2019 ISLAND CLASSIC
P90
Feature
What a beast! We had a
blast on the big Suzuki.
Braced swingarm has a lot of power to
handle and get to the ground.
The front AP brakes are surprisingly good,
although they lacked feel at the lever.
Mark Miller (18) rode like a
demon, especially considering
he hasn't raced for two years.
C
lassic racing is a fickle business, especially when you start talk-
ing Forgotten Era P5/International Challenge racing. Originally,
I was due to ride a beautiful Suzuki GSX1000 XR69 entered by local
construction business owner, Mick Neeson. However, after a series
of mechanical gremlins, the brand-new motor cried enough after
the fourth session of the first day and it looked like I'd just flown
halfway around the world for six laps of Phillip Island. Not ideal.
