V1000 Gran Turismo Concept Bike
Based in Stockholm, Sweden, Marcus
Carlsson always wanted to build his own motorcycle – a
‘café-racer-going-on-superbike’ as he puts it. So he’s put together the machine
you see here, which is based on a Suzuki TL1000S and is inspired by a Husqvarna
roadracer from the 1930s.
The V1000 GT concept uses the stock, 125bhp Suzuki TL1000 v-twin engine, with a
custom-built exhaust system. The original TL1000 fork is retained, while the
rear shock is an Öhlins item. Marcus reckons it took about 1,200 hours of work
to put the bike together.
