SUZUKI GSR750 ABS (2011-2012) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2012, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Suzuki GSR750 ABS, a motorcycle that retained the evil looks and exhilarating engine character from the base model and introduced an increased road safety feature thanks to its ABS brakes.

The bike was behaving much better on slippery surfaces and under strong braking conditions, which added to the stability and feeling of control when things got rough. Also, the GSX-R-derived engine was revised and delivered more power and torque in the low-rpm range with an instant throttle response.

The combustion efficiency was also improved, with cutting-edge design techniques that reduced the mechanical losses and delivered a 10 percent improvement in fuel efficiency compared to the GSR600 model.

In the performance department, the 748cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled GSX-R750-derived engine provided low-end torque and mid-range power such as 80 Nm (59 lb-ft) of torque at 9,000 rpm and 105 hp at 10,000 rpm. Equipped with a six-speed manual transmission and with a wet weight of 211 kg (465 lbs), the 2012 Suzuki GSR750 ABS reached a top speed of 223 kph (139 mph).

In the aesthetic department, the bike 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.
