This belongs to a friend of mine and he had it out for a spin yesterday. It looks glorious but you should hear it.

You won't see many of these.

Yep, I would go with that, I thought it was an 1100 at first glance

but then I noticed the seat unit.

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

That tank is a work of art

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

.

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

Here is my guilty pleasure

. 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

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
