THE 1985 SUZUKI GS SX-R750

Building on th he success of the XR69 racer, Suzuki blew the worl ld’s socks off when it released the iconic GSX-R7 750 street bike in 1985. At a time when sportsb bikes had wide bars and lacked fairings, the S uzuki proved revolutionary with its 106bhp air r/oil-cooled motor. It wasn’t too lardy either, weighingw in at under 200kg and sporting a Dire ect Air Intake System (a basic form of ram air).a The Gixer was a head turner that pe erformed as well on the roads as it didd on the tracks, where it quickly becam me a favourite in the endurance rac cing world.
