  • A desirable first generation, JDM example

Launched in 1985, the oil-cooled GSXR750 revolutionized the sports bike market, making every other manufacturer's offerings obsolete overnight and dominating production-based racing around the world. Suddenly, you could go to your local shop and buy a race-ready bike over the counter, just take off the mirrors and indicators and race it that weekend. Famously, Trevor Nation rode an early GSXR750F to a couple of Formula One World Championship races in Portugal and Spain with his tent strapped on the back, running in the top six in both races until problems with the gear change linkage slowed him down. The GSXR range eventually spread out to include race replicas from 250cc to 1100cc models.

A Japanese Domestic Market example that was imported to the UK in 1992, ‘B639 NKA’ has been kept in a heated, dehumidified garage since entering the current ownership twenty-seven years later. Part of the vendor’s Japanese motorcycle collection, the first generation model has previously been magazine featured. Not run of late, the GSXR750F will require recommissioning prior to use. Increasingly sought after, this iconic Suzuki is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, two keys and the aforementioned magazine article.
