00:00Ever thought about an exhaust manufacturer building a motorcycle that feels like a full-on
00:04race machine? Well, Yoshimura actually pulled that off with the Tornado S1, a super rare
00:09bike released in 2002, with only 50 units ever made worldwide. It wasn't built completely
00:14from scratch. They used the first generation Suzuki GSX-R1000 as the base, but don't get
00:18it twisted. Almost every part was heavily modified to push performance to the absolute
00:22limit. The 988cc inline-four engine is seriously aggressive, pumping out up to 170 horsepower
00:28at 12,000 RPM. And to make things even smoother for the rider, it comes with a six-speed
00:32transmission paired with a quick shifter, so gear changes feel effortless. And it doesn't
00:36stop there. Yoshimura loaded it up with premium components, from Olin's suspension, BBS wheels,
00:41high-performance brakes, all the way to a full carbon fiber body. The end result? A machine
00:45that's not just insanely fast, but also carries that raw, aggressive aura of a race bike, yet
00:50still street legal.
