Up for grabs today is a 1999 Suzuki GSX-R 600 with a claimed link to Matt Mladin. This bike, you see, is purported to have been Matt’s practice machine in the lower classes prior to jumping up to SuperBike. You might have heard of this Matt guy. He won seven AMA titles before retiring in…
Here is a quickie: a 2006 GSX-R1000 reportedly from the Michael Jordan race stable and ridden by Steve Rapp. Rapp did indeed ride for MJM in 2006 – on the #15 bike alongside team mate Jake Holden – and finished 11th in points with a season best of 6th place. 2006 Michael Jordan Motorsports Suzuki…
If a bike like this can’t get your heart beating faster I don’t know what will. You don’t even have to be into race or vintage bikes to appreciate the attention to detail and engineering excellence here.
