Hi ladies and gents. I’ve had GSXR’s from the very first F model introduced into the UK in 1985. This was followed by at least seven other models up to 2001 when my younger two kids were born. I bought a tatty 40,000 mike, one owner ‘85 slabside in 2008 and it’s proving to be the slowest restoration I’ve undertaken. This is largely down to work, family and other bike projects. This year I decided to focus on this bike alone.
