The Swift Racer RS is painted in the blue and neon green livery of Team Suzuki Ecstar, the outfit that represents the Japanese manufacturer in MotoGP.
It also features 17-inch alloys, a stripped-out cockpit with Recaro racing seats, and more. No word on what engine the Racer RS runs, but we’ll place our bets on the 1.0-litre BoosterJet turbo-petrol motor.
Alongside the Swift Racer RS, Suzuki will also showcase a similarly done up Ignis at the Tokyo Auto Salon. Called the Ignis Motocrosser Style, it will wear Suzuki’s off-road motorcycle racing team’s livery while featuring a roll-cage, AT rubber and Recaro seats.
