Spooking the locals and causing general mayhem in a small town is the perfect amusement for some, and bike owner Matt Montgomery has likely formed a reputation around his hometown of Jonesboro, Arkansas, for just that type of behavior. We see nothing wrong with it, of course, but 193 nitrous-charged horses galloping out of a GSX-R1000 doesn't appeal to the masses-just the twisted SSB crowd.
Montgomery was looking for a unique way to build his bike but wanted to avoid any sort of stretched or fat-tired stance. Instead, he stripped his Suzuki naked and had the bodywork sprayed with mad metal flake in a simple but effective black and red scheme.
The gauge cluster has dual 2-inch speakers in it that are powered by an amp that's been tucked into the tailsection. It all plays through a Sony minidisk player that Montgomery accesses in a hidden spot under the right-side bodywork.
A quiet state like Arkansas isn't typically renowned for being a trendsetter, but now it has more to claim than an adulterous, saxophone-sucking (or was that Monica?) president. Montgomery's understated GSX-R has plenty of attention in all the right parts, and though it doesn't reach out and smack you, it certainly packs a punch.
