Video: Kevin Schwantz thrashes the new Suzuki GSX-R1000R
Rennie Scaysbrook | November 3, 2016
The great Kevin Schwantz appears before you in this little video put together by the gang at Suzuki, as the 1993 500cc World Champion gives the new GSX-R1000R what for at Buttonwillow a couple of weeks ago.
Schwantz, an absolute golden child within the Suzuki ranks (and for good reason), waxes lyrical about one of 2017’s most eagerly awaited machines, calling it “truly amazing” – although we’d expect him to say such a thing for two reasons:
- A) He’s probably on the Suzuki payroll and…
- B) He’s probably telling the truth.
Regardless of this being a pretty subjective video, it’s still nice to see the great man twisting the right wrist on the brand of machine that made him famous during his years at the pinnacle of the sport, and we can’t wait to have a go on this thing to feel for ourselves just what Kevin is talking about.
