There are a lot of reasons the 750 has maintained its place in the brand’s lineup. For those who like a bit of nostalgia, the platform hearkens back to the original Suzuki superbike from 1986. It has remained unchanged now for going on 13 years, so lacks many of the modern electronic upgrades that have become standard on other models, coming with only the Suzuki Drive Mode Selector system and an electronically controlled steering damper. A boon to those who prefer a more analog experience on the road or track.

It provides 600-level agility with an engine that feels like a “race-prepped 600 with a beefier bottom-end,” according to our tester during our last ride on the platform. It’s proven its chops in the MotoAmerica Supersport class and has become known as a remarkably comfortable and easy-to-ride motorcycle for street riders.
For a little refresher, the GSX-R750 is powered by a 750cc inline-four that we’ve found is capable of putting down around 121.5 hp at the rear wheel. It utilizes a 600-style chassis with a Showa Big Piston Front Fork and a Showa shock, along with Brembo Monoblock calipers at the front. It has a back-torque-limiting clutch, a built-in lap timer and programmable shift light, and a cockpit that eagerly welcomes a wide variety of riders.
Beyond that, there’s not a whole lot to say. The GSX-R750 will be available in Pearl Brilliant White and Metallic Matte Stellar Blue or a combination of Solid Iron Gray and Glass Sparkle Black. A GSX-R750Z edition will also be available, coming in Suzuki’s classic Pearl Brilliant White and Metallic Triton Blue.
