EB Speed ProStreet GSXR
2006 SUZUKI GSXR1000
Canadian drag racing champion Ethan Barkely likes his bike wired tight. His 2006 Gixxie Thou is wired tighter than Dick’s hatband. Running a professional drag race bike requires a certain attention to detail that eludes the average person. A certain desire for endless repetition, note-taking, control adjusting, and the odd maniacal highspeed pass or two. It’s a singular desire for speed, completely devoid of any creature comforts – such as turns. It is as pure as it is mental. And we mean that in the kindest way.
The clutch is the absolute key to Ethan’s Suzuki: a mechanical jewel of a Multistage Generation 2 lock-up style executed in anodized gold. In order to stay competitive, Ethan rebuilds the clutch after every run. That’s one hour of maintenance for every seven seconds of riding. Those are not the type of numbers that make most motorcyclists smile. But Ethan is a different breed. Tinkering with clutches makes Ethan happier than a dog with two peters. That’s a Canadian colloquialism for pleased.
