Although we don’t make it a habit to feature standard issue bikes that are made to look like something else, we’ve made an exception to the rule and for good cause.
Submitted to us by a family member of the owner is this extremely nice replica of the Suzuki LE GSXR 750 Skoal Bandit bike.
As you can see it was a tremendous restoration undertaking and transformation of a standard GSXR 1100 to replicate a GSXR 750 LE Skoal Bandit. I’ve looked at both pictures countless times and I’m impressed to say the least. Now obviously, there are some very minor differences, but the integrity to recreate shines through in the attention to the details.
Here are some more pictures for you to look at.
Pretty impressive huh?
Here are some words from the seller:
The bike is fully stock and was fully restored from the frame up by a certified Suzuki mechanic and meticulously reassembled. Paint job is show quality Pearl (picture doesn’t do justice to the real thing!)
Entire engine has been examined by the professional Suzuki mechanic and although the odometer shows 15,594 miles, only approximately 100 have been driven after restoration (tires still new). It’s also been garage kept and covered, maintained, cleaned, and shown! A real classic bike!
The Skoal Bandit was a rare paint scheme for the 750R with only 50 produced. I created a replica of that bike with the more powerful 1100R!
The only way to obtain a product like this is to invest copious amounts of time and money into a project…or to get lucky and buy it from a fool like me who had already done so, just to sell it for HALF the money that was invested!
There are rare bikes that frequent our site on a regular basis and there are rare bikes that are never made available. The Skoal Bandit Suzuki GSXR 750 is one of the latter so as the saying goes “if you can’t beat’em, join’em!” What better way to join them than to fool everyone into thinking that you have officially “joined them”
There are a lot more pictures available for your viewing over at the auction site.
Good luck with the sale!
Cheers!

Too bad the “Skoal Bandit” decal on the fairing side is totally crooked – it should follow the same angle as the stripes. This detail lets down the otherwise seriously tasty job.
Yes, I see it was well. As usual, good eye Dallas

Good spot, Dallas. However, a nice job done all round.
I liked this bike a lot. See my bike on the lastinlive you tube channel. GSXR1100
