For the modern day Thomas Crown who doesn’t want to tip over his Catamaran “just to hear the splash,” there is a new toy in town. The Buildbase Suzuki GSX-R1000R Limited Edition Replica, priced at a mere £19,999. Yes, you read that correctly, over £19K just for a replica bike. On the plus side, you do get a numbered fuel tank, genuine accessories, and numerous Yoshimura components.
No, you won’t be able to tell your dates (or your mates, who are probably more interested) that you actually own one of the famed British Superbike and Superstock 1000 racers of Bradley Ray, Richard Cooper, and Billy McConnell, but you will be able to show off one sweet looking replica. Maybe you can just leave the price tag on display? Either way, from the accurate paint scheme to the fitted pillion seat cowl, paddock stand, bike cover, and engine case savers, the Buildbase Suzuki GSX-R1000R Limited Edition Replica is true to form. Impressive in it’s own way, it certainly is a toy for the man who prefers to preserve his toys rather than wreck them.
