Former MCM Fastline Suzuki Endurance race bike

[Motocyco Girl]

In 1994 this was touted at the world's fastest endurance race bike. We acquired the bike late in 1994 & it was raced in CCS, NASB, & Formula USA.
The bike didn't run for nine years & we even considered using it to make a cool bar in our house. It was just such an awesome bike we couldn't part with it.
It has PM aluminum wheels, & PM brakes, titanium exhaust, it's bored out to a 1200, key & flat slides, ported head, lightened cam shafts, 6 speed transmission, & converted to a mechanical clutch, corillo rods, titanium fastners & axles, total loss ignition, kosman adjustable triple clamps, KBY race only ports, a fox shock & link, & a 750 swing arm.
It weighs about 375lbs & has approx. 170hp at the rear wheel.

Well, we turned this 1993 Suzuki GSXR1100 into a Streetfighter drag bike instead. I did the paint....it's a psychadellic marblized flame combo with a tattooed looking Raptor headlight assembly.

The wheelie bar is a Motocyco design....made from phenolic material.....it uses a suspression of the suspension to put more rubber to the ground for drag racing. It's a quick bolt-on/off set-up that requires no alteration to the bike's suspension or swing arm. We can take it off & ride the bike without in less than an hour.

We also put a Psycho Tail section on the bike, a custom design front fender, all the custom bricken brackets, & a Raptor headlight to give it that "what is it" quality.

Of course the bike is piece of motorcycling history compared to what you can find rolling right out of the box these days, but she is still a beautiful machine in our eyes! A unique bike with a racing heritage & so many awesome features.

It looks sweet, not too sure about the headlight but the tail unit

Last Sunday there was a drag event at the Wisconsin International Speedway near our home base. So we were shooting to get her together & running......as I said before, after not starting ONCE in nine years.....for this event. It would give us an opportunity to test out the wheelie bar.

Last week.....before the body work & tank were finished with paint, we rigged up a tempory fuel cell & attempted to push start the bike on the road in front of our shop. (Our neighbors are ever getting the bike show) She's a push starter.....so with Dave sitting on the frame rails & a fire extinguisher road side, a good friend of ours who's an ace bike mechanic, RJ, gave dave the run down the road.

After giving RJ the opportunity to warm up by NOT having the switch on....(RJ expressed his appreciation using language not befitting a lady, while panting for air) Dave hit the switch & the bike started right up with that very distinct sound from the carbarator. & Down the road he went. The front wheel went right off the ground right away & of course he had to light the tire up a bit......but then we shut her down. Not much fuel in the cell & with those kind of operations you can never rule out a fire.

Then night before the races we were up very late, getting the painted pieces on, & dealing with last minute issues (they always arise) In the end we got the bike to the track & got to ride in the practice runs with this one....but weren't allowed in the actual races due to the push start. So, now we're making a "starter" out of a chainsaw motor.
We learned that the wheelie bar works. We figured out the tweaking we need to do on it to increase its performance & we are going back to the track once completed.

it different i guess and if you like that sort thing is a very nice example . What with the anti-wheelie thing?? why not just lengten the swingarm or something.

Bet it stands out at a bike meet though!

We have a few other things to wrap up on the bike before we're satisfied. All our bikes have a yin yang painted somewhere on them....this represents a balance between styling & performance. We like to make them look good....but what's the point if it's uncomfortable to ride or messes with the performance/handling.
So that's gotta find it's place still...

And then we are also adding a brass knuckle brake reservoir like the one in the picture.

That is a complete waste of a bike, it was built as a racer. LEAVE IT LIKE THAT!! Theres plenty of old GSXR11's around for you to butcher.

Would you have done that to one of Carl Fogarty's 916's or Mick Doohans NSR's?

I think it looks stunning, but mick does have a point. The bike had a place in history and one of the least "respectful" things one can do is erase its image. At the same time, it gives its new image an instant history, which is probably part of why it was done. In the end, however, it's still basically the original bike and could be returned to its original state by any subsequent owners in posession of money trees.

Not my style, but it's certainly different! Bet it stands out big time at the meets.

waste of a descent machine that was.

Why do all that work to it and not run it i can sense an feeling of
