Misschien wat voor de grijze import?Ten years after GP legend Kevin Schwantz won the 500cc world championship, Crescent Suzuki are celebrating with two unbelievably quick specials.
The Crescent/Hyside Hayabusa is a one-off, £20,500 special that will wheelspin in top gear, with 180hp on tap. The Crescent Schwantz GSX-R, meanwhile, varies from a £8499 entry-level version, right up to a £25,000 BSB-spec machine.
The Hayabusa has had a diet, resulting in a weight reduction of around 30kg, plus a power hike of 20-odd bhp. Yet it’s actually easier to ride than the standard version, even on freezing cold January roads.
The engine has been blue-printed, gas-flowed and re-cammed. The additions of a Power Commander and Yoshimura race exhaust make it perfect, particularly when it’s been put together by the same mechanics that build Crescent’s race bikes. The result has been tweaked, dynoed and mapped so carefully it feels it has no internals at all. The clutch and gearbox have also been fettered, making it as smooth as silk.
