Among the elite of RSBFS bikes this 1986 Suzuki GSX-R 750 R LE sits right on top. The exact number of LE models produced remains a mystery (some say 500, some say 1000…). What is sure is that it was produced in 1986 only, it featured a unique color scheme, a glass fiber hand made…
The Suzuki GSX-R 750 was my first Superbike. It was a 1993 water cooled model (W) and I will never ever forget it. It was fast, smoother than a Kawa and nastier than a Honda. It was also very reliable. In those years, the usual R (for Racing) code was often replaced by another: SP…
Location: Hudson, Wisconsin Mileage: 15,434 Price: $4,750 BIN The GSX-R 1100 in almost any iteration will find its way on to RSBFS. Many have varying opinions about which generation is best and certainly some paint schemes worked better than others. I personally like them all. But I also like all things GSX-R. Regardless,…
Quick – look at the pictures. Do you spot the rare bike? I’m beginning to doubt the rarity of these post-disco, pre-grunge “it came from the 80s” Suzuki Katanas. RSBFS went for ages without posting a single one, and then BANG! we suddenly find several. Such are the risks associated with bringing you the best…
Daytona beach, FL – 20,129mi – $2,900 No Reserve Spring is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than to jet on down to Daytona Beach and pick up this sweet ’94 Big-Gixxer. This GSX-R1100 came with 156hp back in the day along with some ultra-90’s graphics. Sure, it wasn’t touted as the…
When this first year, 1000cc Katana showed up on eBay, I knew it was perfect for the RSBFS faithful. Who doesn’t like a classic survivor like this? Built to be the baddest road rocket of the day, the Katana still turns heads with its knife-edge styling and purposeful looks. This particular bike does not appear…
Location: Limerick, Maine Mileage: 25,000 Price: Auction If you happen to live in the Northeast (or anywhere really) and have a jones for an original Suzuki GSX-R 1100, then you best get on this auction. A huge fan of the brand myself, I love to see these pop up so they can…
In the early 80’s a few manufacturers experimented installing a Turbo on a motorbike. While on cars the added complexity proved to be a very efficient way to boost power, on the 2 wheelers this wasn’t as successful. In 1983 Suzuki launched the XN 85: but after 1153 models were produced it replaced this with a…
