HONDA CBR 1000RR SP2 BSB SUPERSTOCK
There was a time when a ‘stocker’ was relatable to the bike you saw down the dealers… but that’s no longer the case.

In 2001 Suzuki unleashed their all-new sportsbike on to an unsuspecting world. And it was very, very good. When Suzuki pulled the covers off their long-awaited response to the FireBlade and YZF-R1 in 2001, everyone knew it was going to be good. But just how good was the question.
