Description

Additional photos are available here for your perusal.

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.

As Bennetts found in its review, “On the open road it was astonishing. Fast and torquey like nothing else I’d ridden, but nimble too, feeling like what I imagined a proper race bike would as it flicked from left to right on the smallest of rider inputs.”

This example is VIN: GU47B102256. It came to Iconic as an import; prior history is not known.

The odometer shows 24,689 miles.

Maintenance:
In preparation for the listing, the seller had us replace the battery, the spark plugs, the fuel lines, the fuel filter, the petcock vacuum line, the air filter, the fork seals, and the clutch slave cylinder. We also rebuilt the clutch master cylinder, cleaned and bead-blasted the rear master cylinder, and had a set of keys made. Finally, we soldered the taillight leads, removed the tank pad and cleaned the tank, and installed new tires with date codes of 2622 and 2622.
