Think I saw this bike at Brooklands a few weeks ago,  from a distance it had me flummoxed.  The chap who was showing it was very knowledgeable and brought it home to me just how little I know about them.  Ref gs into gsxr frame as was the original question I say thank God someone does or we lose the talent involved.

seems a pretty pointless excercise if you ask me. 

gsxr motor is lighter and faster, why stick an old boat anchor in there?, apart from the "because i can " and because its different...

 

hell, maybe im getting old....

Look at it as upgrading the running gear on a GS1000  Those Paoli forks are s3xy af
