SUZUKIGSX-R750 2011 - 2012

　　In 2012, Suzuki released the GSX-R750, a supersport motorcycle with a massive 8 kg (18 lbs) weight reduction, which probably was the biggest improvement of the model.

　　A bunch of bits and pieces were redesigned using the latest developments of the MotoGP and Endurance World Championship programs, which allowed Suzuki to maintain or increase the performance while making it lighter and more compact, with an improved feel.

　　The chassis consisted of a lightweight and compact aluminum twin-spar cradle frame made of five cast sections with a cast-aluminum swingarm complemented by the 41 mm fully adjustable Showa inverted telescopic fork on the front and the fully adjustable Showa aluminum shock on the rear.

　　For brakes, the model featured two 320 mm discs with radial-mounted four-piston Brembo calipers on the front and a single 220 mm disc with a one-piston Nissin caliper on the rear.

　　In the power department, the 2012 Suzuki GSX-R750, powered by a 749cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with forged pistons, pentagonal ventilation holes for better performance, and lightweight titanium valves, developed an output power of 148 hp at 12,800 rpm and 86 Nm (64 lb-ft) of torque at 11,200 rpm.

　　The power output, combined with a dry weight of 156 kg (344 lbs) and a six-speed transmission, resulted in a top speed of 271 kph (168 mph).

　　The hot gases produced by the engine were escaping through a four-in-one stainless steel exhaust system with a titanium muffler and a Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET) valve that maximized torque and improved throttle response in the low-mid rpm range.
