==Description==
In the early 1980's, Suzuki was a trendsetter in bike technology in the 400cc class—where the racing competition was the fiercest due to rivals such as the Kawasaki Z400FX and the Yamaha XJ400. But the engines of these bikes had "only" 2 valves per cylinder. Suzuki released the first-ever 400cc street bike with 4 valves per cylinder—the GSX 400F—in April 1981, a full 6 months ahead of the 4-valve Honda CBX400F. The next step in the bike's evolution was 1983's GSX 400FW, with a liquid-cooled engine mounted in a square-tube frame. This came out 1 month ahead of Yamaha's XJ400Z, the second bike in the inline-4-cylinder 400cc class to get a liquid-cooled engine.
In the 1984 came the GSX-R, built with Suzuki's Multi-Rib Aluminium Box frame. This was only the second production bike to get an aluminium frame, after the RG250 Gamma. A year later, the GSX-R 750 would be the first in the series with a number in the name indicating displacement. The FW series engine on which the GSX's power unit was based received major modifications, such as small, 10mm plugs that made room for much larger intake and exhaust valves. These mods boost output to 59 hp (tied with the Yamaha FZ400R for first place in power). At only 335 lbs. dry, the GSX was far lighter than the competition, for an almost frightening power-to-weight ratio. In fact, the GSX triggered a veritable arms race among Japanese motorcycle manufacturers.
Despite its reputation for ferocious power, the GSX has nice, flat torque properties and surprisingly faithful handling. These and other properties of the GSX had a substantial effect on subsequent 400cc models.
For the '86 model year, the GSX-R swapped out its double-cradle frame for a twin-spar one, and the engine was re-engineered into an air/oil-cooled unit (in which the cylinder heads are water cooled!). These and other improvements evolved the GSX-R into an even more competitive machine with a lighter, stiffer frame.
