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 the year after setting new standards for road bike speed and handling.

This 1987 GSXr1100 was restored 12 years ago and refinished in Skoal Bandit race team colours. Being a bike that invariably ended up on the race track, it's rare to find a slabside Gixxer that has survived in this original condition with just the exhaust having been replaced with a period Micron stainless steel one. A fast appreciating future classic that can still hold its own against modern day superbikes. Showing just 28000 miles and run recently, it comes supplied with a current V5C.
