It’s a perfect describer of Suzuki’s first-generation GSX-Rs. Because if ever there was a ‘radically new’ motorcycle, or one that was ‘beyond established principles,’ it was Suzuki’s 1985 GSX-R750 – and the GSX-R1100 that followed in ’86. As one motorcycle journalist wrote in 1985, “Sportbikes will soon be divided into two categories: before the GSX-R, and after.” Nicely put. The instant it debuted in late 1984 at Germany’s Cologne show, the GSX-R750 electrified the motorcycle world. Few in attendance, or those who read about the bike in motorcycle magazines in later months, could fully absorb the bike’s radical full-fairing look, its astounding dry weight, or the idea that careful and conservative Suzuki had built – and planned to sell! – what was basically a road racer with lights. It certainly looked the part. With its clip- ons, dual headlights, ultra-lithe aluminum chassis and purposeful, business-only stance, the GSX-R appeared as if it might have rolled into the viewing hall after an hour-long endurance-race session at LeMans or Suzuka.

The 42-year-old AMA Pro SuperBike racer believes wholeheartedly that this is the way to live life, and he has put that mantra to the test more than once over the years. Page definitely approaches everything he does with determination and goes full throttle to achieve his goals. Setbacks don’t seem to slow down the exuber- antly cool dad, entrepreneur and extreme sport pro–he just dusts himself off and starts over again. 09/10 Scottsdale HEALTH 39 Page with his Page has sustained a laundry list of two daughters. injuries over the years and has already crashed twice since his return. “Usually people crash four to eight times a season,” Page says. “One out of nine crashes, we’ve estimated, you get hurt really bad.” So what’s the draw for Page? He feels that achieving the status of the elite SuperBike level gives him a confi- dence he can’t get from anything else. “I love it because people seem drawn to SuperBike racers. There’s just some- thing about it, when you put your life on the line, that’s interesting and it’s not about money,” he elaborates.
