I Want: Carbon-fiber Suzuki GSX-R 1100

Posted by Douglas Charles on March 3rd, 2009 at 4:00 pm

While this carbon-fiber cycle isn’t near as cool as the last one I wanted it will still get me that much closer to thinking I am Batman when I am out riding… and probably much cheaper since I can Buy It Now on eBay for $14,500.

1989 oil-cooled GSX-R 1100 engine with Wiseco kit. Stock ’89 wheels and swingarm are on it at the moment. Everything else is custom! The entire frame, seat & tank are formed from the same piece of carbon fiber with honeycomb core for strength. Bringing total weight to 350 lbs for a 1200! Custom rearsets, triple, levers, reservoirs, lights, LED accent lights, and a bunch of custom aluminum bodywork.

Now all I need to do is start working out, get me a sweet Kevlar suit and start fighting crime.

UPDATE: This’ll go great with my Batman hoodie!
