Icon's pristine 1990 Suzuki GSXR750, in all her Hypersport beauty. Sex executed in plastic and aluminum. Her multi-tone blue and white paint as clean and purposeful as a razor. Twenty years on, and now dressed in 750RR plastics, she is still every bit as stunning.
The actual GSX-R750RR was fitted with a dry clutch, braced swingarm, and long stroke motor - only 500 were produced
The RR plastics have a slightly slanted nose with more recessed headlights - side panel venting is also different
We are suckers for solo race tail sections - the RR tail fits the stock GSXR subframe quite well with only a little modification needed to reinforce the seat pan
Purchased for $2000
Fitting the new plastics

ReplyDeleteOld Sportbikes never die, they just get better with age. I am convinced that this will be the next category that Barrett-Jackson will ruin.
