The [[air cooling|air]]/[[oil-cooled]] motor had cylinder dimensions of 70,0 x 48,7 mm and had 29 mm flat slide carbs. In a racing trim (there was a tuning kit available for competitive racing) the GSX-R750 engine provided 130 bhp. The new high-tech engine was narrower than earlier inline-fours and materials like magnesium was used to keep the weight down to minimum. | The [[air cooling|air]]/[[oil-cooled]] motor had cylinder dimensions of 70,0 x 48,7 mm and had 29 mm flat slide carbs.

The components of the bike are all high quality but make sure that the tires, [[suspension]] and bearings are all in good condition or the bike can scare the living daylight out of you! The GSX-R750 engine is considered as reliable but we all know that there is no such thing as bulletproof engines. The frame of the early models is not that rigid and bend easily when dropped. | The components of the bike are all high quality but make sure that the tires, [[suspension]] and bearings are all in good condition or the bike can scare the living daylight out of you!
