If Santa was looking for a more hardcore and faster way of traveling what would he turn to? The answer of course is Drew’s 2004 Suzuki GSXR 1000. With the huge 300mm rear tire and enough red powder coating to make even Santa blush, this bike makes one hell of a hardcore ride.

The stock 2004 GSXR 1000 having 160.5 horsepower and 81.1 foot pounds of torque on tap out of the box makes the perfect platform to base any build. Helping out the performance side of things Drew decided on the addition of a free flowing dump exhaust and a NX Nitrous System which tucks perfect into the extended swing arm courtesy of C & S.

Getting all the power to ground was next on the list. Chrome PM Gaitlin Wheels wraped in Avon rubber aided in getting the power were it counts. Body wise the addition of a chrome tail and mirror block offs were all that the Gixxer needed to achieve the look Drew was after. Additional chrome include rear brake master cylinder, rear sprocket, nitrous tank, grips, upper triple trees, reservoir caps, rear caliper, revolver bar ends and sick shooter frame sliders that double as a nitrous purge.
Powder coat being a big part of this bike, Drew turned to a well know company Alternative Powder coating. The adjustable Vortex front and rear sets were powder coated black. The frame, sub frame, front rotor carrier, rear caliper bar, gas tank lid and gun foot pegs were powder coated a bright red.

In the braking department, racing clutch and brake levers from CRG were used, further helping braking are front and rear galfer rotors while red braided brake lines keep braking pressure at full capacity. Finishing the build off is a smoked taillight with integrated turn signals and a red 530 chain.

This Suzuki GSXR with its bright red powder coat, big rear tire, extended swing arm, and a shot of the laughing gas is a worthy ride for any hardcore rider, especially one as hardcore as the all mighty Santa Claus.
