Well, this GSX-R 1100 is definitely one of those bikes that wasn’t especially rare when new, but has become so by being a survivor: “Gixxers” of all displacements are much used and abused. 600’s get treated as “starter bikes” by noobs and crashed left and right. 750’s get raced, stunted, tracked, the 1100’s get drag-raced,…
One thing I have noticed about rare sport bikes is that you wont see a bike for sale for a long time and then suddenly multiple versions pop up either within months or at the same time. One of my first posts to to RSBFS was when three Red Bull KTM RC8’s came up for…
The Suzuki GSX-R750RK, also known as the RR (which stood for race replica) was a “straight-out-of-the-crate” racer and only 500 were produced. They weren’t imported into North America, so here is a rare opportunity to pick one up here in the states. I will admit that I was not familiar with the RR/RK model from…
I know the purists will tell me that the traditional colors for a GSX-R are white and blue but I think this red and white color scheme was the most attractive color scheme of the early GSX-R models. Plus this is a “slingshot” model in the 750cc configuration, which is quickly becoming one of the…
Well-loved GSX-R 1100 models don’t come around often, yet here we have two 1987 models within days of each other. Like this one we posted last week, today’s Gixxer is an original slabbie and is claimed 100% stock. Interestingly enough, the buy it now price is the same as the last 1100 – which surprised…
Suzuki GSX-Rs remain some of the most popular bikes on RSBFS. The slab-sided early models epitomize the “game changing” attitude of Suzuki during this period. With air/oil cooling, aluminum frame and full floater rear suspension, the GSX-R was lighter, faster and handled better than anything in the day. Even today these bikes present well. Sure,…
Few years ago when the BMW S1000RR first came on the market, I watched a few times a video review on youtube from gizmag. To describe the immense power of the bike, the name “Superbike” wasn’t enough. The reviewer called “SuperDooperBike”. Back in the 80s, after the Suzuki stormed the world with the featherlight super…
We all love the Suzuki GSX-R series. The Gixxer was the first truly Superbike motorbike produced. It featured a full fairing, it was very light (and still is), it had beautiful double headlights, lots of horses and amazing colors. The most desirable GSX-Rs, are the, so called, “double R”. The first one, came only one…
