presentation of the GSX-R 1000 R Buildbase Limited Edition 2018
Now that's something! We'd almost got out of the habit of particularly garish, exuberant war decals, visible for miles beyond the threat stage. However, this isn't a new color Suzuki is adding to its catalog, but a special edition in the colors of Buildbase, a British Superbike championship team.
the GSX-R 1000 is being showcased in Europe at the moment, with retinal exercises to great effect. The Pepsi GP edition in Kevin Schwantz's colors, the Team Classic, a Swift Sport series in Switzerland, and the Origins version in our country have all appeared. The picture is completed by the Limited Edition Buildbase Suzuki Replica, based on the GSX-R 1000 R.
With the exception of the race number and a few missing sponsors, the mimicry with the team's machine is perfect. This Gex catches your eye with its electric blue skinned with blood-red. It exudes a feeling of performance rather than provocation. Suzuki England is honoring the achievements of riders Bradley Ray, Richard Cooper and Billy McConnell, with several victories and podiums in both BSB and Superstock 1000.
50 copies will be distributed, each marked with a serial number glued to the tank. Here's the only thing that's lacking; we'd have liked a plaque engraved on the fork crown, or something fancier. On the other hand, the GSX-R 1000 R Buildbase is no slouch when it comes to parts. With a dress like this, it's got to have baggage, and it does. The muscular 202-horsepower 4-cylinder will be vociferating its huff in a Yoshimura R-11 Sq exhaust. The Japanese accessory maker also supplies the mirror support covers. Next, we pick up parts from the Suzuki catalog: sump protectors, brake and clutch lever covers, a racing bubble, rear wheel axle plates, a seat cover, a pit stand, a tank protection kit, a protective cover and a garage mat.
There's also a Suzuki-badged Ogio travel bag, handy for carrying a wetsuit and the like.
for some time now, we've been eating up Suzuki's MotoGP-style deco, or nostalgia with the eternal "750 revival of 1985". This edition, in addition to paying tribute to the conquering British Superbike team, emancipates itself from traditional costumes and provides very paddock-style equipment. Once again, this gesture can only be appreciated on the other side of the Channel.
