Team Classic Suzuki has unveiled a replica Suzuki GSX-R1000R wearing the team’s distinctive blue and white retro livery.

The bike shares the same colour scheme and sponsorship graphics as the team’s racing machines, which adopts elements of the design found on early Suzuki GSX-R750s.

MCN BIKES FOR SALE

Although currently a one-off, Suzuki say they will be monitoring reactions to the bike on social media, to assess whether it could potentially be rolled out as an official paint scheme.

Plenty of extras

As well as new colours, the GSX-R has also been littered with extras from the official Suzuki accessory range, including clutch and brake lever guards and carbon frame covers. 

There’s also a double-bubble screen, paddock stand bobbins, a pillion seat cowl and carbon air intakes.

News Editor - I joined the MCN team straight from studying at the University of Sheffield, having achieved Class One Honours in Journalism Studies and a Gold Standard Level 3 Diploma in Journalism from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). I started out as Acting Consumer Editor, before becoming the Senior Online Reporter, Senior Writer and more recently the News Editor. Although my first love will always be performance bikes and racing, I have a passion for all things two-wheeled. I have reported on everything from breaking new bike news to charity fund raising, as well as attending countless international new model launches and nurturing the growth of MCN’s amazing YouTube channel alongside a very talented team. I did my Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) on my 16th birthday and passed my full test around a year later. I now covers around 20,000 road miles a year on motorcycles of all genres and in all weathers. I have also experienced elements of advanced rider training, tackled countless UK and international short circuits and achieved an ACU race licence to begin a fledgling competition career. When I’m not at the track, I can be found chugging along the back lanes aboard my Royal Enfield Classic 350 two-up with my girlfriend.
