Suzuki GSXR1000RR!!!
has everyone but me seen this already?
  http://www.visordown.com/motorcycle-...00rr/7565.html YOSHIMURA RACE SHOP USA has unveiled a new limited-edition Suzuki GSX-R1000, based on everything the company's learned by competing in the AMA Superbike series. Dubbed the GSX-R1000RR, the new machine features a plethora of Yoshimura's race bits, including: high-lift cams, a quick shifter, numerous suspension upgrades and a full titanium-carbon exhaust, to name just a few. Last week Visordown broke the news to UK bikers about Buell's new controversial 1125RR racer, which has been entered in the AMA Superbike series, despite the fact that it's not on sale to the general public. Former AMA Superbike Champion Mat Mladin spoke out vehemently against the AMA's decision to let Buell's turnkey racer compete in the series, as the machine's not on sale to the general public. No doubt many AMA licence holders will now be beating a path to their nearest Yoshimura dealers; Suzuki fans will be please to know the Suzuki GSX-R1000RR, unlike the Buell, should be street-legal and available to the public. Suzuki have yet to announce details on price or availability. Features: Engine: YRS ST-R Type R Cams (High Lift Longer Duration Cam Shafts) YRS Hi Compression Head Gasket (Raised Compression to 13.8:1) BMC Race Air Filter Yoshimura EM Pro w/ Quick Shifter and harness Yoshimura R77 Titanium / Carbon Fiber Full System Suspension/Chassis: YRS Swing Arm Pivot Insert (+2mm) YRS Rear Suspension Linkage (159MM) YRS Extended Fork Cap Kit (gives additional 25MM of front ride height adjustment) YRS Showa "KIT" Rear Shock with YRS Race Spec Valving YRS Race Spec Fork Valving Brakes: Galfer Stainless Steel Braided Brake Lines Front Galfer Stainless Steel Braided Brake Lines Rear Galfer 1375 Front Brake Pads |

I did see it. But! I'm happy they're doing it.
If one team can bend the rules, they all can. |

Buell is campaigning a bike that is not available for sale to the general public and that is not street legal in the form that it is being raced. In the past Yamaha, Honda and Kawasaki (I believe) have produced "Homogenization specials'' that are only manufactured and sold in street form so they can be raced. In fact, technically since this bike isn't being manufactured by Suzuki, they are still clean in my book.
