"limited edition" gsxr....wtf
 
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...12081162260968


:?:

So a custom paint job, with some kind of custom headlight and taillight, qualifies as an official "limited edition" that never existed??

Not to mention those look like gsxr 1000 forks (black sliders).....Prolly a crash & rebuild :lol:

Potentially a Mladin replica, however that's purely a paintjob.

Never down huh? I know bikes don't just go missing the clutch lever tip & bar end. FAIL!

*and the rear blinker is "characterized"

Someone will probably buy it too :lol:

The real GSXR "Limited Edition" was a 1986 GSXR 750 with dry clutch, close-ratio trans, and magnesium engine covers: http://members.ozemail.com.au/~karl/index_LE.htm I saw one at the dealer back then, but never saw one on the street. They are very rare.

He probably shaved them off to reduce weight for better wheelies. Though those giant blinkers probably have more drag than the Space Shuttle parachutes.

It also game with a gold chain, electric anti-dive forks from the GSXR1100 and a solo seat, and cost more than the 1100.

Anti-dive forks, huh? How come no one uses them today?

Same reason no cars use carburetors today.
Old technology does not sell.

'Cept carburetors are obsolete because they have been improved upon. Is the same true for anti-dive forks?
