Default Anyone any good with bikes? What is this?

Hi folks - anyone know what bike this is?

Chance for all you spotters to show off your knowledge!

I know it's a Suzuki GSX R, but what size engine and what age? Like is it a K1 or K2 model or whatever the designation is?

Somone who knows Suzukis will know the diffence between things like the fork legs or bodywork shape or someit like that.

Extra bonus points if you can identify the leathers and the end can ( I think it's a Yoshiumura, but not sure!)



Any help greatly appreciated etc etc

All GSXR K1-2's looked very similar. (6,75 and 10) So anywhere in that year base The K3 thou was different, but the 750 and 600 kept the same look until 04?
Got USD forks, but then the 750 had them as well. Purely on popularity I'll go with GSXR 1000. and yes thats the Yoshi logo on the can.



Texport leathers BTW (I think anyway)

If you've got another pic that would be beneficial.

Anyway FYI

K1 - Thou


K2 Thou


K2 750


K1 600


Look at the forks.

IMHO

Possibly. Its clearly a track/race bike. So most of the important stuff will be different anyway. Its going to come down to something obscure like therear swing arm mount or another little detail.

That's cos you're not in with the cool gang!!

Or more likely your PC is playing up, cos everyone else is looking at something bike related!

You'd have been good at this too!

Im going to change it to a 750 as the forks are silver coloured not gold. And the rear caliper is Black.

I reckon it's a 750 going by the forks, unless my eyes are playing up

I think its a 750, cant pin point why but as stated dont look fat enough fo a thou, hard to tell really from that angle.
Could be a 6 though with usd forks as it is a track bike so could have been fucked about with
