The Suzuki GSX-R400 was a 400cc class sports bike produced by the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer between 1984 and 1996. It was the first GSX-R model ever made by Suzuki as a race replica evolution of sport touring GSX series. Like other bikes in its class, the GSX-R400 was continuously updated and subsequently there is a slew of different models.
In 1989, the name of the model was additionally supplemented with the letter "R". The new GSX-R400R model name. In 1990, Suzuki introduced a completely new model GSX-R400 with inverted forks and new double cradle aluminium frame and with a new 4 into 1 exhaust power increased to 60hp. In 1993 power was reduced to 53hp because of a power restriction in Japan. Production ceased in May 1996.
GGO is a fine complete example of the model and tribute to the legendary Barry Sheene in the Heron Suzuki colours from the 1970/80’s. Declared manufactured in December 1990 and subsequently registered with DVLA in September 1996, presumably an import from Japan with an age related registration.
The DVLA MOT history shows 2006 at 55,727km, 2007, 56,624, 2008, 56,624, 2009, 58,579 and it was last MOT’d in 20110 at 59,933km. Today it stands at a recalibrated MPH speedo at 35,641 miles. It will require recommissioning before road use.
In 2016 it was with Peter Marsh of Mirfield and then in 2016 with Michael Ives of Liversedge, our vendor buying it soon afterwards.
Sold with V5C.
