There are a nauseating amount of Rizla replicas out there but this is one of the few real deals. For several years, Crescent Suzuki offered Rizla replicas to willing UK buyers. I believe the bike could be ordered as stock or exotic as the customer wanted. This one appears to be upgraded quite a bit more than a previous Rizla rep we’ve featured.

Yes sir, you are official. No Guinness inspired back yard spray job there.
Very tidy looking. The wheels definitely dress it up.
The upgraded brake system and forks.
More signatures for you. I think that is race team manager Paul Denning’s that is upside down in the photo.
She is sharp but too bad these didn’t come from Hamamatsu with some race kit internals to raise the ‘exotic’ factor a few notches.
From the seller:
I spent in the region of £17K when I bought her new with this specification, and have enjoyed every single mile I’ve ridden on her.
As a result of these carefully chosen enhancements and the professional set up, she rides supremely, steers like a 600cc bike, has the mid-range power and response that would embarrass current litre bikes and the top end rush to rival them.
She is listed on Ebay UK for considerably less than the sellers original investment.

why, oh why can’t I get a contracting gig in the UK? Then again, its probably better that I dont…I would be so poor…but my garage would be awesome!
