1990 Suzuki GSX-R750L Slingshot
Registration no. G40 DRU
Frame no. GR7AA-100777
Engine no. R716-101066
Suzuki rewrote the 750-class rulebook when it launched the GSX-R750 back in 1985. The 'Gixxer's development had been strongly influenced by lessons learned from the works TT F1 and Endurance racers; lighter than a 600 and as powerful as a 1000, it made all other super-sports 750s seem flabby and slow. Offered here is one of the most desirable early variants: the 'L' model, which reverted to a extensively revised 'long-stroke' engine (the 1988 and '89 models had a short-stroke motor) while adding 'upside-down' forks, Nissin 4-pot floating front brake callipers, and a 1' wider rear wheel rim to the package. It is also the last version to have the classic twin headlights.
Clearly well looked after, the Suzuki was fully serviced by Craigs Honda in Shipley prior to the vendor's purchase in 2023. Between 2010 and 2013 the following works were carried out: steering head bearings adjusted and brake fluid replaced; stainless steel exhaust fitted; new brake calliper piston seals fitted; and the petcock replaced. Last run in March 2024, the machine benefits from a new battery. Accompanying documentation consists of some bills; a V5C Registration Certificate; copies of marque-related literature; and MoT to 17th July 2024. The HPI report records the previous colour as white/blue.
