British-Based Aussie Brendan Roberts has won the 2006 National Superstock Championship with three rounds to spare on his Crescent supplied Suzuki GSX-R1000 – and you can buy a near-identical Superstock Race Specification bike for the road for less than £10,000. Crescent – also home to the official Rizla Suzuki BSB and MotoGP teams - supplied Brendan with his Suzuki GSX-R1000 built to Superstock rules. Able to lap within a few seconds of full Superbike pace, Brendan has won six of the 10 races in the Championship so far this season.
Brendan, 21, from Grantham in Lincolnshire, said: “This season has been a dream come true for me and to win the Superstock Championship at Croft last weekend was just ace. The Suzuki GSX-R1000 was the right tool for the job and the performance it offers is nothing short of outstanding. Thank you to my team, sponsors and to Crescent for all their support and help!”
The Crescent Superstock Race Specification road bike features the same modifications allowed under the Superstock rules – a replacement Ohlins rear shock, modified forks with Ohlins internals, a replacement Suzuki/Yoshimura tri-oval end can, a Power Commander and Goodridge Race Lines.
Each bike will be tuned in Crescent’s dyno facility to offer near identical performance to Brendan’s Championship winning bike. The Superstock Race Specification bike will cost £9999.
The only difference between Brendan’s racer and the road legal Crescent Superstock Race Specification bike is the absence of a competition fairing - but if you want to race, then Crescent can supply fairings starting from just £485.
Crescent Retail Director Martyn James said: “The GSX-R1000 is the performance bike to own for sports riders and Brendan’s emphatic victory in the Superstock Championship simply underlines its credentials.
“We are proud to have supplied Brendan with his bike and performance parts in 2006, and are offering road riders the chance to buy a Superstock Race Specification GSX-R1000, tuned to the same high level. Given the proven performance, this bike is exceptional value for money.”
