Suzuki rewrote the 750-class rulebook when it launched the GSX-R750 on an unsuspecting world back in 1985. The 'Gixxer's development had been heavily influenced by lessons learned from the works TT F1 and Endurance racers of the late 1970s and early 1980s; lighter than a 600 and as powerful as a 1000, t made all other super-sports 750s seem flabby and slow. One of the modern era's few instant classics and the sole surviving Japanese 750cc sports bike, he GSX-R750 has been a huge commercial success for Suzuki and enjoys cult status today. The GSX-R750 was, nd is, superb machine and an excellent example of Japanese motorcycle engineering at its most refined.
Hiroshi Fujiwara, ho was in charge of the basic layout of this first model, ividly recalls the excitement of his team at the beginning of the project. "This pure Supersport model was our first 750cc bike featuring an aluminum frame of unprecedented light weight and superb torsional rigidity. We had no real competitors in the market, ther than factory racing machines."
The oil-cooled 4-stroke, -cylinder engine of the GSX-R750 delivered more than 100bhp in a 395lb package. That’s the power of a 1-liter bike in the weight of a 400!!
Suzuki's new 750 performed admirably in the AMA Superbike Championship and FIM World Endurance Championship and quickly became the racebike of choice among private riders worldwide, hanks to durability and affordability. When American rider Kevin Schwantz rode the GSX-R750 into second place at the 1986 AMA Daytona 200, is name became synonymous with the machine. Victories in AMA Championship and the Le Mans and Bol d'Or 24-hour endurance events soon followed, o anchor the beginning of GSX-R750's winning history.
Presented here is the earliest version of the legendary Suzuki GSX-R750 family, he increasing desirability of which has seen values climb steadily in recent years. An early ’86 model, t is the actual bike featured in the “25 years of the GSXR” shoot out in the June 2011 edition of Motorcyclist Magazine, copy of which is included in the sale.
The bike runs exceptionally well. It starts easily, dles well and has great power delivery. It shifts through all gears perfectly with a good clutch. Suspension feels taut and the brakes work very well, ront and rear. Cosmetically the bike is in good condition with only very minor scuffs on a bike with 17,000 miles, hat is 32 years old. Testament to the meticulous care of the machine.
The bike comes with a clean, lear California title.
These are not bikes for the inexperienced or faint-hearted, ith huge wheelie-popping performance on tap as the revs rise.
