Here in US there was A 1992 750N. Lets call it a first half 1992. It is in fact a 1992 N model designation. And there are also 1992 registered water cooled 750s. It's about 50/50 here when you find a 92 750 for sale. I would love to find the slingshot version in nice shape. Edited July 12, 2017 by boilerdude 2 Quote Link to comment
Oilyspanner Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I reckon the U.S. were the lucky ones Boilerdude, an extra year of OC 750s ! - I could have a 750N with the black/silver tiger stripe design to go with my 1100...... It's odd that Suzuki didn't release OC 750s in every market in 1992, the 1991 M was loved by the press and public - pressure for water cooled engines for racing perhaps ? 1 Quote Link to comment
Dezza Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Did the 1992 OC US 750s come in the same colour scheme as the Euro 1992 OC 750? Looking at the pictures above it still beggars belief that someone thought the change from 1991 to 1992 was an improvement. Maybe Stevie Wonder was then working for Suzuki as a design consultant.

boilerdude Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) I think the pink is rad. Might be my favorite slingshot of all. but there was also these colors 92. Edited July 12, 2017 by boilerdude 4 Quote Link to comment
Dezza Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 The black and grey above is better than some. Each to their own I suppose 1 Quote Link to comment

yann7/11r Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 My 750 in "flower power " version... 13 Quote Link to comment
Crass Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Here's my 750L. Only thing different as it is now is a 30mm jack-up kit I fitted recently with WN sidestand to match. Largely stock machine just improvement mods - K&N air filter in airbox, Hel braided lines, Nitron Sport shock, exhaust is stainless headers (unknown make) welded to Devil link pipe (also had Devil can when bought but I've changed that for the A16 can seen here), powdercoated wheels and swingarm, fresh paint (no decals), Toby steering damper. 5 Quote Link to comment
baldrick Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Here is mine in its most common pose. this is/ was the orange one which appeared in the very first OSS calander, way back in 1937, or at least it seems that long ago. I never liked it orange its now white and silver with marbelised bits. Just need to sort the wiring locations out (that's why its been on the bench so long - I fucking hate wiring 2 Quote Link to comment

Del Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 My 1100k in it's many guises.Now off to a new home Next to Visman's tls in the first pic 3 Quote Link to comment
Oilyspanner Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Liking the colour scheme Del, sort of a variation on a Suzuki scheme - nice ! Quote Link to comment
Oilyspanner Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I didn't post a recent photo of mine, here's one with the GSXR750K9 front-end, a further 8lb knocked off of the slightly lightened original set-up that was on it - looks alright. The foxeye fireblade headlight isn't as good as I'd like - I'll probably have another go at reshaping it in the future. 4 Quote Link to comment
Jonny Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) Here's mine a couple of years ago. It has had quite a bit of work done to it since. Edited July 20, 2017 by Jonny 5 Quote Link to comment
Nick Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Here's my two. The blue/black one is actually an 1100N in M clothing (same scheme as Oily's - the original fairing is preserved in the loft). The red 1100M is currently in it's naked guise and gets lots of attention from the hipster crew... Had the N since I was 21 (thirteen years ago) and will never sell it unless I am destitute, god forbid!! 2 Quote Link to comment

davecara Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 My ongoing money pit that I can't seem to get running. ECU wiring was ripped off in anger a few weeks ago so hopefully it's get somewhere once I've got my EFE finished Quote Link to comment
Gsxr750e Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Picked her up a month ago. Just got into her...looks like I'm in need of a new head... Quote Link to comment
alfiestorm Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Some pics of my 1216 hooligan slingshot, It now has the ABE wave discs fitted on the front but not shown in the pics as they were away being re-rivetted at the time. 4 Quote Link to comment
