1985
Suzuki GSX-R750
The first GSX-R750 applied the "race bike with lights" philosophy with ruthless efficiency — an oil-cooled four-cylinder producing 100 hp in an aluminium frame weighing only 178 kg. It destroyed its conventional competition and launched the sportbike arms race that continues to this day. Every modern supersport motorcycle owes its existence to the original GSX-R.
