The GSXR1000 K5/K6 was such a peerless machine, that bmw used it as a benchmark for their then newly anticipated S1000RR back in 2008/2009. Suzuki haven't got the engineering evangelism of Honda, the hairy chested performance of kawasaki nor the incredible innovations of Yamaha, but they've made some fantastic motorbikes over the years and their gsx/gsxr air-oil cooled mill's are something to be reckoned with on the drag strip scene!

Great job on the history of the the GSXR, a great resource. I bought an GSXR750 (vin said December 1985 which made it an 86') that had been totaled and turned it into my race bike. I club raced that bike at Firebird Raceway outside Phx from late 1986 until early 1989 when family commitments made it impossible to afford my racing. I've missed that bike the rest of my life and have fond memories. I saw my first GSXR while working in the oilfields is SE Asia. Saw a GSXR-400 on the streets in Singapore, was the same red-silver-black livery as my eventual racer and was hooked.

When the SRAD bikes appeared in '96, it really seemed like Suzuki made a big jump to get back on track. The hooligan's bike was back.

Thank you for the video. I'm the PROUD owner of 2, GSXR1100W. A WP, and a WR, meaning a 1993 and a 1994. Toads by today's performance standard, but epic bikes nonetheless. I just happen to LOVE carburetors, and the more upright riding position. I'm a bigger guy, so I too love the larger overall size of the bike compared to the new ones. 1 I have in naked what I'll call street fighter version, similar to the big TRIUMPH SPEED TRIPLE, although I do run the front fairing, just no sides, or chin. She even has a all stainless YOSHIMURA 4-2-1 exhaust. I freshened up the top end, all COMETIC Gaskets, and of course a APE Manual Cam Chain Tensioner. The other was victim to the Automatic Cam Chain Tensioner, who failed the previous owner, which is how I purchased the bike. The cases are fine, but the cam chain is somewhat wrapped around the crankshaft cam sproket. This 1 will eventually get a big bore kit, and cams, and headwork, balance and blueprint, and of course a APE TENSIONER, all work performed in my shop. AWESOME video thank you very much 🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍

For the 2017 gsxr1000 why did they put a bike on the exhaust? It spoils the gorgeous look of the exhaust!!!!

I thought the same thing about Suzuki's exhaust but there's a really good explanation for it, which i'll save for a video.

Good video, but there is one mistake I see. I have the 1992 GSX-R 750 with 16,000 original miles and they came with air oiled cooled and not water cooled. I have the exact same one that in the video @ 13:52. 1993 was when they introduced the water cooled on the 750.

GSXR Z06 I sold the gsxr 600 for a ktm 950sm. Still have it and love it. Now I’m the only one in my group of friends with a sm so I decided to buy a gsxr again. Didn’t have the money to buy another K8 so went with a K4

that sucks, the k8 will only go up in value as the years go by.

GSXR Z06 it would be silly of Suzuki to drop the 600 and 750. If anything they would drop the 750 only because none of the other Japanese manufacturers make them
