Please Note: This bike is a part of the Whistler Collection.
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.
This example is VIN: GR79A100124, Engine #: R713-100132. The seller acquired it in July 2013 from The Bike Specialists in Sheffield, England.
During his ownership, the seller has covered 1,236 miles. The odometer shows 19,063 miles.
