The two Editor’s Scrapbook layouts seen below were published in Roadracing World in 2017 and 2013, featuring photos from the worldwide media intro for the revolutionary Suzuki GSX-R750, held at Suzuki’s test course on February 2nd, 1985. Plus a bonus photo of John Ulrich riding the bike during the intro. The air/oil-cooled bike quickly dominated 750cc Supersport races worldwide, and became competitive in Superbike races as well. It was the first GSX-R model, later joined by the GSX-R1100, and later still, the GSX-R600.
