But that sweet spot in the GSX-R lineage would last only a year before a heavily revised 1991 machine appeared. In 1990, the normal GSX-R gained the R’s long-stroke engine, detuned a fraction at 115hp, and added upside-down forks. It also added a single-seat tail, close-ratio transmission and aluminium fuel tank. Incremental improvements came in 1989, a year that also saw the introduction of the homologation GSX-R750R, with a tuned engine which reverted to the earlier model’s longer-stroke, giving 120hp. Power rose to 112hp but weight also increased to 195kg (dry). ![]() Goodbye slab-sides, hello curves the second-generation ‘Slingshot’ (named after its carburettor design) GSX-R750 appeared in 1988 with a new frame, new styling and heavily reworked engine with a shorter stroke and bigger bore than before.
