"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 |

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" Last edited by TYEster; 08-08-2010 at 07:16 PM.. |

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

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.

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