The RG250 was the world's first production alloy framed motorcycle. Building upon the Gamma's success, Suzuki introduced the four-cylinder, four-stroke, aluminum framed GSX-R400 in 1984 for the Japanese market. A full 18 percent lighter than comparable bikes on the market, the first GSX-R set the tone for those that would follow.
The 1996 GSX-R was a return to the original formula, with an emphasis on light weight, not just power. Weight was back down to an impressive 394 lb (178 kg). Even though later models also used the Suzuki Ram Air Direct system, GSX-R's from 1996 to 1999 became known as the SRAD models.
The Suzuki GSX1100F is a sport touring motorcycle introduced by Suzuki in October 1987 as part of the GSX series. It had a 16-valve engine and a 5-speed gearbox. It had a full touring fairing and was particularly noted for its electrically powered height-adjustable wind screen that was prone to failures.
The 63 bhp air-cooled, twin-cam, in-line four cylinder, GS750 road bike set the pattern for the GS/GSX range until the birth of the first of the race-replicas, the 1985 air/oil-cooled Suzuki GSX-R750. The GS750 two-valve engine showed the influence of Suzuki's long history of two-stroke design and manufacture; the new four-strokes sporting ...
The transmission output shaft was lengthened to accommodate a wider wheel. A new curved oil-cooler design and oil lines (attached to the oil pan similar to the original 85-87 engines) were installed. The frame was changed for 1990 and used some of the features from the 1989 GSX-R 1100 frame.
The Suzuki GSX650F, in many respects a tweaked Bandit. The GSX650F, produced from 2008, is essentially a variation on the Bandit 650, with much the same specification and components. [9] Although built on a Bandit chassis, the additional lower fairing gives it a sportier look similar to that of the GSX-R series. The engine has also had a small ...
The Suzuki Advanced Cooling System (SACS) was developed by Suzuki engineer Etsuo Yokouchi in the early 1980s. The system was used extensively on GSX-R model bikes from 1985 through 1992. Suzuki continued to use the system in its GSF (Bandit) and GSX (GSX-F, GSX1400, Inazuma) lines until the 2006 model-year and DR650 from 1990 to present.
The first of the GS Series was the four-cylinder GS750 released alongside the GS400 parallel twin in November 1976. [2] (1977 Model Year).The GS750 engine was essentially patterned off the Kawasaki Z1-900, and became the design basis for all air-cooled Suzuki four-stroke fours until the release of the air-oil cooled GSX-R.
