Deal: Suzuki GSX-R750 K3 Costs £3.5k, But What’s the Catch?

This 2003 Suzuki GSX-R750 represents a bargain despite being long in the tooth, as its incredibly low price and mileage figures are a combination you’re unlikely to find elsewhere.

Presented by York Motorcycles, this 2003 edition GSX-R750 is painted in a lovely black and silver finish and features an Akrapovic exhaust system for good measure.

Comprising a 749cc liquid-cooled four-cylinder engine with a titanium intake, the GSX-R750 produces 139bhp at 12500rpm and 62Ib ft of torque, while reaching a top speed of around 170mph. The 2003 model was a continuation of the overhauled GSX-R750 that landed in 2000, which included a new frame, new swingarm, engine updates and new bodywork.

The front suspension features inverted telescopic forks that include fully adjustable spring preload, rebound and compression damping. The rear consists of a link-type gas/oil damped set-up with adjustable spring preload, compression damping and four-way adjustable rebound. Front and rear wheel travel comes in at the same 130mm.

Braking sees two 320mm discs gripped by four-piston calipers at the front, while the rear uses a single 220mm disc with a two-piston caliper. The seat height is a modest 830mm, with ground clearance set at 130mm. The bike makes around 40mpg which means a full fuel tank will last you around 150 miles before stopping for more juice, although fuel consumption will drop below that figure if riding on track.

To this day Suzuki’s GSX-R750 remains one of its most popular sportbikes, both for road use and track riders, and although this 2003 version might not have all the current tech and aero trends, it's hard to argue that one mile and £3,500 is not a bargain.

The GSX-R750 has plenty of racing heritage, having been used in domestic series’ while also being ridden by the likes of James Whitham and John Reynolds. It was also used for racing in World Superbike once upon a time.
