Iconic motorbikes - the Suzuki GSX-R750 slabside

Owned a 1985 GSXR 750. We had a Castrol 6 hour race race back in the day which the 750 was competing against 1000cc machines. The 750 won by several laps. This bike was a huge leap forward in the power to weight game. Light weight and silky smooth powerful engine this is bike set new standards.

[@uhtred7860]

Richard Scott, Paul Feeney won the 85 Aus 6 hour on the FZ 750. The FZ 750 won again in 86 with Michael Dowson, Kevin Magee, the GSX-R 750 came 2nd. In 87 it was FZR1000 first and 2nd with a 750 gixxer 3rd. In NZ, the 85 6 hour was won by Dave Hiscock and Neil Chivas on a Suzuki GSX-R750F, Next year the FZ 750 took first place with Aaron Slight and Rob Doran. Every one forgets the FZ 750 it matched the GSX-R 750 in every way except looks.

[@isickofit]

GSXR 1100H Hyperendurancer was my loved ride

[@caribman10]

The difference between the weight of the Mark One GSXR and previous 750's changed the face of motorcycling. Sadly, as so often happens, a lot of the lessons learned were forgotten. Japanese and other manufacturers need to get back to the core concept: LIGHT WEIGHT. And turning a perfect sport bike into a 'streetfighter" is a waste of a good sport bike. I still ride and vastly enjoy my '86 GSXR1100...

[@Eelgnotsa]

This is definitely one of the game changes especially the engine I wanted one in high school got one five years ago

[@Richie90090]

Brilliant! Thanks Henry

[@silktvPDR1]

Remember watching them at Ramsey hairpin looking like they were hinged in the middle with the frame flexing 😳 not sure how they handled but they looked a handful lol

[@andrewwasson6153]

The 1985 version are really a handful because it was a shorter wheelbase than the 86/87 models (shorter swingarm). Mine would go into a violent wobble under heavy throttle anywhere above about 180KPH. You had to hold on and power through it. Also would do it under extreme throttle shifting first to second. Again you had to power through it. I put on a USD front end and wheels from a 93 GSXR and an Ohlins rear shock. It’s a completely different animal now. It handles like it’s on a rail.

[@johncole8501]

[@odyshopody9387]

I loved this bike when I was in highschool and they first came out. Would go over to the Suzuki dealer all the time on my Yamaha Vision to just check them out, even though I did not have the money to get one, I think they were around $4,000 then. Funny how you nick named them Geezy's, here in the States we called them Jixer's! Cheers

[@rogerthat10-47]

The GSXR750 is one of the most overlooked bikes in Christendom, they are spectacular, far too many people go for the 600 then on to the 1000 & miss this incredible bike out entirely even though it's better than both of them. I'm currently looking to add one to my very small collection of 6 presently, I did have 37 before I got ill, I lost the ability to walk & was told I'd probably never walk again let alone ride so I took the arse & sold the lot bar1, they were all old British & Japanese 2 strokes from the 70's all bought as "Basket Cases" & rebuilt by me, anyway my beautiful wife(Super nurse) got me walking in 5 months(the hardest of my life) & riding in 2 years, I didn't get fit enough to go back to my job as a Chife Design Engineer but I build bikes for pleasure & pay, so that suits me fine. The GSXR 750 is far better than the vast majority of riders out there & the bikes they currently ride, if they bought this instead of the 600 they would never have to buy the 1000 it is plenty of bike for anyone, it can be Saint or Sinner & 90%+ of these younger riders would never master it, I'm currently piloting a Suzuki RG500 "Gamma" 2 strokewith Nitro's it's in a similar vein to the GSXR750 as you have to become part of it to get the best out of it it just becomes intuitive to ride, not only is it fast, it's super quick & has massive torque so all that "Mid fange" & accelerating out of corners is so easy. Love your stuff & thank you.

I just acquired (after 36 years of wanting one) a GSXR 750, 2022 model year. Easily the best performing bike I’ve ever owned, light weight with a lot of usable power. GSXR’s are legendary for a reason, Suzuki did it first and they still do it the best. No traction control, no abs, no electronic wizardry just a well engineered bike that is daring you to try and master it

Even for a few hours, LOL. It was not so much the power of this first version i remember but the light weight build that gave them the feeling of a more powerful bike. The only downside with this version was they were built Too Light for street use. You needed to be careful of potholes when riding ?? Watching this video Definitely brings back some great memories.

Insurance cover $2,200 Because he was under 21 years old He needed to pay a higher premium???? If NO insurance NO loan NO bike, LOL. So basically the bike cost him $7,700 plus loan Interest ?? And the Insurance continues until the loan is paid in full. Crazy what some people will do to have a new bike ???? He kept the bike for 1 year then sold it. Because the insurance was more for the next year ????

The Geezy? WTF is a Geezy...or a Slabby for that matter? It's a Gixxer (Jixxer) Slabside fella.

[@davericketts9101]

I was going to ask the same question

[@uhtred7860]

Slabby is short for slabside, its what the 1st gen 750s and 1100s are known as in the UK, Australia and NZ, as well as Gixxer. Fuck knows what a geezee is. :-)

[@Alzy5]

Fun fact , in all the years I owned it ,i dropped it I crashed it vandals kicked it over I went through about 8 indicators but the 1 time i crashed it into a field at high speed and dragged it out with a tractor all 4 indicators were still intact and sitting square 😎

My second favourite suzuki after the katana 1100

[@jimmyjames2383]

The Kat got me looking at bikes, I was 16 when they came out. The Gixxer 750F convinced me to get a bike, got an F straight after my restricted year, and still have it : )

👍Truth, Iconic Bike the GSXr-750f I'm Lucky Enough to have a Couple Slabbies in my Garage!! Remember the Green 'Skoal Bandit' Gixxers @ IOM TT Circa '85-'86?? what a Great Era of Motorcycling!! -Cheers 😉👍🍻🇭🇲

[@uhtred7860]

I'm going to have my 86 1100 painted in Skoal Bandit colours, theres a guy on Ebay that sell complete decal sets for the 750 & 1100.

Impeccable handling? You ever ridden one?

[@davericketts9101]

Err, didn`t you watch the video? He was riding one and spoke about owning 5 of them!

[@chriswheeler9554]

@@davericketts9101 yes I know that, didn’t you hear him say it has impeccable handling? So what bike was he riding to come to that conclusion?

[@johnandstephanie377]

@@chriswheeler9554 Most of his stuff is older bikes, so yeah

[@splodge57]

Good enough for Mick Grant to win proddie TT on. Better handling the second year as Suzuki made the swingarm longer for stability. A game changer bike.
