In 2012, Suzuki launched the GSR750, a middleweight street bike powered by a GSX-R750-derived re-tuned engine for more mid-range power that introduced a different breed of naked machines, which combined the winning engine recipe with the sporty unfaired attire of the streetfighter series.
The outcome result was a bike with a strong visual appearance that packed aggressiveness in a comfortable and highly-maneuverable combination. The bike featured strong lines that ran from nose to tail with impressive specifications, such as the unique chassis that incorporated the best qualities of a compact tubular steel frame with the pinpoint accuracy of a twin-spar frame.
The GSX-R-derived engine featured some modifications, such as the revised cam profiles, intake, and exhaust tracts, and also tuned for low-end torque and mid-range power with strong acceleration and unmatched throttle response.
The power came from a 748cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-colled engine fed by a fuel injection system, which produced an output power of 105 hp at 10,000 rpm and 80 Nm (59 lb-ft) of torque at 9,000 rpm. Set in motion by a six-speed manual transmission, the bike reached a top speed of 223 kph (139 mph).
The model packed a sculpted bodywork with a vented front fender, molded mirrors, a stylish fuel tank, textured tank side covers, and an angular tail section with an integrated LED taillight.
