Suzuki's seminal GSX-R750 is an evergreen favourite with bikers across the world. When launched in 1985 it almost single-handedly kick-started the craze for race-replica machines, and since then the machine has been one of the leading benchmarks for performance and style, as well as character, in the sports bike class. The GSX-R has stayed in production in its many different forms for the past 15 years and has also had an enviable race record. Since the bike's launch, more than 40,000 have been sold worldwide.
