We all love motorcycles through and through, but typically our passions wane as we get on in years. That isn't the case with 60-year-old Peter Jones though, and judging by his 2004 Suzuki GSX-R1000, his zest for tuned sportbikes is stronger than ever.

Autographs from racers Cal Crutchlow, Chris Walker, John Reynolds and Crescent team owner Paul Denning endorse Peter's ride.
When he's not breaking for tea time Peter's hard on the trick AP Racing brakes, and the high-end performance parts list only starts there. From Marchesini wheels to the adjustable tripe trees this Suzuki is a velocity junky's dream ride.
Inspiration for the build came from Crescent Suzuki-a well-respected tuning firm based in Britain. Considering it's fielded both WSB and MotoGP teams it's safe to say it knows its stuff. Jones modeled his GSX-R on Crescent's good-looking WSB racer, and the result is one of the sharpest bikes on the road.
