In 1982, Suzuki began development of what would become a total game-changer of a sportbike and the first bonafide Japanese race-replica. Dubbed the GSX-R750, the new road-legal track weapon was unlike anything that had come before it. Suzuki pulled the cover off the first-year GSX-R750 (model code: F) at the 1984 Cologne Motor Show, before its official launch in March of 1985. Upon its release, the Gixxer was unquestionably king, setting a new benchmark in the industry. And unsurprisingly, it didn’t take long for the GSX-R to start winning on the race track. The new model won the 1985 TT with rider Mick Grant, while a young Kevin Schwantz straight up dominated the Transatlantic series.

In the subsequent years, the mighty Gixxer saw a number of revisions before 1990, when the three-quarter-liter beast was given a major model update. That year, Suzuki bestowed the GSX-R750 with a host of features borrowed from the race-spec double-R model (GSX-R750R), including its long-stroke engine layout, lighter pistons, new Mikuni model BST38SS “Slingshot” carbs, upgraded connecting rods and cylinder head, smaller valves, a revised stainless four-into-two-into-one exhaust culminating in a single muffler mounted on the right side, and new suspension that yielded increased adjustability.

Come 1991, the ‘Zook was given its first significant visual makeover, getting a new tail section, less rectangular-shaped side vents in the bodywork, and a new front fender was introduced to better accommodate the inverted front-end (though that last feature didn’t extend to US models).

The biggest change for ’91 was undeniably its new front fairing design. Gone were the original Suzuka-style double headlight arrangement, and in its place was a slanted nose fairing that hid headlights several inches behind a clear headlight cover, giving the bike a more aggressive and contemporary appearance while also bolstering aerodynamics. On top of also getting a new, larger seat, ’91 marked the final year of the oil-cooled SACS-engined version of the Gixxer.

Powering the 1991 Gixxer 750 was an air/oil-cooled, 749cc, 16V, DOHC, inline-four, married to a six-speed constant mesh transmission. All the changes resulted in an output of 116 hp at 11,000 rpm and 57.5 ft-lbs of torque at 10,000rpm, which translated to top speed exceeding 150 mph, and the ability to fire off standing quarter mile sprints in under 11 seconds — despite its approximately 550 lb wet weight.

This example is VIN: GR7AC100754. It came to Iconic as an import from Japan; prior history is not known.
