Finding the original articles written about these bikes when they were new to the showroom brings back all the memories of that time. CycleWorld covered the GSX-R 750 in 1988 with the title, “Crossbreed: Born on the track, destined for the street.” What a title!!!

CycleWorld opens backing up that title, “CONSIDER, FOR JUST A MOMENT, WHAT HAPPENS IN a new GSX-R750 as its engine hits redline. Each of its four pistons must accelerate from a dead stop to about 70 mph and back to a dead stop again more than 400 times a second. Every time each of those pistons reaches either top or bottom dead center, it exerts a force equivalent to the weight of a Volkswagen Bug. All the while, enough air is pumped through the engine every minute to fill almost 600 basketballs.

As impressive as all that sounds, it feels even more spectacular. Because Suzuki’s 1988 GSX-R750 isn’t just another streetbike pretending to be a racer; it’s a racer pretending to be a streetbike. And the first clue is the engine redline marked in red on the tachometer face; 1 3,000 rpm. That’s not only higher than anything else in the 750 class, but higher, even, than on Kevin Schwantz’s 1987 GSXR750 Superbike.”

The Gixxers are popular for a reason.

Who wants to take this out for it’s first mile?

Good luck to the buyer and seller!
