Insider trading: 'This year we'll be happy to sell 30 GSX...

[Kwacky]

Not a single price list on that crescent site that I could find.

30 doesn't sound like a lot of bikes¿ Wonder how cheap you'll be able to pick one up for in the winter? There must be gsx-r's sitting in showrooms they are desperate to shift.

[Kwacky]

That was my thought. I was wondering how much a Gixxer6 would be.

[DaytonAndy]

I would have to go for the 750. Seems like not that long ago the gixxer 1000 was considered the animal to have. Now they can't sell them.

Totally agree, 10yrs ago they dominated the market, now they can barely give them away, I don't think they're heading for bankruptcy though, as their car side is buoyant, especially as VAG own 20% of Suzuki anyway. It's shame they aren't putting more money into performance bikes, but if the returns aren't there I suppose its just good business.

It's a shame I loved my gsxr 750 but it seems if bikes don't have the latest new tangled electronics they are old hat
I prefer my bike to be meat and two veg not interested in traction control ec,always lusted after a john Reynolds crescent rep

Crescent have just tweeted a photo of a brand new GSX-R750Z in red (this isn't it)

It's a special edition with bits of bling on it.



OTR Price of £10,032. I reckon you could get one for a lot less than that. Looks good in red as well.

[DaytonAndy]

Great news: only 100 of this special edition being produced. Suzuki must have very high hopes for it!

[Kwacky]

I suspect they'll be happy to sell 100 of them.
