Description
In 1990, Suzuki introduced an all-new GSX-R400 for the Japanese market with the code name GK76A. Fierce competition in the 400cc category amongst the Japanese manufactures was fueled by the restrictive riders licensing rules in Japan that favored smaller displacement bikes and the TT-F3 racing class that spurred continual development of the models from the big four Japanese builders.
The GSX-R400 was originally launched in Japan in 1984 with the GK71 model, featuring a liquid-cooled inline four cylinder engine with DOHC, four valves per cylinder and close to 60 hp. Lighter than its rivals (under 350 lbs wet), the aluminum framed Suzuki became a hit with its excellent handling, more-than-adequate brakes, and a race-derived heritage.
These unique wall art tanks are produced by Parc Ferme Moto Art. The artist has been a good friend of Iconic’s and Bike-urious for over a decade and has produced an extremely unique and limited production run of gas tank wall art available exclusively through Iconic Motorbike Auctions. These ultra rare tanks are from a legendary collection of illustrious bikes. Stay tuned for subsequent listings of these amazing art pieces and get yours while supplies last.
The art piece measures 28″x20″x9″ and our transport department estimates shipping from our warehouse in Santa Monica to the continental US be around $150 via Fedex ground. The seller states “This is an homage to the classic 90’s GSXR line of bikes, the distinct frame and the thin fuel tank were trademarks of the early 90s GSX-R line all the way from the 400 up to the 1100. This tank is from a GK76 1992 GSX-R400, this is #1/2 that I made, #2 ended up getting sold to a friend, so this will be the only one offered. The paint scheme here is the latter end of the run on the GK76 circa 1995/96.”
Currently located in Santa Monica, California, this Suzuki tank art is offered on a bill of sale. Have any GSX-R400 stories or questions about this listing? Let us know in the “Comments” tab!
