THE TWO GRAND PAINT JOB INCLUDING THE WHEELS IS OFF THE SCALE & BEAUTIFULLY DONE INCLUDING GENUINE GOLD LEAF LOGOS ALL BY "Altamura Concepts" - A TRUE CREDIT TO THEM INDEEDPlease read my full description (I know it's long but this is no ordinary GSX-R) to appreciate how much effort, money & quality has gone into this very special 1 of 1 "Gixxer" all done by "Fast Bikes" back in 2011 then raffled off then professionally & properly stored all its life & just been pulled out of a vast collectionSo ...Back in 2011, the publishers of Fast Bikes magazine teamed up with Suzuki Motorcycles GB to offer a truly unique prize. In acknowledgment of the ten year anniversary of the GSX-R 1000 motorcycles, an exclusive (One of One Anniversary) motorcycle was created by Fast Bikes and was offered as a prize to the readers of Fast Bikes. That motorcycle was named “Ten, and that motorcycle was a very special offering.Within the production of the range which "Ten" celebrates, only 1,000 units were manufactured for worldwide distribution, of which only 25 were destined for the UK, and despite their £11,000 price tag, all were immediately sold. The production motorcycles all featured a bespoke white and gold colour scheme with special GSX-R anniversary logos, numbered top yoke plaque, Yoshimura 25th anniversary exhausts with engraved end plates, laser etched wheel rim graphics and a certificate of authenticity. Announcing the launch of the production anniversary GSX-Rs, Suzuki GB marketing manager, George Cheeseman, commented, "As our anniversary celebrations get into top-gear during the summer months, it's great to launch our final anniversary tribute model. With the GSX-R1000 the ultimate bike in the range for many enthusiasts, and this version sporting a unique colour, not to mention bespoke logos too, this really is one for the collectors." If George suspects the 1000 production motorcycles to be serious collector pieces, how sought after is "TEN" likely to be..
Unlike the production units, "TEN" is unique. This motorcycle sports a bespoke Altamura Concepts custom paint job with exclusive livery bespoke to Fast Bikes. Its also extensively modified to incorporate every imaginable extra and the result is not only a very heady road and track bike, but a specification sheet as long as your arm... So exacting are the standards, Gold Leaf was used for the logos by Altamura. FULL Yoshimura exhaust, reportedly producing 185.6bhp at the back wheel
Fast Bike have surpassed themselves with their dedication toward weight-saving and performance
enhancement, even the exhaust hanger has been changed for a lightweight R&G unit, Dynojet Quickshfter, Promach-Rearsets give extra clearance for trackdays and even the top yoke is a unique billet aluminium Promach yoke. The Yoshimura R-77 complete exhaust saves a lot weight and a Race Air Filter allows the engine to breathe better. To counter the vicious speed, the complete braking system has been upgraded with performance Alpha Tecknik discs & pads & brake hoses for ultimate confidence in stopping. We warn you though, when you do stop, be prepared for the admiring glances and questions you'll receive from envious bikers!This was a 17k bike back in 2011 & I have a copy of the original magazine featuring the bike & its production costs together with all books, 2 keys (one unused), 1st V5, letter & invoice for Suzuki GB recall work done & basically the perfect provenance for am amazing piece of machinery
