Now that the hustle and bustle of of the holidays is half over I thought I’d take a break and give homage to a classic Suzuki with super duper low mileage.
We don’t find these very often and I suspect 99.9% of them have been well used by now, but every now and then one will pop up on the RSBFS.com radar.

Pretty nice eh? It’s hard to believe that I’ve resorted to calling this a classic, but I have to come to terms with it at some point. Of course, I’m speaking about my age more so than the year of the bike, but this blog isn’t the place for my tears of pain…
Oil cooled GSX-R’s were king of the street, but other than 1989 that showroom success wasn’t transferred to the AMA tracks until 1999 when Matt Mladin took his first of 7 AMA crowns. Nonetheless, I still have a soft spot for 90’s GSX-R’s and still think their baby blue stripes look stylish.
I wasn’t real sure on this one so I enlisted a well known RSBFS.com viewer for his opinion who just happens to have a few of these lying around in his toy shed. After a quick phone conversation, while we were both viewing the auction, his valuation was pretty much spot on with mine. Bikes in this shape with super low miles are somewhat hard to price due to the fact that they have entered the collectible arena. The seller has a $6,500.00 B.I.N., but I would have to guess that the actual reserve is in the $5,000 – $6,000 range. But, keep in mind if you don’t like the B.I.N. price on this one you can always wait for the next 1991 Suzuki GSX-R 750 with super low mileage to come along… Get my point? If not, there is a strong reason why this one is gracing the pages of RSBFS.com and it isn’t because they only made 20 of these in 1991.
COLLECTOR BIKE- JUST ABOUT SHOWROOM-
PLUGS, OIL, FILTER JUST CHANGED
NEW BATTERY
Cheers!

Well I must admit that finding one of these with this low of miles is rare and a plus! I had this exact same bike before, as well as a couple 91 1100’s, love em!
The 2 things that stick out to me is; for one, I hate it when people use a janitors key ring set on their bikes, the top triple (in the ebay pics) sure took a beating for that little of miles. The other thing to point out is the seller is about $2k heavy on his original MSRP price in the video.
This is a very nice 91 for someone looking for one, the 91 blu/wht is the best oiler color combo IMO, but the $6500 BIN $ is too much, I peg it at upper $4’s.
Cheers!
Hey Jay-
I totally agree about the Janitor Key Ring thing.. I actually passed on buying what was otherwise a great bike due to this issue. I don’t understand it either, but then again I guess most folks don’t view GSX-R 750’s as ever being collectible.
