I was LUCKY ENOUGH to have in 1992, a 1990 CMRA worthy GSXR 750R!! I was 20 yrs old and weighed 140lbs soaking wet!!! I rode it on the streets of southwest Houston texas!! It was soooo loud with D&D exhaust and so fast and JUMPED railroad tracks like a supercross dirt bike!!! Oh well!! Hope y’all reading know my joy with yor own memories!!
Cheers to all good people
Those brazed joints...works of art.
the brazing is unreal, fantastic stuff!
Looks wonderful and sounds even better.......yes please !
Absolutely Brilliant
Truly a special bike with very special builders !
Wonderful Bike !
You can't beat 4 pots & 4 carbs! Never selling my bandit 1200! !
Lucky enough to know Brian. I live in America and tell everyone about him! That frame is absolutely beautiful!
Its a work of art mate, i could literally just sit and stare at the bare frame and swingarm i feel... 👍

SOOO...when are you going to turn your attention to the GSXR750W?

Revin Kevin....back when we (yanks) had GP riders that ruled the paddock. Now we got nothing. Maybe the King of the baggers will produce some quality riders, like back in the good days of AMA Super Bike.
Wish the interviewer would stop talking over the Suzuki man! Let Him finish His sentences ffs! Lovely lovely bike. 😎
Why is the frame brazed vs tig welded?
More than likely it's Tig Bronze brazed, gas brazed would ruin the tubing strength.
Chromoly tubing is strong, so they make it thinner to make it light, if you tried to weld it, you'd just blow through it, or over heat it. Brazing is below the melting point of steel, thus does not change the metallurgy of the tubing. Besides, it looks trick as f***! :)
This is not a XR 69 nor should it be classed as a classic racer when it is fitted with a modern Suzuki Bandit 1200 engine not a GS 1000 from the nineteen seventies.
