Description

Additional photos are available here for your perusal.

In the long line of Gixxers, the ’89 “RK” model is considered by some to be the most special of them all.

The RK was also known as the RR – no matter what you called it, it was rare. Just 500 were built for homologation purposes, none of which were officially sold in the US.

Suzuki lengthened the stroke of the motor to make it easier for race teams to tune, and there were extra goodies like a magnesium cylinder head cover, Mikuni BST-40 carb, close-ratio gearbox, stronger clutch with an additional plate, aluminum fuel tank, quick disconnect fiberglass bodywork, wider wheels, lower handlebars, repositioned footpegs, thinner seat, 43mm front fork with rebound and compression adjustment, and 310mm front disc brakes.

Rounding off the package was, in Suzuki’s words, a “chain with special gold-colored outer plates, creating an impressive gold line.”

This example is VIN: GR79C100229. This example came to us from a collection in Japan.

A previous owner swapped out the original 180 km/h speedometer/odometer for a 300 km/h unit. True mileage is unknown. The original odometer shows 6,567 kilometers (4,080 miles), but we do not know how many kms were on the replacement odometer when it was installed.

Maintenance:
In preparation for the listing, our service department cleaned the carburetors, cleaned and rebuilt the petcock, and replaced the spark plugs, the oil, and the battery. They also installed new Pirelli Rosso II tires with date codes of 3221 and 0722.
