This is the world’s most extreme road-going Suzuki GSX-R1000 – built by British Superbike mechanics to give over 200bhp on the road!
The snappily-named Suzuki GSX-R1000 K7 Crescent Special Limited Edition uses the bare bones of a new Suzuki GSX-R 1000 as a base, but apart from the crankcases, frame and swingarm very little remains of the mass-produced Suzuki.
The motorcycle has been stripped right down – the engine was tuned and rebuilt, and is now putting out 202bhp at the rear wheel. The chassis has also been upgraded to match the extra 35bhp, with reworked suspension, new brakes and other top-notch components.
The motorcycle was only finished last Friday (August 30, 2007) after a day of the setup on the dyno, and was unveiled at Crescent’s open weekend on Saturday.
If you want one, you need deep pockets – the complete machine would cost £28,190.70 to replicate!
