"The GSX-R750 is a 750 class sport bike motorcycle from Suzuki's GSX-R series of motorcycles.

Suzuki GSX-R750
Air and oil-cooled
The oil cooled models can be further divided into the first generation and second generation oil-cooled models. They are informally referred to as slabbies (slang) and slingshots respectively. The 85-87 models featured body work which is very flat compared to modern sport-bikes , hence slab-side. The '88-91 (92 USA) models are sometimes referred to as slingshots because the carburetors introduced in 1988 were marketed as slingshot carburetors (slingshot describes the cross section of the semi-flat slide carbs.wikipedia).
