We have a soft spot for first generation Gixxers, so when Red found this it had to be posted. The last time we saw one was only 4 months ago on RSBFS and it was listed for $18,500 with 12,909 miles.
It’s worth repeating the words of Hiroshi Fujiwara, who was in charge of the basic layout of the first model. In a Total Motorcycle article he vividly recalls the excitement of his team at the beginning of the project. “This pure Supersport model was our first 750cc bike featuring an aluminum frame of unprecedented light weight and superb torsional rigidity. We had no real competitors in the market, other than factory racing machines.”
Motorcycle Classics also covered the GSX-R750 for ’86 & ’87 giving us insights about the design, “Designer Etsuo Yokouchi was obsessed with minimizing mass, so he decided on air/oil cooling rather than adding water jackets, a radiator and a pump. By 1986, though, he was swimming against the tide. The Other Three had all switched their premium 750 sport bikes to liquid cooling. Yokouchi chose instead to rely on a high-volume, low-pressure pump to circulate up to 10 liters of oil per minute through the cylinder head, using fins and a king-size oil cooler to dissipate heat. Bottom end lubrication and piston-cooling oil jets were fed by a conventional high-pressure pump.”
Good luck to the buyer and seller!
