ChassisEdit
It came with a 120/60 ZR17 front tire and a 160/60 ZR17 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via 2 x 310 mm Discs, 4 piston calipers in the front and a Single 230 mm disc, 1 piston caliper in the rear. The front suspension was a 43 mm Telescopic forks adjustable for preload rebound damping while the rear was equipped with a Full-floater Monoshock adjustable for preload rebound damping. The GSX-R 750RR Limited Edition was fitted with a 19 Liters / 5.0 US gal / 4.2 Imp gal fuel tank. The bike weighed just 187 kg / 412 lbs. The wheelbase was 1400 mm / 55.1 in. long.

OverviewEdit
Suzuki GSX-R 750RR Limited Edition
The luscious and expensive limited edition GSX-R750R was
released to Japanese market with a return to the long-stroke motor of the
F/G/H models. 500 limited edition (some claim 1000) GSX-R750R ( the
'Double R') serving as ready-to-race platform The newly redesigned
engine reverted to the original long stroke (70 x 48.7mm) configuration.
Crankcase, crankshaft connecting rods and clutch were among the critical
areas receiving more attention necessary for the race duty. The 'Double R'
also received new 40mm Slingshot carburetor and 4-into-1 exhaust pipe as
well as close ratio gearbox, rear swing arm with sub frame, new aerodynamic
fiber with large air intake duct, solo seating with race number box and 19
liter aluminum fuel tank as standard equipment. The dry weight measured,
187kg.
When the Suzuki GSX-R750 was launched in 1985, it
was the lightest, quickest, most advanced sportsbike available to the public.
This pure supersports model was our first 750cc bike featuring an aluminum
frame of unprecedented light weight and superb torsional rigidity. We had no
real competitors in the market, other than factory racing machines, says
Hiroshi Fujiwara, the Japanese engineer who headed the development of the first
GSX-R back in the 1980s.
With 99 horsepower from its carbureted, oil-cooled, inline-four and with a dry weight of about 179 kilos, the mid-1980s GSX-R750 offered performance that was unrivalled in its time. We knew that reaching our goal of the world's best power-to-weight ratio required to realize overpowering performance would be an enormous challenge, says Isamu Okamoto, the man responsible for designing the first GSX-R750s engine.
And yet, Suzuki not only took on that challenge with the 1985 GSX-R750 but also upped the ante in 1986 with the GSX-R750 Limited Edition. At US$6,500 the LE cost $2,000 more than the standard GSX-R750 and was the most expensive Japanese sportsbike of its time. It featured bits like a gold-plated chain, high-performance radial tires, single seat, tail section made of hand-laid fiberglass, dry clutch, 41mm NEAS front forks (with an electrically activated anti-dive mechanism), three-point steering damper and twin 310mm brake discs up front. And at 176 kg dry, the LE was also 3kg lighter than the standard GSX-R750. These things may not sound special today, but added up to a pretty trick sportsbike back in 1986.
