The GSXR 750 entered the market in March 1985. This "Limited Edition" GSXR has only 854 original Kilometers, is in excellent condition and is one of the most collectable of all of the metric street racers to exist! A true classic! The GSXR 750 was built to compete in the various worldwide championships, as well as to be used on the street. It is considered to be one of the very first street legal racers (there had been a number of sports machines, but the GSXR 750 was something else). It was a revolutionary motorcycle with specifications to over 100 hp output, less than 180 kg dry mass, 55° leaning angle, lightweight alloy double-cradle perimeter frame, 18-inch wheels and streamlined design based on the factory Formula 1 and Endurance racers. Selling with No Reserve.

The air/oil-cooled motor had cylinder dimensions of 70,0 x 48,7 mm and had 29 mm flat slide carbs. In a racing trim (there was a tuning kit available for competitive racing) the GSXR 750 engine provided 130 bhp. The new high-tech engine was narrower than earlier in-line fours, and materials like magnesium were used to keep the weight down to a minimum.

The GSXR 750 was basically a street-legal under tuned version of the works GS1000R racer. The flat slide carburetors gave faster response to the throttle compared to the vacuum carburetors. It also required the rider to be more gentle with the throttle. There were no compromises, it was very quick and could be thrilling, and at the same time dangerous, in the hands of even the well seasoned, skillful rider .

There are not many bikes out there in mint condition, such as our example, as most of them are ridden very hard and have long since seen their best days. Nevertheless, the evolution of modern sports bikes started with the GSXR 750. This bike is selling with a clear title and NO RESERVE!!
