Ah, the 1986 Suzuki GSX-R 750. There are plenty of reasons to love “slabbies,” from their awkward-but-functional bodywork that signalled a move to full fairings for the sportbike crowd, to their no-apologies approach to out and out speed, to the fact that decent ones are fast becoming prized collector bikes. This example is a clean but well-used base model with no frills add-ons or special treatments. It’s in a sweet spot where it can still be ridden and enjoyed, but will hold its value as these things get rarer.
1986 Suzuki GSX-R 750 for sale on eBay
With an aluminum frame, air-oil cooled 750cc four pot and a rack of flat slides, even the entry-level Gixxers were meant for the pointy end of racing grids, in an era when good amateur AMA racers could still rake in a pretty decent living in contingency money. And even if knee-down work wasn’t your bag, Gixxers were top of the heap street bikes well into the 1990s.
