By waiting until 1986, Suzuki saved buyers money as the tax dropped to 24.4 percent. In the intervening year, Suzuki responded to European riders' complaints about the bike's stability by lengthening the swing arm by one inch. With the ground work laid by earlier, smaller bikes, Suzuki introduced the GSX-R1100 in 1986.
Then in 1985 a 750cc GSX-R was introduced and followed by an 1100cc version in 1986. If the 750cc bike was a fast and capable race-bike for the street, the 1100 was an exercise in raw power and excess.

These Suzuki GSX models were the evolution of the GS series of two-valve-per-cylinder air and oil-cooled four-stroke motorcycles. The first four-valve engines were produced for the 1980 model year, but retained the "GS" designation for the US and Canadian markets until the release of the GSX-R models in 1986 (1985 outside the US).
The 1986 model received a 25 mm longer swing arm to improve the handling. Apart from a modified belly pan and upgraded headlamps, there is very little difference between the 1985 and 1986 models, other than the introduction of Mikuni CV carbs on some markets. 1986 is the first year the model was introduced to the US. 1986 GSX-R 750R

Cycle World's Superbike of the Year for three consecutive years from 1981 to 1983. Cycle Guide said in March 1978, "Technologically, the GS1000 is a landmark motorcycle.
