In 2009, 15 years ago and 23 years after this bike was produced, Rider wrote a review, “In the mid-1980s the Japanese got deadly serious about their sportbikes. When the 750cc size became the competition class of choice, everybody piled in, with Interceptors, Ninjas, FZs…and Gixxers, the first generation of GSX-R750 models, which have continued to this day, except that what cost $4,499 back then has a price tag of $11,699 in 2009….
With a clean sheet of paper the engineers at Hamamatsu drew up a bike that could both win races and yet be legal on the streets. Which meant it would also have to cope with the hammering of the Sunday ride. And they did an astounding job.
To no one’s surprise the 749cc engine was an in-line four, having twin overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder. Instead of the increasingly popular liquid cooling, the Gixxer had an air- and oil-cooling system. The oversquare design, 70mm bore, 48.7mm stroke, had an 11,000-rpm redline, and to keep that cam chain running between cylinders two and three properly tensioned an idler gear was put in. To ensure that the fuel flow from the four flat-slide 31mm Mikunis was properly atomized, the company’s patented Twin Swirl Combustion Chamber design was revamped for the new 16-valve heads. The compression ratio was a hefty 10.6:1, which could mean melt-down if not adequately cooled, which is why the sump held six quarts of petroleum product.”
Did someone say Twin Swirl Combustion Chamber? I think they did.
As the seller says, you can use this as a cool daily rider or finish restoring it. Buyer’s choice.
Good luck to the buyer and seller!
