Hello all!
This is Mike in F F F Freezing S.Dakota. I am new to the forum and to the world of Suzuki GSXRs. I just picked up 3 of them, yes 3, they came as a package deal. The owner had to put them into storage 5 years ago, all of them ran well at that time. I have been on motorcycles for 40 years, mostly european stuff and Japs here and there. I always liked the early GSXRs but could not afford one back in the day.
The Suzukis are all 1986 models, GSXR750, GSXR1100, and a GSXR50 mini. I am looking forward to picking your brains as I get these back on the road.

No I don't, I won't be starting work on the bikes for a few weeks to see what I have. Realistically, it will be a month or two before I put them up for sale. Being new to Suzukis of this age I wouldnt know what to ask for them. I will do some research and let you know.

Yes awesome score, I had an 86 750, back around 1991 and I have been back burner searching for one the last few years. I just rescued a 97 750 from an impound yard , working on that right now. So by your name “limeymike “ I m guessing English? I was born in Bristol

Wow man, they look the bomb. Great package deal, hope it wasn’t your life savings. I have 2 gsxr1100 L 1990 models, ones in perfect condition and motor bombed to the eye balls and the other is a complete spares bike. So hard to find parts for world wide. If I was you I’d be searching for parts bikes to keep as spares. Suzuki Japan don’t make parts for a lot of the early models anymore. Just advice, I’m 50 and only been into gsxr‘s now for the last 13 years. No going back now.

This is pure, unadulterated eye candy. Nice find! Those were my dream bikes back in the day. They look so well maintained.

Happy New Year! If any of you have not seen this video, especially Limeymike, it quite possibly the best piece of film ever created, :sneaky: please watch, at least 20 times, there will be a quiz on Jan 22.

Also, we will have a field trip to Suzuki in Hamamatsu, optional of course, but extra credit.....more to come on dates, itinerary etc.....
