While the GSX-R750 debuted in 1985 for most countries, the US first got it and the bigger brother 1100 in 1986. It was an instant classic – an aluminum box frame housed a 128 horsepower oil-cooled engine, and it looked the part thanks to the full bodywork. The dry weight was 433 pounds, an impressively low number for the time.
1988 brought the first big update, starting a generation that Suzuki fans like to call the Slingshot as the bikes used “slingshot” carbs. They were designed as a hybrid of flat-slide carbs and CV carbs, and the term referred to the shape of the slide. Plus, it’s just a great nickname! For 1989, Suzuki brought out an all-new air/oil cooled 1,127cc inline four engine that bumped up output to 143 horsepower and 81 lb-ft of torque.
This example is VIN: GV73B102692.
The odometer shows 22,198 miles.
Maintenance:
In preparation for the listing, the seller had us change the oil and oil filter, replace the brake fluid and brake pads, service the forks, and install a new battery. Additionally, we repaired the rear brake light switch, the passing light, and the horn.
Finally, we had the tank lined at GTL, serviced the chain, freed the clutch plates and replaced the slave cylinder, washed the front calipers and rotors, and installed new Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV with date codes of 1422 and 4422.
