1986 Suzuki GSXR750 info needed..

[kro]

That trademe one looks like a re-paint to me. The lettering looks non-stock. I might be wrong, but like a lot of you, I owned one back in the day, and I'm so damn sure the lettering style was different to that.

Great bike to own, if you see a good one, snap it up.

Don't think you will find one ever that Clean...

Maybe you should also look 10years ahead at the 97-98 GSXR750..

They are far better bikes and just as cheap...From Memory one of the best bikes ive ever ridden was the GSXR750T 1997-1998..

Those do the same stoppies and wheelstands...but are just better all round...and not that more money..

Crazy Steve.

Yeah I was dreaming about owning a Gixxer of that condition. I might look into a few later models.

Cheers for the help guys!

I went from the 85 to a 96 and then a 99. Current bike. The 85 is a very raw version of the 96. The 96 is a nice bike but the 99 with it's fuel injection is just sweet.

I stick with the 750 cos it has all the power I need and can handle. Da wife and I travel two up with a pack and yes I have to us the gear box a bit but it has plenty of power and a comfy pillion seat. And a shit load of fun one up.

The late 89 to 95 gixxers got way to heavy and are pigs. Ok pigs but nothing like the great bikes the 85 and 95 "v" on are.

Pleased I missed that part of the development. Ride them if you are going to the late 89 or pre 95"v" models. The "v" is the modle not reference to the cylinder configuration.

Awesome info, yeah I like the later models but they are wayyyy out of my price range. I'll keep looking...no huge rush, I would like to have a bike in 2 months though. Im hanging out for a ride.

Have a look here.
At the bottom of the page you will see the models. The one on T/m is listed as a special. An 86. Have a look.
