The GSX-R400 was released in 1984, being based on Yoshimura's TT-F3 racer GS1000R. The GSX-R400 was the first mass produced light weight racer with a liquid cooled four cylinder engine. Twelve-second quarter-miles from just 400cc that's what you need to know about Suzuki's GSX-R. It's a motorcycle designed to devastate the competition in Japan's highly competitive 400cc class.


1989 - 1992 Suzuki GSX-R400

The 1989 Suzuki GSX-R400 feels very similar to its larger brother. Its tiny pegs are high and are a nightmare on the road but they make sense on the track. However, you need to play around with the suspension. On most models the rear is too soft and causes under steer. But once set-up, despite its old-fashioned-looking frame.

When 400 cc ruled the world of motorcycles, Suzuki’s GSX-R400 was the rarest little dinosaur. The Suzuki GSX-R400 feels very similar to its larger brother, but shrunk down. Its tiny pegs are high and are a nightmare on the road but they make sense on the track. However, you need to play around with the suspension.
