You Can Buy a Brand New 1991 Suzuki GSX-R750

If you’re a collector and in the market for something shiny, exciting and at an affordable price, this brand new 1991 Suzuki GSX-R750 could be the bike for you. The guys over at The Bike Specialists have made this bike available for £10,999 and it comes in a beautiful red, white and black colour scheme.

Bringing glamour and style to a bike that’s nearly 35 years old, this ’91 Suzuki GSX-R750 has just two ‘push’ miles on the clock and comes with the original ‘wrapped’ riders handbook. Suzuki’s very popular GSX-R range was launched in 1985, so grabbing hold of this 1991 model would be a dream come true for many Suzuki fans.

A bike that’s notorious for its twin headlights and slanted nose, which were designed with an emphasis on reducing drag, it’s also been fitted with a larger seat and new rear body work that features twin tail lamps. This bike was also the last GSX-R to use the oil-cooled SACS engine. Internal engine updates have been made in order to include a new valvetrain that uses one dedicated cam lobe and rocker arm per valve.

It’s going to come as no surprise when I tell you that a bike made in 1991 won’t have the same power output as a bike developed and reproduced several decades later. However, this 1991 GSX-R750 bike still packs a hefty punch with 115bhp. How does that compare to the 2011 GSX-R that was developed until 2018? 148bhp is what the 2011 bike came in at. But is power what matters with a retro machine like this? I would say no.

Along with its Japanese counterparts Yamaha, Kawasaki and Honda, Suzuki specialised in the middleweight sportbike class for many years. Its success building middleweight sportbikes and of course the GSX-R1000 Superbike then led into professional racing, becoming race winners in both WorldSBK and MotoGP. But after already having left WorldSBK, Suzuki withdrew from MotoGP due to ‘financial challenges’ and wanting to re-focus its efforts on the electric vehicle market.
