When the first GSX-R750 started roaming the streets and spreading fear on the racetracks, Suzuki knew that it stumbled into a unique recipe for a legendary supersport bike.
Almost three decades after the Gixxer family was born, Suzuki launched the GSX-R750, which proudly showed that it has gone a long way and lived up to great expectations. The bike packed weight and dimensions like the 600cc Gixxer but backed by a solid amount of extra power and torque like any decent racing-focused machine delivered.
The 2014 Suzuki GSX-R750 featured a race-proven engine with high-revving performance thanks to its forged pistons, pentagonal ventilation holes, lightweight titanium valves controlled by a single valve spring to reduce mechanical losses, four-into-one exhaust system with a titanium muffler, and much more tweaks and tricks.
The 2014 Suzuki GSX-R750 bike had its heartbeat set by a 749cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with an output power of 148 hp at 12,800 rpm and 86 Nm (64 lb-ft) of torque with a peak at 11,200 rpm.
The bike featured three-way adjustable footpegs, an adjustable shift lever, and a shorter fuel tank for a more comfortable seating position. It also came equipped with a lightweight instrument cluster, incorporated with a lap timer/stopwatch and programable engine rpm indicators.
Saving the best for last, the engine power, combined with a six-speed manual transmission and a dry weight of 156 kg (344lbs), knocked the radar on the ground when it passed through with a top speed of 271 kph (168 mph).
