Suzuki TL1000R “Alphamille” By Magnus Opus Custom Bikes

 

.  

Magnum Opus Custom Bikes, headed up by Ezio Covelli, and based in Wilmington, North Carolina is responsible for this exeptional Suzuki TL1000R build.


The TL-R, launched in 1998 was intended to be “the best potential Superbike winner,” it ended up overweight and overcomplicated. It weighed 434 lbs/196.8 kg dry - 40+ lbs/18 kg more than the R1 of the time — and made less power.


The whole concept behind this build was to bring simplicity to an extremely complicated bike. The result is the “Alphamille,” a TL1000 cafe racer.
The weight is down, and the power is most definitely up with their revised version.


Modifications done to the TL-R described by Ezio Covelli:


Thanks to a custom fuel mapping the motor power output increased to 125 rear wheel horse power, that along with the enormous weight loss we were able to achieve a NEW power / weight ratio = 0.65 Hp/Kg

An outstanding 23% improvement
That's equivalent of adding 30hp at the wheel on a stock TLR
