The GSX-R750 is a 750cc DOHC four-stroke super sport motorcycle made by Suzuki beginning in 1985.
Intro
The GSX-R750 was built to compete in the various worldwide championships as well as to be used on the street. It is considered as one the very first street-legal racers, there had been a number of sports machines but the GSX-R750 was something else. It was a revolutionary motorcycle with specifications like over 100 hp power output, less than 180 kg dry mass, 55° leaning angle, lightweight alloy double-cradle perimeter frame, 18-inch wheels and streamlined design based on the factory Formula 1 and Endurance racers.
The 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 GSX-R750 was basically a street-legal and detuned version of the works GS1000R racer. The flat slide carburetors gave faster response to the throttle compared to the vacuum carburetors. It also required the rider to be more gently with the throttle. There were no compromises, it was very quick in hands of a skillful rider but could be experienced as nervous and even dangerous.
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 GSX-R750 entered the market in March 1985. There's not many bikes out there in mint condition, most of them are ridden very hard and seen their best days. Nevertheless the evolution of modern sports bikes started with the GSX-R750. It's a real classic.
Video showing the evolution of the GSX-R750 from 1985-2007
1986 GSX-R750G
- V.I.N. #: JS1GR75A G2100001
- ENGINE #: R705-
- ENGINE TYPE: 749cc 4 Strk. 4 Cyl.
- MODEL CODE: 27A
- COLOR: Black & Red, White & Blue
- 4 into 1 exhaust
- Aluminum frame
- S.A.C.S. decal on side covers
Even though the GSX-R was doing extremely well in showrooms, it wasn't winning everything in sight on the racetrack. Kevin Schwantz's first season aboard the GSX-R, 1986, netted a single win in AMA Superbike. The title that year was won by Honda's aluminum framed VFR750 piloted by Fred Merkel.
1986 GSX-R750RG
- V.I.N. #: JS1GR75A G2100001
- ENGINE PREFIX: R705-
- ENGINE TYPE: 749cc 4 Strk. 4 Cyl.
- MODEL CODE: 27A
- COLOR: Blue & Red & White
- Blue wheels
- Race type seat and tail cover
- Dry clutch
1987 GSX-R750H
- V.I.N. #: JS1GR75A H2100001
- ENGINE PREFIX: R705-
- ENGINE TYPE: 749cc 4 Strk. 4 Cyl.
- MODEL CODE: 27A
- COLOR: Blue & White, Red & Black
- S.AC.S. decal on lower fairing
- New racing type front fender
1988 GSX-R750J
- V.I.N. #: JS1GR77A J2100001
- ENGINE PREFIX: R708-
- ENGINE TYPE: 748cc 4 Strk. 4 Cyl.
- MODEL CODE: 17C
- COLOR: Red & White, Blue & White
- 3 spoke mag wheels
- 4 into 2 exhaust
- Sling shot decal under 750 on side panels
- 11 hp increase at rear wheel (nearly as much as the GSX-R1100)
The GSX-R750J saw a wholesale revision of the bike, with every part of its design - engine, frame, suspension, bodywork -dramatically revised. This was a change in two years a dramatically faster revision than the standard four year model lifetime. It featured a radical short-stroke version of the oil-cooled engine, increasing stroke by 4mm and bore by 3mm, which allowed for rpms up to 13,000. Suzuki also ducted cool air from the front fairing to the airbox; a nascent form of ram air that while not high in pressure allowed for lower intake air temperatures.
1989 GSX-R750K
- V.I.N. #: JS1GR77A K2100001
- ENGINE PREVIX: R708-
- ENGINE TYPE: 748cc 4 Strk. 4 Cyl.
- MODEL CODE: 17C
- COLOR: Blue & White, Red & White
- Stainless steel covered muffler
- Adjustable front brake lever position
1989 GSX-R750RK
- Only 500 made.
The '89 GSX-R750R was a revision to the previous long-stroke format of the original GSX-R mainly aimed at small teams who wanted to continue using their hard-earned tuning knowledge. It came with special race bodywork and significant revisions to make the bike a true "out of the crate" racer.
1990 GSX-R750L

- Four-into-one stainless steel exhaust
- Hyper Sports decal on fairing
- 88 rearwheel hp - was actually an ~2hp decrease but had much more midrange torque, particularly around 5,000 rpm.
Suzuki reverted back to the long-stroke format and used an engine similar to the '89 GSX-R750R.
