1987 Suzuki GSX-R750H 'Slabside'
Registration no. E201 HCG
Frame no. GR75A114530
Engine no. to be advised

Suzuki rewrote the 750-class rulebook when it launched the GSX-R750 on an unsuspecting world back in 1985. One of the modern era's few instant classics and the sole surviving Japanese 750cc sports bike, the GSX-R750 has been a huge commercial success for Suzuki and enjoys cult status today. Now more than 20 years old, many early GSX-Rs have suffered at the hands of successive owners, with anodised fastenings, tinted screens and after-market pipes among the commonest modifications, a state of affairs that has resulted in substantially original examples of the first version – such as the machine offered here – becoming increasingly sought after by collectors.

This Slabside Gixxer was imported into the UK in 2006 and was purchased by the current vendor in 2010. The vendor believed it would benefit from having an MPH speedometer and not the standard KMH as fitted so they changed it over shortly after importing into the UK, we're advised by the vendor that the KMH speedometer had c.14,000 on the clock before it was changed. Benfitting from a recent full service and new battery by the vendor whilst it comes with a fresh MOT until August 2025, offered with a V5C, purchase receipt and two keys.
