A special livery of the GSX-8S built by Suzuki Italy to mark 30 years since Kevin Schwantz won the 500 cc world championship. It wears a white base with black, red and green stripes and his number 34, and was made in a tiny numbered run for sale only in Italy. Mechanically it matches the standard bike.
