Yep, I would go with that, I thought it was an 1100 at first glance :roll: but then I noticed the seat unit.

And as Pablo says, you won't see many of these, utterly gorgeous 8)

That tank is a work of art =P~

That chaps is a GSXR750R- RK.

Very difficult to get a good one, I've been looking for one for ages.

KR-1R put me onto one in Japan but so far I've not been able to get the deal done. Still trying though.

It was Suzuki's ZXR750RR, VFR750R or FZR750RR, a bike built specifically for WSB racing homolgation and I believe for only one model year.

Not sure but I thought they had flatslide Mikunis on???? This one appears to to have CV's fitted.

I believe the factory code is XR-69.......

Tim aka Strokerboy has one I believe.

all pictures of the RR appear to have the same carb's.

it also should have an aluminium tank, that can easily be checked with a magnet.

this one still looks brand new, how much miles/km does it have ?

Pablo - RR looks really nice. I don't think I have ever seen one in the flesh =P~ .

Flute - TLR is unusual in those colours too =D>

Here is my guilty pleasure :oops: . Bought it as a non runner a while back (brakes, carbs, etc). Slowly improving it and tidying it up. Clearly the top fairing wants a repaint.

Just got to fit a new "open" cable for the throttle and then it's ready for an MOT :lol:

Thats nice Bertie, got any more details about this beauty, I'm on the lookout for one of them soon, (if the prices haven't gone too silly already)
Anything I should lookout for? or just take a punt as there's loads of parts around?? :) (sorry a bit off topic)

It's a 1989 RR. As Smithy points out it was Suzukis WSB race homologation. Close ratio box, and lots of other engine goodies. It's got an aluminium tank, and a little over 3000mls on the clock Jan. He's been after one for ages, and tells me that there where only 50 brought into the UK.
He had a mint 92 blade, and sold it to get the Suzuki. Can't say I blame him. Would'nt it be nice to have a full set of 4.

Flute's TL and BM's GSXR look great, and it got me thinking we should keep a thread devoted to the subject
