Title: Crescent Limited Edition
Post by: ibrakeformoose on Thursday, 24 December 2020, 03:18 AM
Just picked this one up.. Yoshi cams, Cyclone, Ohlins, (allegedly blueprinted) and loads of other bits and bobs..

Apparently only 9 made, with Paul Denning keeping one for himself, came with certificates and build sheet.

Anyone else seen one/have one??

Very nice - first I've seen / heard of that special. Been kept very tidy as well by looks of things, but I can see why you want to change the seat

Blueprinted motor would be interesting to confirm  :whatever:

I did that on a HD Roadking when I lunched a lifter. Worth the $7,000 spent. HP from 58 to 88 and loads more torque.  :onya:

Where the flames already on it ?  :boogie:

I have the build sheets and documentation from Crescent, so it does says blueprinted (as well as all the other stuff) and the cylinder head is engraved with the signature of the tech..

Yes, the flames were on it from new.. all lettering is proper gold leaf too.. :cool:

The fuel pump failed which is why the seller chose to get rid of it and his local dealer fitted a used one, removed the Power Commander and kept it.

I rang the and they told me they threw it away as it wasn't working properly (likely story!!)   ??? ???

Very nice spec and well set up , saw it on Ebay, you got yourself a bargain

Sorry can't remember, don't think so, chap I got it from bought it new and Crescent supplied it with all the original parts as well so he had brand new shocks, Cams, Exhaust etc all in a box. Be good money in that little lot now 😁

Nice looking bike @ibrakeformoose  :onya:

I can't rate Crescent Suzuki highly enough. I popped into their showroom while down in Bournemouth many years ago for some help with fitting GSX-R digital clocks to my Mk1 Bandit 1200 build. Bare  in mind, Fowlers of Bristol had already told me it wasn't possible to fit them for a number of reasons. One of their Techs took the time to sit down with me and go through wiring diagrams which he photocopied and gave me at no cost. The clocks were duly fitted and are still working to this day. Brilliant service!
