Motorcycle specifications Suzuki 1000 GSX-R World Superbike Replica 2014 A GSX-R overwhelmed by Superbikes

suzuki and Superbike have a long history. The manufacturer has been present on the grid since the championship's inception in 1988. The GSX-R 750 fought with varying degrees of success against the almost unchallenged dominance of Ducati and Honda. Later, in 2003, the 1000 took over. Suzuki never missed a season, with points, doubts and victories. And finally, in 2005, supreme consecration and the title with Troy Corser. The history of the GSX-R in WSBK has been marked by a number of well-known and prestigious names: Alstare, Biaggi, Corser, Moineau, bayliss, Kagayama, Chambon,Guintoli, Haslam, Cluzel, Laverty...

and now Crescent, whose name, graphics, partner Voltcom and riders Alex Lowes / Eugène Laverty take the big Gex to the frontiers of performance. Suzuki France now offers a replica of this machine. The GSX-R 1000 World Superbike Replica takes its design cues from the 2014 WSBK bike. Visually, the only distinguishing features are the mirrors, swingarm and fork (Öhlins FGR on the superbike).

the GSX-R 1000 may be one of the oldest bikes on the Superbike line-up, but its performance still surprises many observers. The work of the Crescent team is evident, and is celebrated today with this limited edition of 24 bikes for France. To underline the machine's prestigious status, Suzuki France delegated the preparation of these replicas to team boss Paul Denning. They're off to Verwood, England, to receive the racing dress and a series of special parts. Suzuki GSX-R 1000 World Superbike Replica models are fitted with a Yoshimura R-77J titanium exhaust system with carbon tip, a painted seat cover, GB Racing crankcase guards and a numbered engraved plate to accentuate their exceptional character.

this Suzuki GSX-R 1000 World Superbike Voltcom Crescent Replica retails for the modest sum of 16,999 euros, 2,900 more than the standard version. That's a pretty steep price to pay for a Yosh pot and special paintwork. Enthusiasts won't see this consideration in the same light...
