This 1986 Suzuki GSX-R750 Limited Edition is one of a reported 500 examples produced, with 199 allocated to the US market to homologate the model for AMA Superbike racing. It was purchased by its current owner in 2023, reportedly from the original owner, and now shows 4,900 miles. Edition-specific equipment includes lightweight bodywork in blue, red, and white along with a dry clutch, a close-ratio six-speed transmission, a steering damper, a blue solo seat, and revised suspension and braking components. Power is provided by an air-cooled 749cc DOHC inline-four, and the bike is further equipped with blue-finished 18″ wheels, a New Electronically Activated Suspension (NEAS) anti-dive fork, and triple disc brakes with gold-finished calipers along with an aluminum frame, Mikuni carburetors, clip-on handlebars, a clear windscreen, and a side stand. This GSX-R750 LE is offered by the seller on behalf of its owner with an owner’s manual, parts receipts, and a clean California title in the owner’s name.

The GSX-R750 landed in the US for 1986, and this is the most serious version of that first year. The standard bike was already a race bike with lights. The Limited Edition added the dry clutch, close-ratio six-speed, steering damper and solo seat, and only 199 came to the US to homologate it for AMA Superbike.
Check out the dash shot, too. There’s a yellow Ducati 900 parked right next to it, so this bike is keeping good company.
Tad covered one of these LEs if you want the full rundown on what the upgrades actually did.
It’s at $12,000 with three days left, and I doubt it stays there.
Slabby fans, this one’s for you. Would you put a few more miles on it, or keep it right where it is?
Good luck to the buyer and seller!
