presentation of the GSX-R 1000 Pepsi GP Edition 2018
Among the names that have forged the Suzuki name in GP racing, one of the most remarkable is without doubt that of Kevin Schwantz. An emblematic figure of competition in the 90s, the American rider is one of motorcycle racing's living legends.
in England, a limited edition GSX-R 1000 was created in his honor. The highly identifiable replica color scheme is based on that of the 1989 RGV 500 sponsored by Pepsi. The unmistakable No. 34 is emblazoned on the Suz's forehead and posterior. This is how the GSX-R 1000 Pepsi GP Edition presents itself: the meeting of two icons, the association of two giants.
this special series from big Gex is exclusive in more ways than one. Only 25 units will be produced. And each one will bear Kevin's signature on the tank. What's more, it's not a creation of the Japanese manufacturer or the British importer, but the fruit of a partnership between a dealership, Blade Suzuki, and the famous British media outlet MCN Motorcycles News. Those able to order this machine before April 30 will receive a bonus Yoshimura exhaust system.
By the way, why 25? Because it's been 25 years since Kevin Schwantz won his 500 World Championship title.
