NEC- Suzuki special editions unveiled

Yoshimura-lashed GSX-R750 plus a race-spec Gladius at the NEC show

SUZUKI has unveiled new UK special editions at the NEC motorcycle show including this GSX-R750 with Yoshimura parts.
It’s got a Yoshimura exhaust, bar-end weights, crank case protectors, paddock stand locators, steering stem nut, oil filter plug and timing inspection cap. It costs £10,699, £800 more than the basic GSX-R750.

The firm's stand also features a UK special edition GSX1250F with blue and white graphics and a 'V-Strom 650 Touratech concept' – basically a V-Strom with Touratech accessories thrown at it.
A race-spec, fully-faired SVF650 Gladius is on the stand to ‘show what can be done’ with the model, according to spokesman.

The JHS Racing Gladius has GSX-R1000 forks with Öhlins cartridges, an Öhlins shock and steering damper, GSX-R600 wheels, Brembo radial calipers and a 98hp tuned engine.
Factory special editions include a Hayabusa and GSR750.

Billed as the ‘race bike with lights’, the GSX-R750 is in a league of its own. Set apart by its uniqueness, the GSX-R750 is the bike with which other manufacturers don’t even attempt to compete.  Weighing in at a mere 163kg, it is lighter than some other brands’ 600cc bikes!  Bringing together the flick able handling of a supersports machine with the big-bore power of a 750cc motor, the GSX-R offers the best of both worlds.  Turning quickly, carrying high corner-speed and holding a tight line - the 750 takes it all in its stride.  On to the straight, and it continues to flourish.

The Motorcycle Live show runs until December 1 at Birmingham’s NEC.
