It's a Suzuki GSXR, with a Yamaha R1/6 paint job!

Oh! I should have recognised the speedblock I suppose, but TBH sportsbikes just aren't on my radar.

I'd never have known. If I walk in a dealership I don't even see sportbikes. They're like a row of wallpaper displays to me. If i had to id ten different models in ten minutes for a million quid, i'd lose!

How fucking hard is it to take the fairing and the tank off before painting them!
If they are happy to make such a shit job of the paint, whatever it's hiding must be horrendous !

Yeh, but I suspect nah.

The whole front of the frame is 2 dimensional. It'll flop around like a wet noodle, no matter how thick the tubes are.

What's wtf about that?
That's a Hag Hughes creation.
Sold 100 off them apparently. If you give him £1500, you'll get all the plastics unpainted.
If you remember the original Elsie, then the xsr is a worthy successor to the crown.

Not really. The LC blew every other bike off the park. The XSR didn't quite do that ;)
