The GSX-R enjoys a cult-like status among sportbike superbike fans.

MotoUSA is looking for all Suzuki GSX-Rs pre-2007.

MotoUSA is putting out on casting call for pre-2008 Suzuki GSX-Rs for an upcoming old-meets-new GSX-R comparison.

We’re looking to test all the generations of previous GSX-Rs to see how they stack up for a 25-year-anniversity story about the long-time running brand. If you are interested you will get your bike featured online and possibly in the in the magazine as well. And don’t worry, only our most experienced riders (some with current AMA Pro Racing credentials) will ride your baby for handful of laps. We will also put new track-day rubber on each machine, which you will be able to keep after the limited laps we put on each set and as a result should be nearly perfect.

Please send photos of your pre-2008 GSXRs, preferably in the SoCal, NorCal or Medford, Oregon areas, to steve.atlas@motorcycle-usa .com.com It will be for an upcoming history on the 25-year-running Suzuki Sportbike brand. The goal is to find a good selection of different generations to compare. Please let us know ASAP. Stock bikes are ideal, but limited mods (pipe, etc) all be also considered as well.

Thanks for the interest!

-Steve

This is going to be a great story. A gixxer from each generation all the way down to the 1st is fantastic material. I am going to have to go out and buy an old gixxer just so I can get the free new tires!!

Awesome, how cool will this article be. Real world bikes, not OEM ringers, going head to head from all the different model years…brilliant! My guess is the difference between a 1993 GSXR750 and a 1998 (6 yrs.) will be miles apart but a 2004 and a 2009 (6 yrs.) will be very close; especially if you’re using the same control tires on all the bikes.

Please do more comparisons like this with CBRs or Ducati 998 and 1198.

While we are talking about Suzuki GSXRs, what is up with Suzuki? They don’t have any new 2010 models on their web site except for the GZ250. Is Suzuki still making bikes for 2010?????

Tried to e-mail Steve per address steve.atlas@motorcycle-usa and computer states it is an incorrect address. I have a 1986 GSXR750R with 16,000 miles and I live in NorCal if he is interested.

John -Excellent story idea! January 17, 2010 02:07 PM
As someone who is in the middle of restoring an FZR400, I love the older race reps and hope that you get to do more articles about them.
