Suzuki had this on display at their tent (had a big celebration hononing 20 years of the GSX-R). SOme of the subtleties were quite interesting, like numbering the sections of hte expansion chambers on the exhuast.

I need one of them.

MotoGP is amazing but I really prefered the two stroke era. It is not unusual to number the sections on the expansion. There are prolly three or four different volumes for different curves. Imagine handbuilding that and then having the bike come back in several pieces.

That part's hard enough, thank you. Are you trying to make me cry with the next?

 

Nice to see they made the cup holder capable of holding a full size Powerade.

 

Bah, the RC166 was cooler

 

I wouldn't be surprised if there were also numbers on the sections to help out the guy welding them together.

 

Nice pictures. Too bad Suzuki wasn't doin to well.

 

nice photography yo
