GSX R

I love the old school bikes and have looked everywhere for a MINT unrestored GSXR , I would rather have found an 1100cc but when i was offered this i just had to have it

Completly untouched and std bike

Now i know compared to modern bikes its nothing super fast but i just love the late 80" early 90"s bikes

And i was double shocked how cheap these can be bought for

anyway here is the old girl

Cool Paul. I remember you saying you'd just passed your bike test when I had my Fireblade and DT that I was trying to do a deal with you on. That looks a real minter.
Just be careful out there mate, there's a lot of dopey buggers on the roads.

Just don't break anything on it mate, you would not believe the price of bike parts new! OE parts are outrageously expensive.

good lad Paul,
Ive always fancied a bike and have had my licence for 12 years!

jacko

your no where near cool enough to own an old school gixer lol

what that now needs is to be made into a 7/11 street fighter

Dangerous Malcolm..

Lovely looking bike, especially from the front.

Big G

Stunning
A guy oop here had an outrageously low milage 1100 up for sale recently, always typical when you aint got the cash

ive got 2 gsxr1100 slingshots at the garage.

1 black red and absolutely standard and as new
1 white one slightly modded.

jonnyrsturbo

i normally hate older bikes, but that is lush

Farmer Giles

my favourite Gixer in my favourite colour scheme.

Just get some better rubber on it and get out on it.

.. and give the wheels a rub over with WD40 or something similar. It won't keep them clean but it will make the dirt, road crap and chain lube easier to wipe off after a ride. White wheels are great but an absolute arse to keep clean..

enjoy

Rossco

Old skool.

bazpro

i had one just like that but blue and white but sold it just before christmas for Ł800 !!!
i only paid 800 for it though and was alot of bike for the money.

Ginge

Awesome looking bike!

My grandads got a mint 870 odd mile Benelli from 89 in a shed with his 52 bsa gold flash.

love the look of older bikes..

Mr RS500

iTrader: (6)

The paintwork is MINT mate , thats why i bought the old girl

Stunning Paul

Been looking at bikes for the past 6months and been fancying either a K6 / K7 GSXR 750 or an original R1.

I was just flicking through your threads paul as I wanted to look at something on your sierra build when I stumbled across this gixxer thread!

Here's my '89 750K



Owned it for 11-12years now. Whats your's, a 750m? Looks almost completely standard as well, which is fairly rare nowadays A good site for future reference is www.oldskoolsuzuki.info

looked nice yesterday Paul.

Mr RS500

iTrader: (6)

That looks mint

Mine is a 750 mate , I wanted a 1100 but cant find a mint one

RWD_cossie_wil

iTrader: (9)

Nice Paul, classic beam frames will be rising in value soon, as you said it is very hard to find a mint standard one

Chip

I love the late 80s and early 90s bikes as well.

Would love a ZXR750 one day

Mr RS500

iTrader: (6)

Funny how when i bought this i honestly thought i would get a bit of flack for buying and old bike but it seems they are quite well respected by people who know there bikes
A bit like a 3 door cossie if you know what i mean

I went to scarborough to a cafe that is a biker caff and it got loads of nice comments

cossie604

iTrader: (2)

Which model 750 though, looks like a M to me, about a 92 plate?

There's been a couple mint one's go through that oldskoolsuzuki site in the forsale section. Im planning on building up a decent engine for mine....B12 short motor with my dot head along with a lock up clutch also. My model is supposed to have a silencer on each side, so I want to get another micron on the left to match up with the right and get it all plumbed up.

I had a RD350LC before this....half heartedly on the look out for another. Sold mine for Ł600 and it was tidy....gutted now

Chip

iTrader: (3)

I love all the bikes of that era, I think its very comparable to a 3 door, as both were the first time that essentially paupers could go genuinely quick, as in supercar quick.

Ducati 888 is another bike of that era I lust after.

I dont see how anyone can not like them

cossie604

iTrader: (2)

When I bought mine it was only 9yr old...down our local biker places it got no looks as it was as common as an early R1 is nowadays. But now when I go out on it, it always receive's good comments off people

Thats a fookin nice mint bike fella.

once you've got your part number from the microfiche link, phone up these people..

http://www.robinsonsfoundry.co.uk/su...30b473d5906c6b

...as they seem to be able to sort most parts that your average bike shop cant find anymore. If you sign up to the oldskool site then you also get a discount at robinsons

Mr RS500

iTrader: (6)

Cool links

Mine is a j plate so that may help you with the model it is as i dont know

cossie604

iTrader: (2)

Yeah its an M, the last of the oil cooled bikes....model after yours was the WN which was the first of the water cooled models, hence the W.

If you wanted to be a real GSXR tart, buy a GSXR750RK....would go well along side a RS500 as they only made 500 RK models (commonly known as the 'double R' out of the uk).



You can just make out its tarty dry clutch poking out from behind its fibre glass fairing
120bhp standard but was basicaly like the RS500 in that it was ready and waiting to be track prepped. Looks very similar to mine in many ways.

I should be picking up a H2 ZXR 750 in a few weeks hopefully

Went to work today on mine....a mate took some pics (first pics of me on my bike in nearly 12 yrs lol)




Looks more like a 400 sized bike there
