The first of Suzuki's GSX-R sports bikes, the GSX-R400 debuted in Japan in 1984. Never officially imported into the UK, it underwent the first of many redesigns for 1986, emerging with a new aluminium twin-spar frame and the 'Suzuki Advanced Cooling System' that relied heavily on internal oil cooling for the engine. Handling was universally hailed as excellent, although like all its 400-class rivals the little Suzuki needed thrashing to get anywhere in a hurry.
First UK registered in 1998, this imported example features Suzuki's classic blue/white livery and has been fitted with a Vampire end can, tinted screen, and 'wavy' front brake discs. We are advised by the vendor that the machine last ran in 2015 and that the carburettors need cleaning (the engine runs roughly). Recent re-commissioning included a radiator flush; changing the engine oil and filter; and fitting a new battery and spark plugs. The machine is offered with sundry bills; expired MoTs; a V5C document; DVLA MoT check; workshop manual; and keys.
