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 [[cradle frame|double-cradle perimeter frame]], 18-inch wheels and streamlined design based on the factory Formula 1 and Endurance racers. Upon its introduction in 1985, Suzuki's PR department claimed that it was the first aluminum-alloy framed production motorcycle; the truth was that the German firm [[Ardie]] had beaten them to it back in 1930.
