The Suzuki Motor Co. was established in 1909 by Michio Suzuki to produce machinery for the cotton industry. An initial diversification into 4-wheeled transport was curtailed by WW2 but after the war Japan had a need for cheap reliable transport so Suzuki, like a lot of others around the world, began to produce clip-on engines for pushbikes. These proved to be an immediate success and soon they were making full motorcycles and by the early ‘60s were second only to Honda in numbers of two-wheelers manufactured. Famous for performance two-strokes, they moved into four strokes in the late 1970s with the GS range of DOHC fours and the arrival of the oil-cooled GSXr750 in 1985, revolutionised motorcycling giving buyers race quality performance for the road. The GSXr1100 was launched a year later setting new standards for road bike speed and handling.

The Oil Cooled GSXr1100s were the most powerful bikes produced in the day and still have a fantastic reputation for bulletproof reliability. A favourite for drag racers and Streetfighter builders, not many have survived in standard trim. This early Slingshot is presented in excellent condition and has been kept in a heated garage as part of an enthusiast's private collection since 2012. It is fitted with an Akrapovic 4 into 1 exhaust system and the suspension has been uprated with a Hagon rear shock and Hagon fork springs. The original downpipes/collector box, stainless steel silencers and original rear damper are included in the sale together with a single seat convertor. The brakes have been overhauled with new discs, pads and seals, and the fork stanchions have been renewed. New clutch plates have been recently fitted and the bike serviced with new plugs, air filter and an oil and filter change. This rare survivor will be supplied with numerous old MOTs and receipts, current MOT to October 2026 and current V5C.
