In 1986, Suzuki set the new standard in the sport bike class with the release of the first GSX-R750. 35 years later the GSX-R750 is not only still in production, it is the only 750 supersport being sold new today, adding to its storied history as one of the most successful motorcycles of all time. The formula was simple: a larger and more powerful 750 cc engine shoehorned into a 600 cc class chassis offering light weight and excellent handling.
Building on seven years of success and continuous improvements, the GSX-R750W heralded a huge shift for one of Suzuki’s most important bikes. Starting in 1992, the GSX-R750 had an all-new water-cooled engine but Americans would not get the liquid-cooled engine for another year. 1992 was the final year for the air/oil cooled motor here in the US. After 1992, the GSX-R750 benefitted from the inverted front forks, a redesigned headlight, and a refreshed upper cowl.
This example is VIN: GR7BA102000. It came to Iconic as an import from the U.K.
The odometer shows 17,300 miles.
