In the U.S., Suzuki moto was the first company to offer a serious full fairing on a sportbike, and the Suzuki Gsxr's was by far the most radically designed from an ergonomics point of view. Another aspect of the bike drew gasps of admiration: clip-on handlebars put under the triple clamps, straight from the manufacturer ... unheard of! Previously, full fairings and handlebar assemblies such as these had been available primarily as aftermarket items from European cafe racer accessories companies.
