Though we have covered many Gixxers, we have never had one of these 2014 Yoshimura Limited Edition bikes on our site. I looked to CycleWorld for some background info. In January of 2015 they had this to say:
“Yoshimura has always been one of the innovators in the aftermarket industry, so when we saw the company’s GSX-R1000 Limited model on display at the recent Circuit of The Americas MotoGP race, it definitely piqued our interest: a lusciously deep custom paint job with numerous CNC-machined/gold-anodized crash protection pieces and accessories, one of the company’s Signature Series exhausts, and only 45 being built this year makes the GSX-R1000 a desirable bike for GSX-R fans. But the Yoshimura Limited represents so much more than its parts and paint job that we’re sure most don’t see the significance.
We know what some of you are thinking: “Big deal. There’s no real performance parts on it like a racing exhaust or pistons/cams or trick suspension. So what?”
It’s important to understand the premise behind the Limited. “The Yoshimura GSX-R1000 Limited is not meant to be a rolling display of our ultimate racing technology that would be out of reach to all but the most affluent enthusiasts and not be legal to ride on the street,” notes Dave Waugh, Yoshimura R&D of America’s director of sales. “And it’s not a moneymaker for the company by any stretch of the imagination. What it is meant to be is a very exclusive motorcycle that is actually within reach of our core consumer that can be purchased at a dealership and be fully legal to ride.” ….
But it’s the “legal” term that makes all the difference here. In order for a motorcycle to be fully street legal in all aspects, it needs to pass all federal EPA (and in California, CARB—the California Air Resources Board state emissions entity—as well) standards. Normally when you install even a slip-on exhaust, you are technically in violation of federal law because you have “tampered” with the stock exhaust that was originally approved for use on that motorcycle, and that includes the muffler section.
The Yoshimura Signature Series exhaust that is on the Limited, however, fully meets or exceeds all EPA/CARB standards. This means it underwent a comprehensive test regimen by an EPA/CARB-licensed testing facility and completely passed all the requirements for noise, etc. It has the same stamped badge on it that states the exhaust system meets all federal standards as you’ll find on any stock exhaust system—only the Yoshimura system obviously looks and sounds a whole lot better than stock. ….
The “published” suggested retail price for the GSX-R1000 Limited will technically be $18,995, but Waugh says, “We prefer to leave the determination of the final price up to the dealer. “
If you are a Gixxer fan, you already know. For those who have not yet experienced the GSXR, Adi Desai put it simply in Double Clutch Magazine when he said, “The GSX-R is a rider’s bike, and it does nothing to hide this.”
Put on a tuxedo and ride this around town!
Good luck to the buyer and seller.
