Lot 404
1990 Suzuki GSX-R750L Slingshot
Registration no. G934 AVT
Frame no. GR7AA-100744
Engine no. Rthe details below
Suzuki rewrote the 750-class rulebook when it launched the GSX-R750 back in 1985. The 'Gixxer's development had been strongly influenced by lessons learned from the works TT F1 and Endurance racers; lighter than a 600 and as powerful as a 1000, it made all other super-sports 750s seem flabby and slow. Offered here is one of the most desirable early variants: the 'L' model, which reverted to a extensively revised 'long-stroke' engine (the 1988 and '89 models had a short-stroke motor) while adding 'upside-down' forks, Nissin 4-pot floating front brake callipers, and a 1" wider rear wheel rim to the package. It is also the last version to have the classic twin headlights.
This well-maintained Gixxer has had three owners since new and has recently received comprehensive service. With only 36, 841 miles on the odometer, it boasts a fresh oil filter, new spark plugs and a recently replaced battery as of August this year. The Slingshot comes complete with a V5C registration document, invoices, warranty card, service book, and owner's manual together with two sets of keys. The vehicle was purchased by the current vendor in 2019 and has been kept in good condition and comes with an MoT until August 2025.
All lots are sold 'as is/ where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding. Visit the Bonhams Motorcycles website for all pertinent auction information.
