The original BADASS!!! cause that's what it is. This really really makes my day its 5:30am and now im ready to start my day. I had the 92 with the lavender wheels but this is the one that got me started to dream about having one when i was 17.
Not many left! I owned a 1990 750, I bought from a local guy that went into the Army and his father was handling the sale. The motorcycle only had 652 miles on it when I bought it. I only tooled around with it and sold it with 5,200 miles on it. Kind of with I never sold it. I had installed myself a Yoshi stainless steel duplex pipe with a carbon can. Carbs were jetted and individual k&n filters. Also installed an ignition advancer, tinted wind screen, and tail block off section. Yes I miss it, looked nice but hard on my wrists while riding. But only complaint.
What a huge leap that bike made. The Yamaha FZ750 wasn't able to reign it in. I had one for my maiden visit to Roebling Road in March of '86. Scott Russell and Paul Bray were there. It was my first wedding anniversary too! She knew what she was getting into. What a joy it was to race. I could keep the throttle pinned from Turn 7 to the end of the front straight.

@@wescooley34 I remember seeing you race at Memphis in '91. I was about 4' from the wall on the front-straight on a stock '91 GSXR-750. You passed between me and the wall on a Team Hammer GSXR-1100. Almost sucked the paint off my bike.
@@ericwilson178 the fz engine was more tuneable than the oilcooled motor tony scott in the uk had built most of the fz motors that ran in superstock over here and his engines had multiple wins
I had a blue and white 86, bought brand new. Was a challenge to scratch the fairing bubbles in curves. Best tires have been Metzeler sport composition. At least I have crashed it 3 times. Wild times!
Theres a guy in NZ, he has a channel here on YT, with a Brand new 85 750 and a brand new 86 1100. He searched the world and found two zero miles bikes in a collection in Europe somewhere, and had them imported to NZ. He's changed the tyres, and fluids but everything else looks exactly like they did when they rolled off the factory assembly line.
Bike sold a while ago. As for the directionals, they were with the bike when I got it. Kind of the standard back in the day. Not sure if they even make them anymore?
Wow a beautiful survivor. A buddy of mine road from California to New Jersey and back to California on one about 6 years ago. He said other than the heat from the air/oil cooled motor frying him in traffic, he loved the trip! Fond memories for me as I was 19 when this bike came out. I learned how to tune mine and turned it into a cottage industry, tuning slab-sides in my dads garage. Made a lot of money at a young age working on these bikes. Thanks for sharing👍🏼
Wow mine looked just like that I had one from 86-90. I put on a 4-1 yoshimura with a black canister a stage 3 jet kit and had my wheels painted white. Damn this brings back memories.
I have one, since 1987, love it. You have a nice one, My bike is not stock, a did have a supertrapp stainless steel exhaust no it, a stage 3 jet kit & a vance and hines timeing advance.
I loved the Kawasaki ZXR 750. The one with the dual round headlights and the dual hoses that go from the tank to the fairing . Wicked looking. Rear suspension SUCKED, it was stiffer the 6am morning wood. Looked great, though.
Would love to see Suzuki make a replica of this today, with inverted forks, modern wider wheels/tires and little bigger brakes/ Brembos and maybe loose the grab rail along with the rail holes.
I doubt I’ll get lucky enough since this was made years ago, but I was wondering if you know where I can get a template for this bike so I can make my own wraps and decals for this bike. I can’t find It anywhere
Great video ! I have the same bike, but 100% Original stock, pipe and all. Same condition. There can not be many left in this condition. I have over $20k invested, probably worth half that. Never going to sell it. Nova Scotia , Canada.
Not original wheel color.....Lockhart turn signals........steel braid lines........ I bought one in 1986 and in street racing just absolutely beat the hell out of the V-Max and all GS Suzukis ......Ninja 1000's were tricky but I could beat most of them...... I replaced the carbs with Ninja 1000 cards, Hella differance !!!!!!!! :-)
I bought a U.S spec 86 750 that had been imported here to NZ, first thing i did was ditch the U.S spec CVs, and source some "rest of the world" spec 29mm flat slides, that woke it up a bit.
I had a new 1987 in the red and black, I loved that bike more then words could say, until I had a guy run over me from behind at a stop light , I stopped, he went to make it thru behind me but i was stopped...Awesome video beautiful bike brought back a lot of great memories... thank a bunch..
Agreed, but only when compared to what's available today ;) Back in the late 80's, these were the "go-to" replacements for the obtrusive OE directionals (which are included)
@@annamart36 The masters were upgraded to 01-04 Bandit or 99-07 Busa's, same look as OE but allow for a range of modern adjustable lever options. Sorry for the delay in response

I sold mine in 89ish also and my 1100. I kick myself everyday. Beautiful bike, wish she was mine
that is sweet. i have an 87 i renovated but there’s not a lot of OEM left on it . you can see it on my channel
That is the best example of an “original” GSXR I’ve ever seen. Absolutely beautifully preserved a d tastefully upgraded. 👍🏾

You talk about original parts being “available” - is the bike for sale? I love all the mods including the turn signals - what brand are they?

@@metlhdmensch1007 ok thks supercool bike I have one in my list for my small collection of bikes that I ride

Forsale
@@fransiscocortez8618 that sold. Schwantz 34 is for sale
Had that bike brand new loved it! Everyone wanted that bike when they came out! I think a year later got the 1100
Congratulations on an incredible bike !
my bike sold it in 1994 ran it at Pocono wera group only it had a v&h supersport on wear on the tank was from the tank bra that was popular back then
Thank you so much for sharing that beautiful classic race replica!! It brought back so many awesome memories. You have impeccable taste, sir.
This is a beauty! Rodney, I sent you an email.

Bad ass 86 ..my friends back in the 90 s had all gsx.i still want one till this day..
Yo I got one to 52000 miles
Shit’ I remember New Gxr750-Beating my Kaw.750 turbo’ man. Cool Bikes STILL ffockkk
nice but the turn signals look to be aftermarket
Original blinkers are included and pictured in the vid
Would love to see Suzuki make a replica of this today, with inverted forks, modern wider wheels/tires and little bigger brakes/ Brembos and maybe loose the grab rail along with the rail holes.
The 750 always look so much better then the 1100 from the same years. Trying to figure out why...
Shoulda used this bike in 'Top Gun' ,
Not the Kawasaki GPZ900R
I graduated high school in 87. I'm sure you can imagine my opinion of this badass.
Beautiful bike.
I have always been a Kawasaki guy but this is a beautiful bike.

What is the price of this bike please and is there a new one?

This one sold for 11.5 but it did have the upgrades as well as the Original parts. You'r estimate may be spot on fepending on miles.
Theres more out there than you'd think, at least there is outside the U.S.
I had a blue-white one that I raced in 96-97
1986-87

Shouldn't that have slide carbs
Carbs are OE
In UK we had slide carb, but either way I wish that bike was in my garage, it's a credit to you
I’ve never seen a better bike on UA-cam. Perfect.
What levers you got on there

get rid of the CV carbs for some Mikuni round slides. cv carbs don't like pod filters.
