The GSX-R750 is a sport bike from Suzuki's GSX-R series of motorcycles. It was introduced in 1985 and can be considered to be the first of the modern racer-replicas with many race-derived technologies and the looks of a Suzuki Endurance racer at an affordable price.
At the time, the bike was revolutionary with a dry weight of under a 180 kg, over 100 bhp and impressive (if slightly twitchy) handling.

[edit] Oil Cooled (Slabside)
[edit] GSX-R750 (F) 1985
The original model featured a lightweight aluminium alloy frame, flatslide carbs, twin disks with 4-pot brakes and 18-inch tyres both front and rear. The unusual choice of an oil-cooled engine was made to save weight as compared with the heavier water-cooled engines of the time.
GSX-R750 (G) 1986
The 1986 received a 5 mm longer swing arm to help calm the handling. Apart from a modified belly pan and upgraded headlamps there is very little difference between the 1985 and 1986 models.

The '91 GSX-R750M gained 15 kg over the previous model. The most notable feature of the "M" are the faired in headlamps and a slanted nose, both of which were designed to reduce drag. Also fitted was a new larger seat and twin tail lamps. This was the last GSX-R to use the oil-cooled SACS engine, internal changes included the use of one rocker arm per valve (older models used one per two valves), new exhaust cam and stronger valve springs

[edit] SRAD
GSX-R750 (T) 1996
The "96 GSX-R introduced the a new twin-spar frame which was derived from Suzuki's RGV 500 GP racer. A new compact and lightweight engine(even magnesium covers were used on the cylinder head, starter motor and clutch cover to aid weight reduction).The result of these changes was a decrease in weight by 20 kg to 179 kg with power had increased to a 128 bhp. This years model finally addressed the weight problems that had plagued the GSXR though the first half of the 90s.
Other features include electronically controlled carburetors and 43mm inverted forks which were fully adjustable.
