The GSX-R750 is a great choice for riders looking for superbike-like power with the lightweight feel and handling performance of a 600cc supersport machine. The original 750cc supersport bike on the market, the GSX-R750 continues a legacy dating back to the model’s ground-breaking launch in 1985, where it took race replica motorcycles to a whole new level.

Powered by an advanced 750cc, in-line four-cylinder engine it produces 110.3kW of power at 13,200rpm with 86.3Nm of torque at 11,200rpm. Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) offers push-button selection of two race-developed engine control maps that regulate the fuel injection system, secondary throttle valve and ignition system to suit personal preference or riding conditions, such as going from the racetrack to the street or breaking in a new rear tyre.

The GSX-R750’s chassis has been designed with an emphasis on weight reduction and compactness to improve overall handling and provide an ideal power-to-weight ratio. The lightweight twin-spar aluminium frame, made from just five cast sections and cast swingarm, delivers superb cornering on both the road and racetrack, with optimal rigidity and unmatched accuracy. Three-way adjustable footpegs help offer a comfortable, ergonomic riding position for a variety of riders.

The GSX-R750 features inverted, lightweight Showa Big Piston Forks (BPF), developed on the racetrack for supreme handling. The fork design eliminates the internal cartridge assembly inserted into each fork leg and instead uses a single 37.6mm piston riding on the inside wall of the inner fork tube. This race-proven design, along with a lightweight fully adjustable Showa rear shock, delivers more effective, linear damping performance resulting in better feedback to the rider for supreme handling.
