FAIR PLAY to Suzuki GB and its classic race team, run by the firm's Tim Davies. It's raised the brand's profile massively over the past few years, while giving punters a proper show, with its Katana and XR69 racebikes braaaapping their way round various classic endurance races during the season.
But of course, the firm also makes some cracking modern bikes - like the latest GSX-R100R (one of which we had a proper ball on earlier this week - more anon). So what better plan that to make a classic race replica of the new 'un? And here it is - a properly nice paint job, with some sweet official Suzuki bolt-on accessories. It's missing the essential full Yoshi pipe of course, so we're marking it down for that - but it's still a lovely thing.
We imagine you'll be able to see the retro-rep Gixxer at the NEC, if not at a race meeting before then. And if there's enough interest, you'd imagine Suzuki might bring out a short run of official reps for sale...
