Suzuki launches a BSB-replica GSX-R1000R

Just fifty examples of Suzuki’s latest limited edition are going to be available. Based on the GSX-R1000R, it’s a tribute to the Buildbase Suzuki Team bikes that currently race in the British Superbike Championship.

As well as a special colour scheme, the specification includes a Yoshimura R11 SQ exhaust, mirror blanks (for track use) and a numbered fuel tank.

A double-bubble windscreen, lever guards, engine case protectors and a pillion seat cowl are among the Suzuki accessories that are fitted too. A garage mat, a paddock stand, a bike cover and an Ogio kit bag complete the package.

There’s a considerable premium to be paid for the enhancements, though. Whereas a regular GSX-R1000R costs £16,299 (plus first registration fee and vehicle excise duty), the Buildbase BSB replica’s price is £19,999.

Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
