-line sport bikes. This high-performance v-twin bike is equipped with a liquid-cooled engine which can produce just under 135 horsepower and is not intended for novice or inexperienced riders. Basically, you're looking at the v-twin brother of the liter-class GSX-R1000, a bike whose specific rumble is impossible to mistake for anything else.
Being a bike developed for track use and then upgraded to a street-legal trim, the TL1000R arrives with forged pistons, lightweight and strong connecting rods, a high-capacity airbox, adjustable suspensions and top-drawer, sport-class brakes.
To the untrained eye, the TL1000R could easily look like the Gixxers, but the fairing badge is telling a completely different story. Putting things bluntly, there is something almost magical with v-twin sport bikes. Fast and sporting the same nerve like its in-line 4 siblings, the 2003 MY TL1000R is a track-focused machine which can also provide thrilling sensation on the street.
Race-derived technologies and components make sure the bike delivers top-drawer performance in all scenarios. Add in enhanced-aerodynamics for the fairing, adjustable suspensions, a comprehensive dashboard with LCD screens and the sear seat cowl delivered as standard equipment for a truly worthy race-bred machine.
