Thinking about buying a GSXR 750 next summer.Are the performance/torque specs very different between the 1100 and the 750´s?I guess the 600´s need to get revved a lot to get some speed out of them...

Here is my 93' GSXR1100:

But I suppose that is true for any smaller displacement engine. The newer 600's will run off and hide from the older 750's. what year are you thinking of getting?
Oil jets under piston is an old dirt track trick at least since the 60'scrazypj said:Probably my most favorite engine ever. 8)
Which 1100, L, M? Still pretty twitchy on the street but ideal for racing
It does have limitations but a dead reliable 140 bhp. (more with a modified 1200 Bandit motor)
Oil cooling isn't most efficient but beats the hell out of air cooled (unless ducted fan) One thing Suzuki did introduce to motorcycle world that 'everyone' now uses - under piston oil jets squirting on bottom of piston crown.
With modern low viscosity synthetic oils, heat transfer can be improved but still needs more oil cooler surface area than a water cooled motor

Really an eye-sore right now.
Its a 1100 built in 1989.What do you think?
If its been ridden like its been designed to, as in constant autobahn wheelies, dont buy it. Noone sane buys old wheelie machines with worn out gearboxes and cranks run with limited oil supply.1fasgsxr said:Yeah fix that tail pointing to the sky and any other things you don't like and ride that thing.. Looks like it is clean otherwise.

Hehe, good call i think. This type of bikes are worth close to nothing in swedenRyan Stecken said:thats what I fear, checked the facebook profile of the seller and he´s the lowered VW Gti kind of guy, young and probably relentless
he actually says that the machine never ran and he never had time to clean the carbs and change the battery...i call bullshit.
datadavid said:Rods drilled in a "Y" style, directed to spray underneath the piston. Found it in a bsa engine here in sweden and had it explained by an old dirt tracker, apparently very common.. so the japs copied that as welland those german streetfighter with the "tysk-ass", damn they dont look right..
