The legendary superbike that marked it's place in history a quarter of a century ago, Niall reminisces about the '85 & '86 Suzuki GSX-R750
Find an excellent example and you'll realise why this was one of the key machines that transformed sports bikes. "Life changing,"' as Whit would say. So let's set the context: early '80s sports machines were heavy and wallowy.The first GSX-R750 (it

Used Review: Suzuki GSX-R750
By Bertie Simmonds on 28/09/2008 16:25:56
A classic headbanger's bike, the SRAD and 750Y models of the legendary GSX-R were once giant killers. But how do they stand the ravages of time?
on the second-hand front, with both the SRAD and the 750Y. From £1500 for an SRAD track bike to almost £6000 for a mint late model Y, there's a little piece of biking history that's affordable to all.Continue the Suzuki GSX-R750 Used Review

With a £5000 budget we delve into the second-hand market to test four of the best used bargains around.
miles on the clock, an excellent 2001 Suzuki GSX-R750 and, the biggest surprise for me, a 2000 Ducati 748 (although to be fair it was a bit tatty).A fine selection of bikes, all of which have fallen foul of simply growing old and being updated. In 2002

By Jon Urry on 09/09/2010 11:30:18
Suzuki's GSX-R brand represented the ultimate race replica for the people. Can Kawasaki's masterpiece take it on?
proper sports bike, or something that looked the real deal, but would be a road-focused pussycat to ride - hence the huge success of the ZX-7RThe great leap forward for Suzuki is so evident in its styling. Whilst retaining the overall aggressive identity

Where we were kings: used sports bike test
By Jon Urry on 10/09/2010 15:50:32
The quintessential Blade that was so good it was generally overlooked, the underrated GSX-R750 that was admired by those who bought one and the R1 a Japanese bike with styling that matched the Italians
’s 2004 GSX-R750 and Yamaha’s 2002 YZF-R1 were the first of the truly stylish Jap fours. Each of these bikes was slightly over-shadowed in its day by a more headline-attention grabbing rival, but now are proving stars of the secondhand market. And rightly

Used Test: Suzuki DL1000 V-Strom
By Bertie Simmonds on 09/04/2008 23:01:00
Handsome is as handsome does. And if that's the case, many owners reckon the V-Strom is drop-dead gorgeous and offers plenty of smiles for the miles.
. Suzuki has made some legendary fours in their time - the oil/air cooled GSX-R750/1100 family for a start - but in creating the TL1000S motor they made another classic. De-tuned for use in the V-Strom, the 996ccV-twin is nevertheless an absolute peach

By John Cantlie on 17/06/2010 09:17:31
The mid 1990s was the era of the racebike on the road. World Superbikes became massive, so the manufacturers produced exotic superbikes for the fight. And none were more special than Ducati’s bellowing 916SP or Honda’s mighty RC45

The ultimate buyer’s guide for the Kawasaki ZX-7R from the people that ride them
-stroked development of the ZXR750. Even then, it was not as radical as its opposition – the Suzuki GSX-R750WT. The 7R was longer, heavier, had slower steering and made less power. But amazingly it out-sold the GSX-R.What the 7R had was good looks and a front end that

Used Test: Suzuki TL1000R
By Jon Urry on 13/09/2010 13:18:40
Created as Japan’s first V-twin World Superbike champion, the TL1000R fell short as a racer. But as a road-going missile, the big Suzuki offered a chunky alternative to Italy’s uncompromising, highly-strung twins. And now it’s criminally cheap
Suzuki ask. Pillion pegs often get removed. If you can’t find any second-hand for about £25 a side, prepare to be shocked and pay £73 a side at your Suzuki dealer. Unfortunately, only the heel plates and front brakes are the same as the 1998 GSX-R750, so
