176 kilograms, an aluminium frame, and no water-cooling because a radiator weighed too much.
By Rotarium
A dedicated model study of the 1985 machine that invented the race replica. Covers the Cologne unveiling in October 1984, the endurance-racing brief, and the weight obsession that produced an aluminium-framed 750 cooled by air and oil rather than water. Includes full specifications, model-year identification from the two-piece-seat 1985 F through the longer-swingarm 1986 G to the 500-unit Limited Edition, the reliability picture, a complete inspection sequence, and live European pricing. Closes on the clearest anomaly in the Rotarium catalogue: unlike every other model we track, the GSX-R750's later Slingshot generation trades 35% above the original Slabside.
