Visit to Cresecent Suzuki - pics
 

Had a brief visit to Crescent Suzuki yesterday with JR to be "fitted" to the bikes he will test at Croft next week. While there I was lucky enough to be able to take a few pics.

The place is a proper Alladdin's cave of trick stuff, get the fork stand with 6 pairs of factory Ohlins forks at 20 grand a set. That stand holds a cool 120 grand worth of Ohlins finest! And thats not including the forks on the bikes of which there were 4 in the shop! Incidentally, JR runs the older non gas forks.

Well the answer is JR will test at Croft next week with the intention of competing in ALL the remaining rounds of the BSB.

Sure is a genuine RGV, Paul (Denning) has GP bikes dotted all over the workshops and showroom. If you've never been to Crescent, it's well worth a visit. As professional and outfit as I've ever seen, and could teach some of the so called "solus Ducati" outfits a thing or two.

As for the Q regarding forks -
Just looked, and I seem to have Oh somethings in the front at the moment........:sing:

Crescent did the power commander and fuelling set-up on my MV 750 - superb outfit, totally professional. They got 122bhp out of it, I was amazed. Great 'photos John :D

Ding Dang Do !!!! Great pics fella - hope you're well!!

Whats JR doing on my K5 :lol:

Hopefully riding it a bit faster than he has been of late. I know he's my mate, but I really hope he does well now he's back on the bike.

Cresecent Suzuki in Verwood is bling central. Been there loads of times, one of the best showrooms I've ever seen, with actual race bikes dotted about, Walksers 2000 Gixxer 750 is upstairs. There's many dealers out there who could learn a thing or 2 about showrooms. I remember their first showroom in Charminster (which is still open). It was a right dive, but they still sold me a RG500!! Since Paul took over, he's spent some serious cash.

Nice avtar Heners!

nice one john

cheers guys, will post some more from JR's Croft test next week
