In 1986, Suzuki released the GSX-R1100, a sport motorcycle and a big brother for the GSX-R750 that debuted the previous year. The model was based on the same concept as its little brother but received an increased displacement of 1,100cc compared to 750cc of the GSX-R750.

The engine fitted on the bike featured an advanced Suzuki Advanced Cooling System (SACS), which sprayed 20 liters of oil per minute onto the cylinder heads. The engine that powered the 1986 Suzuki GSX-R1100 was 22 percent lighter than an air-cooled engine and combined with the frame that was designed based on computer analytics, which weight was reduced by 25 percent compared to the previous model, the bike developed a tremendous power-to-weight ratio.

With an increased displacement of up to 1,052cc, the four-stroke four-cylinder oil-cooled engine with a power output of 130 hp with a peak at 9,500 rpm and 101 Nm (74 lb-ft) of torque available at 8,500 rpm combined with a five-speed manual transmission and a dry weight of 197 kg (434 lbs), the bike reached a top speed of 249 kph (155 mph).

For suspension, the model packed a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front and a full-floater monoshock on the rear, while the stopping power was generated by two 310 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 220 mm disc on the rear wheel.

With over 100 HP output, the GSX-R 750 was a detuned version of the GS1000R racer. The street-legal limited version GSX-R750R model was introduced for 1986. The basic specifications of the bike were the same as for the standard model (except for the seat height) but the the ”double R” model offered some interesting goodies that improved an already great bike.

At the beginning of 1984, Suzuki launched the GSX-R 400, which was the first mass-produced racer replica that featured an aluminum cradle frame and an inline-four liquid-cooled DOHC engine with four-valve per cylinder.

The model was based on the GS1000R racer and had rivals such as the Yamaha FZ400R and Honda CBR400R which were 13-31 kg (29-68 lbs) heavier. Like other bikes of the time, the GSX-R 400 motorcycle was very light with quick handling and featured a powerful four-in-one exhaust system and a 10 kg lighter engine than the previous GSX-R400 model.

The 1984 Suzuki GSX-R 400 packed an aluminum angular pipe double cradle frame with a non-adjustable aluminum swingarm on the rear and a telescopic fork on the front, while the braking power was handled by two discs with four-piston calipers on the front and a single disc with a two-piston caliper on the rear.

In the power department, the bike had at its core a 398cc four-troke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that developed an output power of 59 hp at 11,000 rpm and 39 Nm (29 lb-ft) of torque at 9,000 rpm. Equipped with a six-speed manual transmission and with a dry weight of 152 kg (334 lbs), the 1984 Suzuki GSX-R 400 was the fastest and best-selling 400cc bike in its class.
