Great way to show how far bikes have come and how great our country is,,,,, but you really need to give vegemite another go :-) I rode my Suzuki RG500 along the Great Ocean Road in 1988. Higher speed limits, less traffic and zero police presence. They were good times

    The 2017 is technically advanced but it has 1% of the 1985's sheer presence and THAT is what Suzuki needs in the 2017 model.

    Love this video, back in 1986 I thought the original GSXR750 was too focused for me, now years later I have had 6 GSXRs all sizes. I like when the boys get out of the garage and take us on an Adventure. I have many other manufacturers sport bikes and love them all but the early GSXRs wore shocking in their day. I am glad you took time to give credit to the construction of the road builders. I have given credit even years ago to the road builders of The Gap, Cherohala Skyway, Bear Tooth Highway..

    I'd take the original any day. I remember when I saw my first one in '84 like it was yesterday. I can only remember one other bike like that and it was an RC30 in the IOM in '88. I can also remember a magazine article on a GSXR static engine test where the exhausts were glowing cherry red. 🍒 Great moments in my lifelong love of motorcycles. I have many ( first look at an RD 500, push starting a racing RG 500, getting passed by a pristine XT 500, being smoked at the lights by a Katana 1100, seeing a CR 500 doing a double jump, being petrified of driving a GSXR 1100 etc.etc.) but these two have a special place.

    I loved watching this video, on many levels. Having owned a blue and white 1987 GSXR750, there's no mystery there. It was the bomb back when I bought it new. I remember liking the 18" rims compared to the 16"F and 18"R of the other contemporary sportbikes of the day. The added stability added confidence to my developing riding skills. I also loved sitting " in " the bike. Great job guys !

    The ‘85 gsx-r is sooo much better looking than today’s edge styling I guess you’d call it. Just looks like the bodies are chopped up. Love the solid full fairings of the bikes of my generation. My first bike was a 74 Suzuki GT 380 in ‘79 and my third was a new Suzuki GS 1100E in ‘83 for $3495. What a time.
