In 2015, three decades after the first GSX-R introduction, Suzuki launched the 2015 model year GSX-R750, which carried on the racing heritage from day one. With an output power that almost tapped into the liter-class superbike territory, the model offered everything in a compact size, more like a 600cc Gixxer, and qualified as the worthiest successor of the great racers of yore.
The 2015 model, packed with Brembo Monoblock Radial Mount Calipers, provided better braking performance and was more rigid for better feedback. The suspension package featured Showa Big Piston Forks on the front for quicker reaction and improved damping force, more controlled compression under heavy braking conditions, and enhanced grip.
Two separate performance settings were available with the Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (SDMS), which offered instant control over the power, both on the road and track. For a comfortable position, the model featured three-way adjustable footpegs, an adjustable shift lever, and a short fuel tank.
In the power department, the 2015 Suzuki GSX-R750 featured a 749cc engine with forged pistons, titanium valves, an SDTV fuel injection system with eight-hole injectors, a four-into-one stainless steel exhaust system with a titanium muffler fitted with a SET valve for improved torque in the low-mid rpm range.
With the 749cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine throttled to the maximum, it developed an output power of 148 hp at 12,800 rpm and 86 Nm (64 lb-ft) of torque at 11,200 rpm and pushed the bike to a top speed of 271 kph (168 mph).
