I could swear I’ve seen this combo for sale before but a search of the highly secure RSBFS archives didn’t deliver any results. This is a package deal for a couple of nice GSX-R’s wrapped in Suzuki’s best racing blue.
The big boy of the pair really looks like a great example of a survivor. How does 1,254 miles sound?!
From the seller:
First off, is my immaculate 1,254 mile 86 GSXR 1100. It is original to the tires. I purchased this bike in 2008 from a collector who purchased it from the original owner. Ever since I purchased it, it has been stored indoors in my house. The photos I took are the first time it has been out of the house in 5 years. The paint is like new. The bike has been sitting without being started for the past 5 years until I took it outside today. I added gas, and I put in the new battery that I just purchased. I put the fuel tap on prime for several seconds and then switched it to on. I turned on the key, and the bike fired up within 10 seconds. It runs good but could probably use a carb cleaning. I don’t want to do it since I believe that none of the plastic or bolts have ever been removed on the bike. I don’t want to touch it, and I would never let anyone else touch the bike. It may clear up on its own if you took it for a ride.
It is as original as you could ever hope to find. It does have a couple of small flaws including the small stains you see on the seat. I don’t know what they are, and I have never tried to remove them. They are very small and are hardly noticeable. Also, the exhaust pipe has a scuff on it but it’s not dented. I do have a pipe that was pulled off of a new 87 1100 that is beautiful that I will include in the auction. The bike also includes the factory tool kit and the factory owner’s manual. One of the mauals is still sealed in the plastic. It also includes the original sales brochure from 86. I am also including a factory repair manual. The tires are in excellent shape, and I imagine you could ride on them since there is no weathering on them. The bike has sat indoors its whole life. I do have the factory grab rail but I misplaced the hardware to mount it.
I have a clear Tennessee title in the prevous owner’s name. It is ready for your name and signature
Are you old enough to remember the days of “Hyper Sports”? I know we all can be skeptical of mileage but I’m a believer after looking at the pictures.
The munchkin GSX-R is unique in that it is a Japanese domestic market version.
From the seller:
The second bike in this auction is my immaculate Japanese import 87 GSXR 50 with 327 kilometers (203 miles). I purchased this bike from a collector in 2010. It is also original to the tires. The paint is absolutely amazing like the 1100. It is another bike that has spent its whole life inside and not ridden. The Japanese import GSXR 50 is different that than the American version because these are street legal in Japan. It has a horn, blinkers, and everything to be street legal. I also just took this bike outside today. I added fuel and a battery to it. It didn’t want to start as easily as the 1100. But after a little persistence and sea foam, it eventually started on the choke. It has a little trouble running off the choke but runs absolutely strong. This is another bike that I believe has never had a bolt touched on it. I have the factory manual and a factory repair manual that also goes with the bike. It did not come with a tool kit. Also, this bike does not have a title. I will write you a bill of sale if you need one.
Well, who has room in their garage for a couple of GSX-R’s? I think the only question is if there are buyers willing to pay for both.

Any seller who says it is ok to ride on 25+ year old tires is a bleeding idiot! Run away!
Sold for $13,100 the 1100 looked a really nice bike, seemed a shame that the pics were so average not sure why the owner wouldnt make a bigger effort for such a beautiful machine – I think the new owner got an absolute bargain (GSXR50 and ’87 1100 exhaust as well)!
If you’re the new owner, or you know who the new owner is, can you contact me at hollywoodstunts@me.com.
Thanks.
