When the Suzuki GSX-R1100 was introduced in 1986 it sent shockwaves through the media, it was one of the first 'modern' superbikes and its 128bhp engine made it one of the fastest production motorcycles the world had ever seen.

The Suzuki GSX was nicknamed the "Gixxer" early in its life and it's a name that stuck with the model through several generations of production. It was a model that triggered an acceleration of the arms race that was already well underway between the big four Japanese motorcycle manufacturers – Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki and Suzuki.

Suzuki and the GSX-R1100

The development of the GSX-R was led by Suzuki engineer Etsuo Yokouchi, he worked with his engineering team to create a superbike that would fundamentally change the superbike market and provide some much needed competition for the Honda Interceptor.

Yokouchi and his team developed a new square-shaped alloy frame for the GSX-R that would prove considerably lighter than a comparable tubular steel duplex frame that had been used extensively by motorcycle manufacturers for decades.

The first Suzuki GSX-R was introduced in the 1984 model year but was only sold in Japan, it was the GSX-R400 and would set the framework for all Gixxers that would follow. The larger GSX-R750 would arrive in 1985 and this was followed by the GSX-R1100 in 1986.

Each of these three models used a lightweight square-line frame, an air- and oil-cooled inline four-cylinder engine, dual overhead cams, and top-of-the-line brakes and suspension. All of this was wrapped in a full fairing often finished in a distinctive two-tone white and blue livery.
